10 Post-Spring Break Cleansing Tips To Get You Back On Track

You feel super gross right now, don't you? After a week of splurging, eating whatever you want whenever you want, and minimal exercise, it can be a little mundane getting back on your healthy track.

Here are some tips to get back on track and stay ~healthy~ going into the summer:

1. Don't quit "eating clean" after your hiatus.

After all the piña coladas and strawberry daiquiris, there's no excuse to let the bad habits continue! Spring break is for letting loose, having fun, eating all the dessert you want, and making endless memories. Don't let your well deserved break from reality hinder the progress you've made so far!

2. Water! 

Slow down your drinking in the weeks to come and drink a lot of water to flush your system (literally).

3. Get your steps in.

After laying by the pool and the beach all day, try to walk whenever you can. For example, begin every workout with a 30-minute walk for the next few weeks or walk to your classes instead of taking the bus, if you're a college student.

4. Remember why you started.

Again, don't let your week of fun allow you to forget why you chose a healthy lifestyle in the first place. Continue to better yourself-- one week didn't ruin how far you've come, so don't let it.

5. Do you track your macros?

If you feel like you've fallen off the deep end during spring break with your food choices, make sure to find a system that works best for you afterward. Have you ever tried tracking your macros? If you don't, I highly recommend trying it out-- here's a simple guide on how to get started!!

6. Listen to your body.

Don't over-do it at the gym to make up for your spring break habits-- it won't help. Instead, just go back to being healthy and happy while giving your body the rest it needs.

7. Avoid the late night binge.

Eat healthy and wholesome meals throughout the day to avoid the late-night 400+ calorie binge, don't deprive yourself all day long just to fail later on!

8. Plan some workouts in advance.

Use the notes app on your phone to plan some workouts before hitting the gym-- it'll make you feel more motivated to work out and feel prepared for the gym.

9. Avoid your sugary favorites a few days after.

If you're feeling anxious about your spring break habits, ditch the super sugary and processed foods that you treat yourself to every once in a while for a week or so.

10. Focus on what you can improve on.

Instead of dwelling on the week, focus on the fun you had with your friends and what you can do moving forward to stay healthy and continue making progress.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
