Easing Back on Track After the Holidays

Now that the dust has settled after the festive period, if anyone is also like myself, a ridiculous amount of calories have been consumed and now we're playing the "should I check the scales" game of jumping back on the scales to see the damage inflicted from Christmas etc.

It isn't the time to go all in and rip up the plan prior to Christmas and go all out immediately in hopes that the weight gain over Christmas will fade away the more you exercise and the less you eat. Much like the weight gain over Christmas, it isn't as bad as the scales may say, and trying to lose it overnight isn't a miracle worth achieving. Instead, play the long game and get in the mood of making easy changes now that, if you didn't make, you'll regret by the time summer comes and we can no longer hide away with our oversized hoodies.

A few reminders:

  • Don’t slash your calories to unsustainable levels
  • Don’t jump into exercise routines you won’t stick with
  • Focus on small changes that you can maintain over time

The goal isn’t to erase holiday weight overnight, it’s to get back into a rhythm that works for the long term. Summer is still far away, so there’s time to build habits that last.

Have a great 2025!
