Back on Track – Your After-School Holidays

The school holidays have come and gone—and if you’re feeling a bit like your routine got tossed out the window with the last packed lunch, you’re not alone! Whether you were juggling childcare, squeezing in family trips, hosting sleepovers, or simply trying to stay sane while keeping everyone entertained, there’s one thing we all seem to do during the holidays: put ourselves last.

Now that the kids are back at school, it’s the perfect moment to hit reset—but not with guilt or pressure. Let’s talk about how to gently get back into a slimming mindset and build up momentum with small, achievable goals.

⸻

Let Go of the Guilt

First things first: if you overindulged, skipped weigh-ins, or had one too many takeaways, that doesn’t make you a failure—it makes you human. Life isn’t meant to be perfect, and neither is your slimming journey. It’s not about being “on” or “off” track—it’s about learning to live in the middle.

Remember: what you do consistently most of the time is what counts—not what you did over the past two weeks.

Why a Reset is Powerful

A reset isn’t starting over. You haven’t lost your progress. You’ve simply hit pause—and now it’s time to press play again.

Think of this time as your chance to:

• Reconnect with your goals

• Rebuild healthy habits

• Refocus your mindset

• Reclaim time for YOU

Step-by-Step Reset for BEEWEIGHED Members

1. Set Mini Goals

Forget huge overhauls. Start with two or three small goals for the week ahead. Some simple ideas:

• Drink 2L of water each day

• Track your food for 3 days

• Add a portion of veg to every meal

• Go for a walk after school drop-off

• Cook 3 homemade meals this week

These aren’t huge changes—but they’re powerful. Mini goals build confidence, which fuels motivation.

2. Do a Gentle Food & Kitchen Reset

• Take 15 minutes to clear out anything that no longer supports your goals (those half-eaten Easter eggs, perhaps?)

• Make a shopping list of easy, slimming-friendly staples (think eggs, frozen veg, lean meats, oats, yogurt, fruit, etc.)

• Batch cook one or two meals to help you feel prepared

3. Don’t Punish—Prioritise

No detoxes, no starving, no punishing workouts. Your body doesn’t need punishment—it needs nourishment and love. Focus on adding good things, not taking everything away.

Try:

• Eating meals that energise you

• Drinking more water, not less food

• Moving your body because it feels good—not because you “have to” burn calories

4. Create a Fresh Weekly Routine

Routine helps us feel grounded—and after holidays, we all need that.

You might try:

• Planning meals or snacks on Sunday night

• Setting reminders to drink water or go for a walk

• Building “you time” back into your diary

• Choosing one new recipe or BEEWEIGHED-friendly meal to try each week

5. Reconnect With Your Support System

We see it all the time: members fall out of routine, then feel too embarrassed to come back. But let us remind you: you are always welcome here. No judgement. No shame. Just support.

Coming back to group can help:

• Regain focus

• Feel motivated again

• Be reminded that you’re not alone in this

Remember: Progress is Not Perfection

The post-holiday wobble happens to all of us. Whether you gained a few pounds, maintained, or lost track altogether, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It just means you’re living your life.

Now it’s time to turn the page—not rewrite the book.

⸻

Affirmations for the Reset Week Ahead:

• “I am allowed to start again—without guilt.”

• “Small steps lead to big changes.”

• “Progress is more important than perfection.”

• “I am worth the time and effort it takes to feel good.”
