The good news is that you can get back into shape gently, without stress or self-flagellation.

1. No sudden movements

The biggest mistake is "that's it from Monday, sports, proper nutrition, no joy."
The body after the holidays is like after a party: it needs care, not shouting.
Start small:

walks

light exercise

stretching
Even 15-20 minutes a day is a victory.

2. Water is your best friend

Holidays = salt, sweets, champagne.
The first thing that really helps is water.
Not detoxes or miracle teas, but plain, clean water.
It gently reactivates the body and restores a feeling of lightness.

3. Eat without punishment

You don't have to "pay" for the holidays with hunger.
Simple:

more vegetables

more protein

less random snacking
And yes, you can keep your favorite foods. Just not every meal 😌

4. Move for pleasure

If you hate the gym, don't go.
Dancing, yoga, skating, swimming, brisk walking—they all count.
Get back into shape faster when movement brings joy, not irritation.

5. Sleep and mood are half the battle

Lack of sleep = excess weight, bad mood, and zero motivation.
Get your sleep schedule back on track, and your body will thank you.
6. The main thing is not to rush
You didn't break down over the holidays.
You simply lived.
Getting into shape isn't a punishment, it's self-care.
Getting back into shape after the holidays isn't about being strict, it's about paying attention to yourself. A little more movement, a little less chaos - and everything will fall into place.
