You Don’t Need to Get Back on Track After the Holiday
If you celebrated Easter, Passover, or just enjoyed a quiet weekend filled with food, family, or some much-needed rest, I hope it brought you joy.
And now that the holiday has passed, you might be feeling a little tug.
The one that whispers, “Time to get back on track.”
Maybe it’s showing up as guilt over what you ate.
Or the urge to restrict, reset, or undo.
Maybe it’s a quiet pressure to "make up for it."
Here’s your gentle reminder:
You don’t need to get back on track.
Because you were never off track to begin with.
You Are Not Behind
Your body didn’t forget how to care for you.
You’re not starting over.
And you definitely don’t need to detox or restrict to “balance things out.”
You’re allowed to enjoy brisket, kugel, deviled eggs, hot cross buns…
Chocolate bunnies, carrot cake, Reese’s eggs.
Seconds of dessert. Extra rest.
All without needing to explain or earn it.
Food is part of celebration.
Rest is part of health.
Joy is part of well-being.
Speaking of Joy… Can We Talk About the Candy Aisle?
Because let’s be honest, the real post-holiday tradition is the 50% off candy.
This year, I stocked up on:
Reese’s eggs (a superior form of the Reese’s universe)
Peanut butter M&M’s
York peppermint patties
Dove dark chocolate sea salt caramels
Zero regrets.
What about you?
Are you team jelly bean? Do you hoard Peeps?
Are you a chocolate bunny connoisseur or a pastel peanut butter egg loyalist?
I love hearing what brings people joy. Especially when it comes in shiny wrappers and nostalgic flavors. Leave a comment or send a note and let me know your go-to spring treat.
Because food can be fun.
Food can be delicious.
And food definitely doesn’t need to be earned.
No Reset Required
You don’t need to start over.
You can just keep going.
Drink your water. Move your body. Eat as you normally would.
Caring for your health doesn’t require perfection—it asks for consistency, curiosity, and compassion.
You don’t have to choose between celebration and wellness.
You can live fully and nourish yourself.
You can rest and move.
You can enjoy and continue forward.
There is no “back on track.”
There’s only your path forward.
