11. Get moving
Although it’s good for your heart, exercise alone isn’t usually enough to shift the pounds. However, the combination of regular physical activity with changes to your diet has been found to be more effective than diet alone. As well as the extra energy you will be using, making an effort to be more active on a regular basis can help you to stay on track as well as having positive effects on your mental health which could motivate you to keep up the good work.
12. Even if you can’t change everything, change the things you can
When you’re back to normal life after a break, things quickly become busy again – which can mean that despite your best intentions, healthy eating and being active end up taking a back seat. Avoid this by focusing on the quick wins and the things you can control, and make a fresh start.
