I woke up feeling a million times better my splurge-fest last night. And, surprisingly, I even woke up feeling a little bit hungry! Weird, right? All I know is that I am back on track today! 😀
A few thoughts/tips about getting back on track after a splurge:
- I always remember that I can get back on track. There is never a wrong time to focus on healthy eating. The splurge is in the past, and now all I can do is get myself back on the right track. There’s no point in beating myself up over it.
- Some people reduce their calorie intake to compensate for a splurge. If this works for you, great. Keep on doing what works for you. For me, cutting calories makes me feel deprived (and unhappy), so I don’t do it. Instead, I eat normally the next day.
- After a splurge, I eat normally, but try to focus on selecting extra nutritious foods, like fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, lean protein, and, of course, lots of water. Knowing that I am consuming the best possible options makes me feel better about over-doing-it.
- A sweaty workout after overindulging always makes me feel better. I make sure to schedule one into my day.
- For me, life is too short not to splurge from time-to-time. However, I make it a point to identify why I went overboard in the first place. This helps me the next time I am faced with a splurge-type of situation. Live and learn.

In my oat bowl:

Question of the Day
I’ve already asked this question on the blog, but it’s always a fun one! Plus, I love finding birthday twins!
When is your birthday?
I’ll go first: June 19, 1980. I’ll be 29 on Friday– the final year of my 20’s! 😯
