Eat healthy snacks, appetizers like raw veggies so you aren’t drinking on an empty stomach.
5. Incorporate movement into your vacation: Tis may not be the time to go to the gym, but make it a goal to move daily. Try new recreational activities that get you off the
lounge chair and doing something exciting and fun. It will leave you feeling stronger and invigorated. You may love it so much you continue to do it at home. How about some beach badminton, frisbee tossing with your children or dog, hiking and beach walks? Tere is so much to try, depending on where you go.
6. Rest: Go to bed at reasonable hours and don’t over sleep. Of course you will want to sleep in and take naps as part of your relaxing getaway. Try not to get too off track with your sleep schedule as it will make it harder to adjust when you get home.
7. Get support: Talk to your family and friends and let them know you will have more fun if you are making healthy choices and feeling your best while away.
8. When you splurge: It is fine to have an occasional treat, however the treat does not open the door to full days/nights of treat. If you choose to have a treat, enjoy it and eat healthy at the next meal
9. Stick to food sensitivity needs:
It is no fun to have digestive or other health issues on vacation and feeling like you have to be near the clos- est bathroom at all times.
10. Post-vacation: Plan to get home a day or two before you actually have to get back to work or school. You will be extremely grateful to have the extra time to get back into your home routine, shop and plan for the re-entry week ahead. It will also be valuable in resetting your sleep schedule! So many people over do it on vacation with the “I’m
on vacation, so what the heck” mentality only to pay for it later. Vacation is a time to rest, re-energize, and de-stress. Overeating, eating foods and drinks that don’t agree with you, and late night partying will actu- ally take away from your vacation experience. Plan to make this an awesome getaway, leaving you refreshed, energized and happy.
