The holiday season is a time for celebration, connection, and indulgence—but it often leaves our routines in disarray. Skipped workouts, festive feasts, and a bit too much eggnog can take a toll on how we feel. Don’t worry—it’s never too late to reset and refocus. These five simple tips will help you get back on track and feeling great in no time!
1. Check Where You’re Starting
Start by establishing a baseline. Whether you jot down how you’re feeling, measure your waistline, or weigh yourself, having a starting point will help you track progress. Remember, it’s not just about numbers—how you feel is just as important! Choose a method that keeps you motivated and encouraged as you work toward your goals.
2. Drink Plenty of Water
Hydration is essential for recovery and balance. Water supports digestion, boosts energy, and helps curb cravings. Aim for 3 liters (101 ounces) daily, starting with a big glass in the morning. Feeling snacky? Try drinking a glass of water first—you might just need hydration, not a snack.
3. Get Back in the Kitchen
Cooking at home puts you in control of your meals, making it easier to choose wholesome, nutrient-dense foods. Plan your meals and snacks ahead of time to avoid unhealthy choices. Bonus: home-cooked meals are not just good for your health but also your wallet after holiday spending!
4. Add More Plants to Your Plate
Feeling sluggish? That might be from heavy holiday fare. Reset your system with plant-based foods rich in fiber, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. These foods help digestion, reduce bloating, and provide sustained energy.
5. Make a Workout Plan
It’s time to get moving! Start with a manageable exercise schedule—like 30 minutes, three times a week—and pick activities you enjoy. Pilates, strength training, or a brisk walk can make a big difference in how you feel. Focus on consistency rather than intensity to build lasting habits.
