How to Stop Panicking in the School Holidays (Without Losing Your Progress)
In this episode, I talk about how to stop panicking when the kids are off school (hello, Easter holidays) and your usual routine disappears. I explain why it doesn’t have to mean weight gain, chaos, or “going backwards,” and how I personally stay consistent through birthdays, half term and holidays.
I share a no-nonsense approach: accept the routine will change, set new non-negotiables, avoid social media first thing, stay prepared with food, and don’t default to chocolate just because the kids are home. I cover planning indulgences, why hyper-palatable foods make willpower harder, front-loading calories to manage appetite and stress, and getting creative with exercise (gym early, tag-team with your partner, steps, walks, swimming, soft play).
Most importantly, I remind you to hold the standard, remember your “why,” and make the next decision a good one.
