☀️ Summer’s Here (Finally!) — Don’t Let Your Habits Slip By Heather Abbott, Holistic Nutritionist
After a chilly start, warm weather is finally making an appearance in Collingwood — and with it, weekends at the cottage, patio get-togethers, and maybe even a little travel.
But as the social calendar fills up, routines tend to slip. So how do you enjoy the season without losing momentum on your health goals?
Here’s the trick: set standards, not rules. You don’t have to be perfect — just intentional.
🧃 Fuel before the fun Heading to a party? Don’t go hungry. A protein + veggie smoothie can help you feel grounded and skip the chip bowl. 👉 Try my go-to Pre-Party Smoothie
💧 Alternate alcohol with water Electrolytes are your summer secret weapon. Pack them when you travel!
🥗 Prioritize greens + protein Start every meal by asking, “Where are the veggies?” Build your plate from there.
🧳 Travel with your standards 12-hour eating windows, movement breaks, and treating sweets as daytime indulgences all help your body stay balanced — even on the road.
🛌 Protect your sleep 7–9 hours helps with energy, cravings, and mood. It’s always worth it.
🚶♀️ Make movement fun again Paddleboarding, hiking, walking with friends — it all counts. Think socializing in motion.
You don’t need to overhaul your life — just commit to the habits that help you feel your best, even when life speeds up.
Fuel well. Feel strong. Enjoy every minute. — Heather
