Hello you guys. Welcome back to another episode of the Hawkgirl Energy Podcast.
0:17
I'm your host, Kaylee, and this is your weekly reminder that it's a
0:20
new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day for
0:23
you to become the hawk grow energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:28
Happy Tuesday. I am officially back home from Italy. Can finally tell
0:35
you guys that we are getting married in Italy. Finally. I'm so excited
0:39
to share the news with you guys. I am definitely happy to be home.
0:44
I think it's been a very crazy past few weeks. As you guys
0:49
know, I had my engagement party the second week of September, and then
0:53
literally two days after our engagement party, we flew to Italy and we were
0:56
in Italy for the past two weeks. So I am definitely exhausted, and
1:02
if you guys can tell my voice, I am a little sick. Unfortunately.
1:04
I think it's finally hitting me after just being on the go for like,
1:11
honestly the whole month of September. Realistically, because when you're planning any
1:15
kind of event, when it's related to bridal stuff or an event for your
1:19
birthday or anything like that I feel like things are always very stressful, and
1:23
especially anything related to like bride stuff. If you guys have ever been a
1:27
bride or you're currently a bride to be, you guys know that planning any
1:32
kind of event, especially for weddings and all that can be extremely stressful in
1:36
a lot of work. And I think it's just finally hitting me now where
1:40
it's like you need to relax and you need to just jill for a bit.
1:44
So I'm, yeah, trying to stay low for the next two days,
1:48
just until I feel one hundred percent. But yeah, so that's that.
1:53
I'm officially home, and I want to give you guys a bit of
1:56
a recap on our trip, just because why not tell you guys a little
2:00
inside scoop of everything that went down. So essentially, we flew from Montreal
2:07
to Milan, so that was our main location for the beginning of the trip,
2:14
and then from Milan we rented a car and we drove to Verona.
2:17
So Verona was the first spot for us to go seem sorry a wedding venue,
2:22
and it was really really beautiful. I think the reason why I had
2:24
such a hard time, like being obsessed with it was the weather that day
2:30
it was downpouring and it was super gloomy and all that. So I think
2:35
that played a factor because obviously when it's not bright and sunny out, I
2:38
feel like it's kind of hard to like picture your wedding there, if that
2:43
makes sense. So I did like it. It is beautiful, but I
2:46
just think the weather played an impact in our visit. So I'm china not
2:50
make that part of our decision when we're picking these venues out, is like,
2:53
don't look at the weather, just look at the space. Imagine your
2:57
wedding there and all that. So yeah, Brona was the first spot,
3:00
and then we were able to have a day of doing tourist things in Brona.
3:05
So if you guys didn't know, Romeo and Juliet's actually based in Brona.
3:07
So we went to go see the balcony. What else did we do,
3:13
I don't know, just like a bunch of little tourist things. So
3:15
then the day after that we drove to Tescany to go see our next wedding
3:21
venue. So it was four hours there, four hours back, so was
3:23
in total it was an eight hour trip. It was literally the longest day
3:27
and it was so disappointing, guys, Like we were not happy with the
3:32
venue at all, and I think that just made us like so upset driving
3:38
all that way for something that we were just so disappointed to see. It
3:42
was so misleading on Instagram and so misleading on their website. Like that's the
3:46
scary thing about these venues is that you like it's sometimes you can make decisions
3:53
off social media, but sometimes you can't, Like sometimes you would want to
3:55
go see the things in person. And this venue that we saw in Tescany
4:00
was just nothing what we pictured at all. And yeah, so it definitely
4:02
was not worth our drive there, which sucked. But we went to Lake
4:08
Como as well, and we also hit up Rome. And I'm going to
4:11
give you guys a backstory on Rome and what happened there because that was not
4:15
part of our trip at all, but I'll get into it. But yeah,
4:18
we ended up going to Lake Como after Verona, So we ended up
4:24
where did we go? I think we drove the car back to Milan from
4:27
Verona and then we took oh no, sorry, we drove the car Verona
4:33
to Milan and we stayed in Milan for the weekend. Sorry, So we
4:35
were in Milan for the weekend. Again, we didn't know venue touring at
4:39
all. We just were tourists in Milan, which was super fun. So
4:42
we went to the church, we went to the Gallery, which is like
4:46
the big shopping area, like, we did so much there, and then
4:49
we left on the Monday from Milan to lake Como, so we drove another
4:57
car there. So lake Como was absolute beautiful, Like I have no words
5:00
for that place. I was completely speechless. Everything about it is just absolutely
5:05
beautiful. The wedding gun us were sending as well. However, I will
5:09
say I think there's one thing that's kind of pushing me away from the venues
5:14
in lake Como is that I feel like everybody's getting married there, like not
5:17
everybody, like not saying everybody, Like everybody who is planning a wedding in
5:21
Italy is getting married in lake Como like nowhere else in Italy. So I
5:27
just have this feeling where I'm like, I don't know if I want to
5:29
do what everybody else is doing, who is planning to get married in Italy,
5:32
Like I kind of want to be different because I feel like everyone just
5:35
assumes, okay, well, if you're going to Italy, you're realistically getting
5:38
married in Lake Como, you know what I mean. So I don't know.
5:40
I'm not trying to make that part of my decision. But at the
5:44
same time, I kind of want to be unique and different. But at
5:46
the end of the day, it is your wedding day. You want it
5:47
to be special. You want to make sure it's everything you dreamed of,
5:50
blah blah blah. Right, so we shall see. But there was a
5:54
lot of rules that we were not anticipating when we got there. So in
6:00
certain areas of like home where they have certain like rules and regulations that you
6:03
cannot do, obviously, and one of them was you cannot play music outside
6:09
pass eight pm. Like, if I'm paying all this money for my wedding
6:14
and you're telling me by eight pm that is my curfew, I have to
6:16
go inside and continue the party inside, and then you have to stop the
6:19
music at a hard eleven pm. Like to me, that's not worth it
6:23
at all. Like, if I'm paying all this money, I want to
6:25
be able to party at least till like midnight outside, or at least till
6:29
eleven pm, you know what I mean. Like, typical weddings are eleven
6:31
PM. Like here in Ottawa and a lot of other locations in like Verona
6:35
and the other ones we saw in Tesk and me all that it was like
6:40
eleven pm. Like eleven pm to me is very realistic, but eight pm
6:43
just seemed very early to me. And it's just because obviously there's like residential
6:48
homes in the area and all that. So that was super disappointing because I
6:53
really did love one of them, and I know I loved two of them.
6:57
Two of them had the same policy where you can't play music out side
7:00
past eight pm. And don't get me wrong, I have nothing like I
7:02
have nothing against going inside at eight pm to continue dancing and all that,
7:06
but some of the plan be options of being inside wasn't the greatest, Like
7:13
it wasn't that nice. One of them was a full on cave, like
7:15
a full on rave cave, like kind of sounds fun, but at the
7:18
same time, like at eight pm, I'm not going to be down for
7:20
a rave cave. If you want to put me in there at eleven pm,
7:24
sure, I'll probably want to dance the night away in a cave,
7:27
but not at a PM, and also not on your wedding, like I
7:29
don't want to be in a cave on my wedding day. So that was
7:31
kind of disappointing about some of the Lake Como locations that we went to,
7:35
But again, there was another one that we really really loved that I'm not
7:38
going to totally remove from our list. But yeah, all in all,
7:43
like you need to go to Lake Como just to go visit. It is
7:46
absolutely spectacular the lake, Like the color of the lake is like this beautiful
7:50
blue color. The mountains are just insane. Yeah, and some of you
7:55
guys actually live there. I could not believe how many of you lived in
7:59
the Lake Como area and how many guys were messaging me and all that,
8:01
so that was really cool to see. And just other parts of Italy like
8:05
being in Verona, being in Rome, like Milan, Like every time I
8:07
was in a new city, you guys would message me saying, oh my
8:11
goodness, I live here, like you should do this or that. Like
8:13
you guys gave me so many recommendations and all that, so I appreciate that
8:16
so much. And yeah, I didn't realize how many of you were actually
8:20
based in Italy, so that was super cool. But anyways, so I'm
8:24
just gonna give you a bit of a recap in terms of the hiccup that
8:26
happened in our trip. So basically, we were supposed to fly home from
8:30
Milan to Montreal and we got a notification on our phones the day before we
8:39
left, when we were in Lake Homo saying that our flight was canceled.
8:43
So Zach and I were like, okay, Like we were kind of like,
8:46
okay, we're not mad about it, like we'll extend a trip,
8:48
that's fine. But at the same time, we're like, we need a
8:50
flight home. So we call the airline and they said, yeah, we
8:54
could fly you home from Milan in two days, but it's going to be
8:58
a nineteen hour travel day. When Zach and I paid for a direct flight,
9:01
so I was all up sex, I'm like, I don't want to,
9:05
you know, op for this nineteen hour travel day when we paid extra
9:09
money to get a direct flight home. So they said the only direct flight
9:11
home that's closest to you would be Rome and again it would be two days
9:16
later. So Zach and I were like, friget, let's go to Rome.
9:18
I've already been to Rome. I love Rome, but Zach has never
9:20
been. So Zach was like, oh, my god, yeah, let's
9:22
do it. So we changed your flights at no costs whatever. We then
9:28
realize that Ryder Cup is the same weekend of the weekend that we're going on.
9:33
And if you guys don't know what Ryder Cup is, ask your husband,
9:37
ask your boyfriend, ask your brother, ask your dad. I'm sure
9:39
they know what it is. It's essentially this huge golf tournament for Americans and
9:43
European golf players. And Zach was fully on board. He's like, Okay,
9:48
let's find tickets, let's go to it. All this I'm like,
9:50
oh my goodness, I really don't want to go to this, but I
9:52
will do it for him, obviously, But because we were literally leaving so
9:56
last minute, the tickets were already sold out. But the reason why I'm
10:00
bringing this into the equation is that there was no available hotels. Like I'm
10:05
talking, not one single hotel was available, not a single airbnb. Every
10:09
hotel that was available, the average price was around two thousand euros a night,
10:15
which is absurd, especially in Canadian conversion dollars, like that's easily twenty
10:18
eight hundred dollars Canadian a night, which is just to me. I'm like,
10:22
I am not paying that for this last minute trip that we're doing,
10:26
right, So we felt super disappointed. We didn't know what to do.
10:28
We were like, do we call Air Canada back and see if we can
10:31
fly out of a different city like Paris or something like that. So anyways,
10:35
we basically kept refreshing Expedia, which is where you could get hotels,
10:39
like for probably six hours, even at dinner We're supposed to have a nice
10:43
romantic dinner in lake Home when we're like refreshing our pages just to see if
10:48
we can find a hotel because we were literally leaving the next day to go
10:50
to Rome. So we ended up finding a hotel. It was super expensive
10:54
still, but you know what, we didn't care at that point where like,
10:56
you know what, we need something. It was more of a realistic
10:58
price point that we felt was fine to pay. And you know what,
11:01
we made the best out of the shitty situation in terms of just the stress
11:07
of like trying to rebook our flights home and trying to find a hotel and
11:09
all that, and we had the best time in Rome. We literally were
11:13
just tourists doing all these fun things. We had no wedding venues that we
11:16
really saw We saw one in Rome last minutely just because we thought why not.
11:22
It was one of the ones I originally sent in when I was first
11:24
looking for our wedding venues, so it was super beautiful. But yeah,
11:30
it was a super fun last minute thing that we were not expecting to do
11:33
at all, And like I said, we made the most out of the
11:35
shitty situation and had super fun on our trips. So that's what we did.
11:39
We looked at a total of seven venues while we were in Italy.
11:43
They were all so beautiful. We were able to meet some of our planners
11:46
as well, which was super nice. And yeah, now that we're home,
11:50
we're going to be meeting with them over Zoom, hopefully on Thursday,
11:54
just to go over all the venues that we went to go see. So
11:58
that's a little update on our side for wedding planning and all that. But
12:01
I'm super excited to get more into wedding content, hopefully within these next few
12:05
months. The goal is to book a date for next summer or September October
12:11
area, so I will keep you guys posted on when we secure a date.
12:15
But yeah, that's kind of what happened these past few weeks. And
12:18
so now that I'm home and I'm feeling a little sick, but I'm still
12:24
wanting to get back into my healthy routine and just get back into things,
12:30
especially going into a new month of being in October. I'm just really motivated
12:33
to really start this new month off fresh. I thought it'd be a good
12:37
opportunity to make this episode just about getting back on track. So I'm going
12:43
to share with you guys how I plan to get back on track this month
12:46
and everything I'm doing just to feel my best self. So, as I
12:50
said, September was obviously extremely busy month for me, I honestly haven't had
12:54
a good workout routine now for probably a month. Like I've been probably working
13:00
out maybe once a week for the past three weeks. I was able to
13:03
get one workout in on our trip Storry two workouts on our trip, I
13:07
did one once a week, and then I came home, I did a
13:11
workout, and then the next day I woke up and I started to feel
13:13
sick. So I have not been working out these past few days just because,
13:18
as I said, I'm sick and I don't want to force my body
13:22
to do a workout when i'm not feeling one hundred percent because obviously I'm not
13:26
going to get better if I don't relax and I don't, you know,
13:30
just calm my body down. So I'm trying to give myself a bit of
13:33
a break. But I'm going to share some things that I've already done right
13:35
now so far since I've been home, and things that I am planning to
13:39
do these next few days, hopefully as I started to feel a bit better
13:43
in terms of a workout routine and all that. The guess. So I'm
13:46
gonna share with you guys, just some tips on how I'm going to get
13:48
back on track this month. Okay, So the first thing you're going to
13:52
do after a trip, this for me is a non negotiable every single time
13:56
I come home, and that is unpack as soon as you can. We
14:00
got home Sunday and Monday morning is when I unpacked, just because Sunday night
14:05
I wasn't going to do it like I was exhausted from a travel day.
14:07
So if you can at least do it the following day after your travels,
14:11
that is going to make you feel so so much better at being home.
14:13
It's also going to spike some motivation right there. To maybe get some cleaning
14:18
done around your house. Yeah, I don't know. I just feel like
14:20
as soon as I unpack, I get my motivation back to do other things
14:24
that I have to get done. And I feel like, if you just
14:28
leave your suitcase in your bedroom for the week, you're going to feel like
14:31
you're in a rut and you're gonna feel like there's something up and realisticates because
14:35
you haven't unpacked, and you haven't like organized your ship, and you haven't
14:37
gotten your ship together. Like that's just the reality. So I personally find
14:41
literally completely unpacking your suit case, putting all your toilet trees back, putting
14:46
all your stuff that's dirty in the laundry, all that it will feel so
14:50
so good and it will literally boost your mood so much. So that was
14:54
the first thing that Zach and I boat that I made Zach do it too,
14:56
because I knew he wasn't going to do it, so I said,
14:58
if I'm doing you're doing it. So he unpacked as well, he organized
15:03
all the clothes that he had to wash as well, so I was so
15:05
proud of him. But yeah, that's definitely something you need to do.
15:07
I feel like as soon as you get home, because you're definitely not going
15:11
to want to do it if you keep dreading it and just leaving it in
15:15
the corner of your room for a week. So make this your first priority
15:18
when you get home. The next thing you're gonna do is you're going to
15:20
clean out your fridge and you're going to re stalk it. The first thing
15:24
we did after unpacking is we went through our fridge and we threw out everything
15:28
that went bad. And it's almost like a little reset as well. Right,
15:31
You're able to just completely reset your fridge and figure out all the things
15:35
you need, all the new things you want, all that. So one
15:39
thing I did is I wrote out a bunch of healthy dinner recipes that I
15:43
wanted to have for the week. Obviously, Zach and I were eating a
15:48
lot of pasta and pizza while we were in Italy, and it was amazing.
15:52
Everything about it was so good, all the wine, all the appril
15:56
sprits like I bully treated myself literally had gelato every single night. But coming
16:00
home, I really want to obviously get back into a healthy eating routine because
16:04
I know when I'm eating healthy, that's when I feel my best. So
16:08
I wrote down a bunch of recipes that I want to have this week,
16:12
a lot of simple ones, a lot of ones that just we have all
16:15
the time. And one thing I've been craving since I've been home is soup,
16:21
because obviously we're in fall, but in Italy it was not fall.
16:25
It was not giving fall at all. It was giving literally summer. The
16:27
weather was beautiful every single day, except when we were in Verona it was
16:32
raining a bit, but it was so hot. I did not pack very
16:37
well at all. I will say that I packed a little cardigans, a
16:41
lot of like Maxi skirts all that, and I was so hot, Like
16:45
I was not prepared at all for that kind of weather. And then I
16:48
came home and it's crisp mornings here. The leaves on the trees have completely
16:52
changed, the leaves around the ground, like it's totally giving fall. And
16:56
I'm like, I need to switch my mindset back to fall mode because I'm
17:00
clearly in summer mode being in Italy. But now that I'm home, I
17:03
am just craving soup. I'm excited to get back into my fall mood.
17:07
But yeah, definitely soups is what I've been craving. So we have tomato
17:11
soup on the list this week, as well as chicken noodle soup, so
17:15
I'll make sure to try and post those on TikTok and I'll share the recipe.
17:18
But yeah, I've been craving soup so much since I've been home,
17:22
so that was one thing I had to make sure I got all the ingredients
17:25
for at the grocery store. So yeah, Zach and I we went to
17:26
the grocery store. We picked up all the groceries that we needed for the
17:30
week and just stocked up on all the things that went bad in the fridge
17:33
and all that through everything out and it felt really really good just to reset
17:37
the fridge and get new groceries and all that and get back into our healthy
17:41
eating routine. So then after planning out your fridge, the next thing I
17:45
always like to do is I like to plan out my weekly schedule. You
17:49
guys know, I'm a big planner when it comes to writing things out and
17:52
just knowing everything that I have to get done for work for the week,
17:56
workout schedule, all that. So I recently actually just out a new planner,
18:00
which made it even more motivating to write some stuff in it. But
18:03
I wrote out all my content that I have to get done this week for
18:07
work, all the ads I have to film, all the editing I have
18:11
to get done, and then I wrote out everything that I personally have to
18:15
get done for the week for myself, and then obviously just putting in days
18:19
that I want to prioritize time for myself and get a workout in and just
18:26
yeah, sweat out everything that I ate in Italy. I also love to
18:30
schedule out my workout routines based off of like cardio days, walking days,
18:36
you know, low impact workouts all that. So that's how I like to
18:40
break down my workout schedule, which I'm going to get into the next point,
18:42
which is getting back into a workout routine. I personally always like to
18:48
start easy, meaning I don't like to jump into a super hard workout.
18:52
I will usually just stick to a twenty minute body weight workout or a light
18:56
weighted workout. Body weight just means no work like dumbbells, just strictly your
19:03
body weight or as I said, I was just using like lightweight dumbbells.
19:07
So that's tificitely what I do. I usually start super easy. I just
19:10
do a twenty minute workout, maybe a fifteen minute workout. I don't want
19:14
to push my body too much or else I'm going to potentially hurt myself risk
19:18
of injury, you know what I means. So I try and do a
19:22
super easy schedule for the first week. Specifically, I might just do maybe
19:26
three days a week instead of my typical five days a week. One thing
19:30
that I also love, as you guys know, is spinning. So I
19:33
love doing a cardio class probably twice a week, and I am probably going
19:37
to attempt my first spin class on Thursday or Friday, and I think it's
19:44
going to be the hardest thing I will ever do because I have not done
19:48
a spin class in almost a month, and I think my cardio is just
19:52
going to Yeah, I don't know. I just think it's going to be
19:56
the most difficult class to do. I'm excited for it, to be honest,
19:59
but at the same time, I know I'm gonna like, it's gonna
20:02
feel so good after doing it, but I'm gonna hate the first like ten
20:04
minutes, gonna be like I'm literally dying, like why did I do this
20:07
to myself? But after the fact, it's gonna feel so good. And
20:10
it's literally just the first class. It's always the toughest, right the first
20:12
class. Getting back into it is always the hardest, and then once I
20:17
get to my second spin class, it will be no problem. So yeah,
20:21
stay tuned for that. I'm going to film it for TikTok just because
20:22
I think it'll be funny to see how difficult it actually will be. But
20:27
yeah, not doing cardio for a month is definitely going to be hard,
20:32
but I'm very excited to get that good sweating. There's no better feeling than
20:37
the sweat you get from a spin class. You guys need to book a
20:41
spin class. I'm telling you right now. If you guys are from Ottawa,
20:44
I have a discount code with Spinco. It's Kaylee fifteen. It gives
20:47
you guys fifteen percent off your Spinco class I think up to five classes.
20:52
So if you guys want to try that out, my code is Kaylee fifteen.
20:56
I just thought I would highlight that just because you guys know how much
20:57
I love spinning. But yeah, it's gonna be difficult, but I'm definitely
21:02
excited to get back into it. Okay, another thing I like to do
21:04
is get back into my supplements. I find it super hard to stay on
21:10
track with taking my vitamins, taking my collagen all that. It's not something
21:15
I typically pack either. I don't bring my vitamins or my collagen with me.
21:18
However, what I do bring with me is my electrolytes and my ag
21:23
one, which you guys know I talk about ag one all the time.
21:26
It's my green supplement that I take every single morning. It has a prebiotic
21:32
as a probiotic, and what I love about it is that it has travel
21:34
packs, so I was able to take I think I took ten travel packs
21:40
with me on my trip, and I think I used eight of them,
21:41
so I almost had one every single day. And I personally just love the
21:45
way it makes me feel, and I just thought it was super beneficial to
21:48
bring on this trip, especially because obviously I'm eating foods that I don't typically
21:52
eat. I am not a dairy girl, and I had dairy every single
21:56
day just because ordering a cappuccino, ordering pizza all that. Obviously it's all
22:00
dairy foods. And the first few days my stomach was feeling a little out
22:06
of whack, but it did start to get better. I think just from
22:10
getting used to consuming it, I can consume dairy it's just personally, like
22:14
my own choice. I prefer to have lactose free just personally because it makes
22:18
me feel better. So definitely was a bit of adjustment the first few days,
22:22
but I definitely felt better after just consuming it for the past few days
22:26
in the beginning of the trip. But I did take athletic greens to help
22:30
with bloating as well, and I definitely found that it made a really big
22:33
difference as well. So that was something that I brought on my trip that
22:36
was super beneficial and easy to bring. And then my electrolytes. I personally
22:41
love taking those. I use the brand Organica. They have this lemonade flavored
22:45
which is so good, and I would say after lunch, Zach and I
22:49
would just put it in our water bottle and we would drink it, just
22:52
because we were really bad at staying hydrated this trip. And I'm going to
22:56
talk about what I'm doing this week to help with getting back contract with my
23:00
water intake. But we were not the greatest unfortunately, so we really needed
23:04
the electrolytes just to obviously help with our hydration and just help with our energy
23:10
levels as well. I felt like our energy wasn't that great just because we
23:15
were walking around so much and the heat and just obviously being so go go
23:18
in the city. Like this trip was not a relaxing trip at all,
23:23
just because obviously we were going to see wedding venues we were walking around all
23:27
day. And also just a trip in Italy in general, or just a
23:30
trip in Europe, you want to see the tourist attractions and all that.
23:33
You're not just sitting on a beach doing nothing right, So it's definitely a
23:37
different type of vacation, but I do love like doing those different things,
23:41
like those are my favorite types of trips. It's just we were getting tired
23:45
pretty easily, so the electrolytes were super handy to have. So those are
23:48
the two different types of supplements that we brought on our trip. So two
23:52
things that I'm going to be getting back into is my vitamin intake as well
23:56
as my collagen supplement. I have a drawer in my kitchen that's dedicated to
24:02
all my supplements. So personally, for me, how I find it easy
24:04
for me to get back into taking my supplements is just having it all in
24:08
one spot. That way, it's super easy for me just to grab everything
24:11
I need for the morning and take I feel like it was all buried in
24:15
my pantry. I would almost forget where it is, and I just find
24:19
having it in one spot and knowing where it is and having it all organized
24:22
and all that makes it more motivating to get back into it, if that
24:26
makes sense. So this next one is staying hydrated. You guys know,
24:30
as I just said, I sucked at drinking water on the trip. I'm
24:34
not gonna lie. We just weren't very good at it. We would buy
24:37
a water bottle every single morning, but it was just like a typical water
24:41
bottle size, and then as soon as we would finish it, sometimes it
24:44
would be hard to find water fountains. We would always ask for a glass
24:48
of water at lunch and dinner, but you guys know, like it's a
24:49
typical eight ounce glass, it's not a lot of water. And I'm pretty
24:52
sure I consumed probably more Apperall than I did water. I'm not even getting
24:57
the Apperall's there were so good, and Zach and I would usually get a
25:00
bottle of white wine every single night as well, just because that's our favorite.
25:04
So, you know, I was on vacation, I was having a
25:07
time again. I was trying to focus on some healthy things that I could
25:11
incorporate into my every day. But you know, obviously water was an important
25:18
thing for me, but I just had a hard time getting it, to
25:22
be honest, So we tried our best. We had electrolytes to help us,
25:25
say hydrated and all that. But this week specifically, I'm definitely trying
25:27
to get caught up on my water intake. So I have just been filling
25:33
it my water bottle as much as I can, drinking as much as I
25:37
can, and obviously now being a little sick as well, I'm trying to
25:40
make drinking water a huge priority as well. So just trying to get back
25:45
into it. The first week is always hard, I will say, the
25:48
first week is always hard getting back into routine after being off for a few
25:52
weeks. It's never easy. But I do find this second week is much
25:56
easier. So just slowly getting back into things I think is really important.
26:00
I think just not doing anything's not going to help at all. So as
26:03
I said, like slowly incorporating workouts, slowly incorporating your water intake, all
26:10
that, just trying to incorporate these little things that will make you feel your
26:12
best. I'm telling you right now, the second week will feel so much
26:17
easier, so much better, and you'll feel so much more motivated. So
26:21
that's what I'm personally doing this week, as my first week is just slowly
26:25
trying to get back into things like my water intake. Okay, so the
26:29
last one that I think is honestly super crucial and I need to take my
26:33
own advice on this one is take some time off. I feel like it's
26:38
so important just to take a few days, especially after vacation, just to
26:42
relax and not book anything in your calendar, force yourself to relax and enjoy
26:47
your time at home, reset, just catch upon sleep. I think sleep
26:52
is a huge thing as well, especially with me with the time difference.
26:56
I'm going back six hours right so in Europe right now, it would be
27:00
close to dinner time and it's literally ten o'clock in the morning. So yeah,
27:07
it just shows that you really need to catch up on your sleep,
27:11
really force yourself to relax and just yeah, not have anything planned for the
27:15
next few days because you just want to get back into your routine, being
27:19
at home, resetting your space all that, because being on the go NonStop
27:25
is obviously exhausting and that's what we were experiencing these past three weeks. And
27:30
as I said, now I'm sick, right, so my body's telling me
27:33
you need to relax, you need to reset, and just take the time
27:37
off for the next few days and then eventually get back into it. So
27:41
that's what I'm trying to do. I'm really trying to listen to my body,
27:44
and I'm just trying not to be too strict on myself, but I'm
27:48
really trying to enjoy the break, being at home, slowly trying to get
27:51
back into things, incorporating my healthy habits that I usually do. I'm hoping
27:55
to gradually get back into a workout tomorrow morning and again just try something super
28:00
easy, like a twenty minute class, nothing crazy. So that's all the
28:04
steps that I'm personally taking for these next few days and just being back at
28:10
home. If you're someone who just got back from vacation, or if you're
28:12
someone who hasn't had a routine for the past few weeks or the past few
28:18
months, I feel like this episode could be super helpful for you to get
28:21
back on track. And also, as I said, going into October,
28:25
it's a new month, it should feel super motivating for you to really get
28:30
back into these healthy habits that you want to do for yourself or get back
28:33
into anything like that. So yeah, so I hope you guys enjoyed this
28:37
episode. I am definitely going to take a lot of these tips for myself,
28:41
and a lot of these tips I've already done for myself as well.
28:44
But as I said, if this is something that you can do for yourself
28:47
to get back into your routine, I highly highly recommend following these steps.
28:52
