10 Post-Spring Break Cleansing Tips To Get You Back On Track

You feel super gross right now, don't you? After a week of splurging, eating whatever you want whenever you want, and minimal exercise, it can be a little mundane getting back on your healthy track.

Here are some tips to get back on track and stay ~healthy~ going into the summer:

1. Don't quit "eating clean" after your hiatus.

After all the piña coladas and strawberry daiquiris, there's no excuse to let the bad habits continue! Spring break is for letting loose, having fun, eating all the dessert you want, and making endless memories. Don't let your well deserved break from reality hinder the progress you've made so far!

2. Water! 

Slow down your drinking in the weeks to come and drink a lot of water to flush your system (literally).

3. Get your steps in.

After laying by the pool and the beach all day, try to walk whenever you can. For example, begin every workout with a 30-minute walk for the next few weeks or walk to your classes instead of taking the bus, if you're a college student.

4. Remember why you started.

Again, don't let your week of fun allow you to forget why you chose a healthy lifestyle in the first place. Continue to better yourself-- one week didn't ruin how far you've come, so don't let it.

5. Do you track your macros?

If you feel like you've fallen off the deep end during spring break with your food choices, make sure to find a system that works best for you afterward. Have you ever tried tracking your macros? If you don't, I highly recommend trying it out-- here's a simple guide on how to get started!!

6. Listen to your body.

Don't over-do it at the gym to make up for your spring break habits-- it won't help. Instead, just go back to being healthy and happy while giving your body the rest it needs.

7. Avoid the late night binge.

Eat healthy and wholesome meals throughout the day to avoid the late-night 400+ calorie binge, don't deprive yourself all day long just to fail later on!

8. Plan some workouts in advance.

Use the notes app on your phone to plan some workouts before hitting the gym-- it'll make you feel more motivated to work out and feel prepared for the gym.

9. Avoid your sugary favorites a few days after.

If you're feeling anxious about your spring break habits, ditch the super sugary and processed foods that you treat yourself to every once in a while for a week or so.

10. Focus on what you can improve on.

Instead of dwelling on the week, focus on the fun you had with your friends and what you can do moving forward to stay healthy and continue making progress.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
