Post-Easter Guilt

Like many Australians, did you over-indulge during the Easter period?

I know from personal experience that it can be quite difficult to ignore the overload of chocolate! Unless you are a hermit, it can be quite hard to escape… It’s everywhere you look – in shops, people giving and receiving, and advertisements galore. It can be quite easy to get swept up in the retail chaos, especially after Easter Sunday when the eggs are all heavily reduced.

Aside from the religious significances of Easter in Australia, the 4-day Long Weekend is a time to relax and enjoy time with friends and loved ones. It is also a time to reflect!

Easter marks roughly 3 months since the year began and when you made all kinds of promises to yourself to begin the year anew. How have you done so far?

Using myself as an example, I started the year out full of enthusiasm. I kept the momentum going in February by looking at different options for low impact exercise; I even ended up replacing my old rusty mountain bike with a lovely new road bike and began commuting to work. I loved getting up earlier and seeing the sun rise and getting home that little bit earlier of an afternoon, I even lost roughly 8kg! But as I progressed into March, I began to falter and by the time Easter rolled around, I was definitely becoming lazy.

So, I need your help to get motivated again :D

Do you have any tips on how I can get back into the groove again? Maybe I need to alter my approach or thinking? Leave a comment below or on the question above.
