The Post-Easter Refresh: Simple Steps to Get Back on Track
The Easter break is over, and we hope you had time to relax, unwind, and spend quality moments with loved ones. But if you found yourself enjoying one (or three!) too many hot cross buns or Easter eggs, don’t worry—you’re not alone!
It’s completely normal to indulge over a long weekend, and the good news is that getting back on track doesn’t require drastic measures. You don’t need to hit the reset button—just a few small adjustments will help you pick up where you left off and keep moving towards your health goals.
Here’s your Post-Easter Refresh Plan to help you feel your best again:
Step 1: Lay back, breathe, and stay calm
Don’t stress about the scales
After a weekend of indulgence, it’s common to see the number go up—but this is often due to water retention from extra salt and carbs, not fat gain. Give your body a few days to recalibrate before worrying about the numbers.
💡 Tip: Weigh yourself at the same time each morning (after using the bathroom) to get a consistent and more accurate reading.
Step 2: Get back to your healthy favourites
You don’t need to “undo” anything by restricting food or skipping meals.
Jump back into your usual routine by eating balanced, nutrient-rich meals that you enjoy. Focus on lean protein, high-fibre veggies, and whole grains to keep you feeling full and energised.
🍎 Try this: Prep your favourite healthy snacks and lunches to ease back into your routine. Consistency is key!
Step 3: Practice mindful eating—without guilt
Food is meant to be enjoyed
Instead of dwelling on the extra treats you had, use this as an opportunity to tune into how food makes you feel. Pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues, and make conscious choices moving forward.
👀 Tip: If you have leftover Easter treats, savour them slowly and mindfully instead of eating them all at once.
Step 4: Move your body—because it feels good
Getting back into movement doesn’t mean punishing yourself for what you ate.
Find ways to move that you enjoy, whether it’s a brisk walk, a yoga session, or dancing in the kitchen.
🏃♂️ Pro tip: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week. If you’re short on time, break it into smaller bursts—every little bit counts!
Step 5: Revisit your goals and reset your mindset
If the Easter break threw you off track, that’s okay!
Take a moment to revisit your goals and remind yourself why you started this journey. Reflect on how far you’ve come and set a few small, achievable targets to regain momentum.
✅ Action step: Consider using the TWD food tracker to log your meals and stay accountable.
Step 6: Celebrate your non-scale victories
Progress isn’t just about the number on the scales.
Celebrate the small wins—whether it’s having more energy, sleeping better, or feeling stronger. These non-scale victories keep you motivated and reinforce your new healthy habits.
🏆 Question for you: What’s one thing you’ve noticed improving since starting your journey?
Step 7: Remember: One weekend won’t derail your progress
If the Easter break threw you off track, that’s okay!
The key to long-term success is consistency, not perfection. A weekend of indulgence won’t undo all your progress—what matters is how you bounce back. Be kind to yourself and trust the process.
