I LOVE THIS LIST.
and agree with everything.

most of my “get back on tracking” looks like this, actually – although I ALWAYS try to make myself a little personal journal entry of WHY i want to get back on track. Usually it ends up with a list of WHAT I LOVE about being healthy and why I want to reach new fitness goals etc. and every single entry i have a new mantra of sorts. Its def. habit to do this when i feel like im not doing my best/slacking/making excuses.

“Make a big batch of a veggie-filled meal to enjoy all week”

Of all your amazing tips in this post, I’d say this is one I live by when it comes to getting back on track after a big indulgence. I feel soooo much better when I eat “clean” foods jam packed with fruits and veggies – and making a big batch of somethin’ makes it even easier to do throughout the week.

Number two is the sweat-tastic spin class though. LOVE those! And you! xoxo

Hm, after too much indulging…I just take it easy for the next few meals. And then back to normal eats I go!
This is why I like you, Holly. You never turn to extreme methods. You’re so well-balanced all around!

While I disagree in many of the aspects of your no-tox plan, and I think some will infact make you feel worse and encourage worse behavior in the future, I DO agree that sometimes we are a little too intense with “trying” to restore balance and oftentimes it offsets the pendulum even more than before.
I like that you share your stance with everyone but I feel that this “plan” is really only suited for you, and all the more power to you because it works for you!
I find when Ive over-indulged or fell off the wagon eating clean whole foods, sleeping and some long walks really restore me back to where I need to be. Eating clean foods in proper combinations means that my body will not have to work hard on digestion and can focus on anything else that ails me (like a hangover!) and moving the body is always a good idea to get blood flowing!

The one thing I do is make sure I’m getting my workouts in- I don’t mind overindulging and getting a little cushion for the pushin if I’m still getting my fitness in.. I’m a firm believer that the winter is a time when you’re supposed to add an extra layer- it’s cold- doughnuts, chocolate and booze tend to warm you up!

Said like a true health professional.

My favorites were: take 5-minute breaks every hour (LOVE this…never would have thought of it) and FATTEN UP. I am a *huge* believer in fat, fat, and more fat; saturated, poly, mono, I don’t discriminate.

Long story short, this post was PERFECTION, in every sense of the word.
