Vacation Plan

Members Were Sparked

Don't let a vacation keep you from eating healthy and working out. I plan my workouts even while on a cruise recently. I felt so much better knowing my food choices were a little "richer" than normal yet within my healthy guidelines. Another victory for a healthy lifestyle change!

i found this encouraging since i am going on vacation on saturday and am stressing alittle about foods. checked out the website of the hotel and they have a gym so i will use that and where we are staying has a kitchen so i discussed my anxiety with my spouse and he said we can eat in all breakfasts and lunches and maybe just go out for dinner every other nite. this made me feel better. i know i'll probably drink some wine but i am going to try and avoid the frozen bar drinks that taste like a desert. thanks again

Yes, I'm going on a cruise in the middle of my 100-day challenge. It will certainly not keep me from working out.

Disneyland is an exercise vacation

I love going to the Disney theme parks, and I find these to be versions of a vacation planned around "exercise." There is no good way to enjoy the parks without doing as much walking as you would on a walking tour vacation, especially in Florida where the walking is intensified. Throw in some afternoon swimming at the hotel pool, and you need not use that hotel workout room to burn calories!

MORE INFORMATION:
All of the Disney parks now offer healthy options at pretty much every restaurant, so it is fairly simple to get nutritious food that doesn't negate all that activity you'll be getting!

Vacation, Holiday & Time Away Should Be As Routine As Everyday

When going on vacation, we say, "Well I’ll be on vacation, so I really hope I don’t gain too much weight." Why should we expect to? Life happens & it includes all types of scenarios. If we get up each day & plan our day, why should it stop while on vacation or at holiday time? Do we look for reasons to go “off” our plan? That type of thinking gets us in trouble. We need to plan for each day, whether at home or away. There is no reason to fear bad eating when we plan appropriately & stick to it.
