One of the hardest things for me is getting back on track when returning from vacation. Especially the longer the vacation the harder. It reminds me all again of how important for me consistency is. I am not very good at "starting again." We all know that starting a workout program or the initial change in diet is hard. Humans are creatures of habit and so the easier way is usually the road taken. If you find yourself "starting" again here are a few tips that might help you and remind myself
1. Start slow, if it sounds overwelming to do a hour of exercise start with 20 minutes and work your way up. Usually once you start each week gets a little bit easier making it easier to increase your exercise time.
2. Replace the negative voice and comments that we all make to ourself inside with positive comments that will build you up. We are all struggling in some way and heaven knows there is enough negative around us in the world.
3. If you have to skip a day or "mess up" remember that tomorrow is a new day and recommit yourself again. True failure is when you stop trying.
4. Remind yourself or write it down all the reasons why you should exercise and live a healthy life. Revisit this list often so you can get motivated often.
5. Remember that it is not about being skinny but livng the best life you can live.
