We all have times where we fall off track with our food and exercise, and getting back into a good routine can be really hard. Here's some tips that may help you get back to healthy habits.

SET YOURSELF A GOAL

Setting yourself a goal, big or small, can really help when trying to get into a good routine. As well as deciding what you want to achieve, think about why you want to achieve that goal and use those reasons as motivation to stay on track. Set your intention, write it down and commit to smashing it!

FOCUS ON THE SMALL DAILY WINS

Sometimes the end goal can seem so far out of reach and it can feel overwhelming. Remember, all big journeys start with small steps. Try to focus on one day at a time and the small, daily wins that you can achieve. The small wins all add up to big steps.

Some little wins:

•       Drink more water each day

•       Take a walk on your lunch break

•       Prep a healthy meal

•       Try a home workout

•       Get to bed 20 minutes earlier, disconnect from your mobile earlier

MAKE A PLAN

By making a plan for the week ahead, you're much more likely to stick to it? Think about your lifestyle / commitments and what works best for you. If you're not a morning person, choose a time to work out later in the day when you've got more time or energy. You could even tick two things off at once and walk or cycle to an appointment instead of driving. I often turn meetings into walking meetings.

DON'T LET A BAD DAY TURN INTO A BAD WEEK

Not all days go to plan, and that's ok. Just do what you can and be kind to yourself. Can't manage a full 30 minute workout? Move for 10 minutes instead. Haven't prepped your lunch? Pick a healthy option when out and about instead. Don't let a bad day turn into a bad week or a bad month. Press reset, pick yourself up and remember consistency always wins!

PREP LIKE A BOSS

Prepping ahead is key to setting yourself up for success. Get organised in the kitchen and batch cook your meals for the week ahead. If meal prep isn't for you, find a freshly prepared meal outlet to supply you with your favourite meals. If It will save time in the week and mean you're less likely to go off track with food choices. Lay out your workout gear the night before.

MAKE SLEEP A PRIORITY

You must give sleep priority if you want the strength and stamina to remain with a schedule and accomplish your goals. Your body will be recharged by sleep, which also improves food selection and increases drive and energy for physical activity.
