Getting over the Easter Binge

                                                 Everyone knows calories don't exist on Easter... 
Ok... Maybe that's just my wishful thinking :) 

I love my clean eating and training but I also really love my chocolate haha I had another road block I had Easter then my birthday not that long after which means double the cheat meals..
I took full advantage of both days and my stomach is a little sore still lol

First thing to remind yourself is when you eat naughty food it doesn't turn into fat instantly haha so don't think you need to jump on a treadmill instantly to burn it off because your body is still trying to metabolise all the food and calories so it takes some time before it gets to your thighs and booty lol  

Here is 5 quick steps to follow to help get you back on track

Step 1.  First things first is to not beat yourself up for enjoying a special event.  You shouldn't get guilty after eating nice food with your friend and family so just stop! breathe! and know everything is ok. No one will judge you or think any different because you eat chocolate or other treats

Step 2.  Don't do anything dramatic and starve yourself the next day. Keep eating how you usually eat so you don't shock your body and it can still just do its thing.

Step 3.  If I have had a big cheat day / night then I will usually hit legs the next day so I can burn the most amount of calories training my biggest muscles.

Step 4.  You can also add in extra cardio eg when you first wake up you can go for a 30 - 40 minute walk before your first meal and also do 20minutes of cardio after your training session

Step 5. Just remember if you eat clean and exercise really good for most of the week I honestly wouldn't stress to much just keep doing what you're doing and just train that little bit harder

Life is about balance and it should be enjoyed :)
