4. Keep Busy In Your Free Time
It's easy to let your mind wander to what your next meal will be—or all the desserts and pasta you can't have for the time being. When you're at work or the gym, you're preoccupied with things to do, so it's important to keep yourself busy in your off hours, too.
"For me, it's working on editing or doing anything out of the house, even if it's just to go get coffee," Albonetti says. "It's still going to be hard, but that's to be expected. Just keep your mind occupied where you can and focus on your workouts."
As with life in the off-season, there is still such a thing as having a schedule that's too packed. Rest is key to recovery, which you're already going to be struggling with.
"You have to find a balance because being too busy can raise stress and cortisol," DeCosta says. "This is where self-awareness comes in—know what 'too much' is on your own plate. Replace your sitting time, where thoughts about eating would come, and go for a walk. Have a creative outlet. Spend time with friends."
