Get Back On Track

Getting back on track with our fitness routine and healthy eating can feel overwhelming. But it’s important to remember that patience and consistency are our greatest tools. Progress doesn’t happen overnight, and small, intentional steps lead to lasting change. Whether it’s committing to a short workout, preparing a nutritious meal, or simply drinking more water, these daily efforts compound over time.

Returning to a routine means giving yourself grace while staying focused on your goals and celebrating your victories (whether big or small) along the way. The key – stay consistent, even when your motivation dips, knowing that perseverance will help you reclaim your health and wellness.

Here are the 6 steps to get back on track:

1. Routine Reset: Return to regular meal times and consistent workouts. Start small and work your way back into your normal routine.

2. Hydration and Detoxification: Increase your water intake to flush out the toxins and reduce bloating. Use electrolyte supplements* to support hydration and recovery. Improve lymphatic drainage through dry brushing. Take time for short walks too as this also helps to assist the lymph fluid carry away waste products and destroyed bacteria from getting back into the bloodstream where the liver and kidneys work to remove it. Limit processed foods, sugar and alcohol.

3. Focus on Nutrition and Eating Whole Foods: Eat nutrient dense meals packed with lean proteins, vegetables, fruits and whole grains to refuel your body and support energy levels.

4. Set Realistic Goals: Take the largest goal you want to accomplish and break it down into smaller, achievable steps. For example, let’s look at your workout. Instead of trying to workout one, long session per week, commit to three shorter workouts each week. Alternate your workout days with walking. Set the goal to walk at least 30 minutes three to four times a week and prepare two home-cooked meals daily.

5. Prioritize Sleep and Recovery: Prioritizing your “sleep hygiene” by creating better sleeping environments and habits for better rest. This includes investing in high-quality bedding, optimizing bedroom temperature, and reducing blue light exposure before bedtime. Getting adequate rest daily is essential for muscle recovery and balanced hormones. This plays a critical role in fitness and weight management. It’s best to aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep every night.

6. Track your progress: using a journal, app or wearable device to monitor your workouts, nutrition, and milestones. Tracking keeps you motivated and highlights areas for improvement.

Remember, small steady changes are key to long-term success and are vital as you regain your fitness rhythm. Each time you make a small, consistent change you are actively creating sustainable habits that lead to long-term success. Focusing on manageable goals keeps you motivated and prevents burnout. Whether it’s improving your diet, increasing your activity level, or refining your routine, progress is progress.

Keep building on your momentum, and the results will follow!
