Spring break is quickly approaching and everyone is trying to get their beach bod for bikini season. This, however, is much harder than it may appear. This means saying no to 12 A.M. Dominos runs after a night out, this means no In N Out runs after a six-hour study binge, this means many more gym sessions and many less Netflix movie nights. Getting Cabo ready can be tough, so remember it’s OK to give up. Keep these key instructions and thoughts in mind when preparing for that spring break bod:
1. Start early because chances are you are bound to get derailed a couple times along the way.
2. Gym together. Friends keep friends motivated, so never leave a friend behind. Going to the gym together will make it a lot easier to stay that extra 30 minutes that you might have not before or to work a little harder. Everything is easier with a support system.
3. Take time to reward yourself. You have a long road ahead of you, it’s OK to treat yourself occasionally.
4. No need to feel guilty about taking a break from the kale and spinach for a meal or two.
5. It’s starting to get harder to eat healthy. And you never want to see the color green again.
6. And you start to think it might be easier to give up than go through this kind of torture.
7. You begin hating those girls that can eat anything they want and never gain a pound.
8. You start to question if what you're eating is even healthy for you. You wonder if you've even lost any weight at all.
9. Your friends start to get annoyed with you because all you talk about is your diet and how hard it is to stay on track.
10. You justify everything you eat with at least you went to the gym that day.
11. It’s getting down to the last week or so before you are about to be shirtless and pantless in public 24/7 and all you can think about is all the food you want to eat once it’s over.
12. And if all else fails, you can always buy one of those cute cover-up wraps and just never take it off. And if you wear this beach cover-up, it's as if you dieted for months before break but in reality you didn't. It's a win-win.
13. Then once spring break is over you can binge eat all of your favorite foods you have been deprived of for so long. And the best part about it is you couldn't care less. Bring on the beach cover-up.
I think we have established just how hard it can be to get spring break ready. So therefore do your best to keep your sanity and to not obsess too much. Just eat some of that green shit everyone can't get enough of and hit the gym and you'll be bikini-ready before you know it. And if that doesn't work out, don't stress about it too much, there is always next year.
