Top 10 Tips for getting back on track

top 10 tips

After the long holiday weekend you may be feeling like you got a little off track!
Maybe you had a few too many treat?
Maybe you didn’t get your workouts in?
Maybe you stayed up way too late too many nights in a row.

Whatever the reasons you have for needing to get back on track the quicker you do it, the better!

Here are my top 10 tips to getting back on track after a slip!

  1. DRINK YOUR WATER!  It is time to to re-hydrate, re-fresh and detox your body! Water is key since extra salt, sugar, and alcohol can dehydrate your body.  Start the day with a tall glass then drink throughout the day, aiming for 64 to 100 ounces to flush out the extra “stuff”.
  2. DRINK YOUR SHAKEOLOGY!  My secret weapon to getting back on track is my daily Shakeology.  Why not cut your cravings with a sweet treat!  The probiotics, prebiotics and digestive enzymes also help me get my digestion back on track faster after a short time of not eating the way I normally do.
  3. GET MOVING!  A body at rest stays at rest.  You need to break that bad habit ASAP! Go for a walk, jog, or a bike ride.  Push play on your favorite workout.  Find something you will look forward to doing and do it!
  4. GET YOUR SLEEP!  Chances are you may have not gotten the best sleep over the weekend.  Make sure to get to bed early and get back into your regular routine!
  5. AVOID EXCESS SUGAR AND SALT!  You may have overindulged on one or both of these over the weekend.  The best way to break those cravings is to cut them out of your diet right away!
  6. EAT YOUR VEGGIES!  The best way to counteract the added sugar and salt is to up your veggie intake!  Start your day with a green smoothie.  Have a giant salad for lunch.  Snack on some greens, too!  Vegetables are packed with the fiber, vitamins and minerals your body craves.  Feed that craving!
  7. IT MAY BE TIME FOR A REFRESH!  Depending on how far you fell of the wagon or how quickly you want to get back on, it may be time for a 3 Day Refresh.  I love to do this simple 3 day cleanse 2-3 times a year to kick start some good habits after I have overindulged a little.
  8. CHECK IN WITH YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY GROUP/PARTNER!  Chances are you need some extra support and accountability to get back on track.  Check in with your support system and let them know you are looking to make a comeback!
  9. GET INSPIRED!  It’s time to remember why you got started. Read some of your favorite motivational quotes.  Find someone that inspires you.  Plug into those things that get you motivated!
  10. GET OVER IT!  So you fell off the wagon.  Congratulations you are human!  Do not let this de-rail you.  Don’t ever feel like a failure for acting like a normal person! Nobody is perfect.  Brush yourself off and get back at it!

I hope you found this list helpful!  Do you have any favorite sure fire ways to get yourself back on track?

By the way- if you don’t have an accountability group to get plugged into my Summer of Me Virtual Wellness Camp, Part 2 starts on Monday!
