Getting Back on Track

Tips for getting back on track:



• Don’t beat yourself up: if you skip a week’s worth of workouts or overindulge on food and alcohol during a holiday/football weekend, beating yourself up for it can cause you to backslide. The key is 80/20 when it comes to a healthy lifestyle. Not all or nothing. Let it go and start again tomorrow.
• Plan ahead for the week: planning healthy meal options for the week is a good way to prevent making unhealthy food choices. I eat the same things most days of the week when it comes to breakfast and lunch. Dinner is a little more difficult because I plan for two. BUT I stick to simple, quick, and healthy. The good and faithful Pinterest is a great app to find ideas! (;
• Schedule your workouts: pick the days and times you will exercise and stick to it. Find a way. If you’ve got time to watch Netflix or Hulu, you’ve got time to exercise. Make time for it and just do it. The days I have more time, I focus on larger muscle groups (the legs, glutes, back) this allows for more rest in between sets since I have more time in general. The days I have 30 minutes, I focus on smaller muscle groups (biceps, triceps, shoulders) less recovery time needed.
