weight loss and vacations

Many of us are planning our summer vacations and if you are in a weight losing mode (if you are not, why are you reading this blog???) then take a step back and think about the type of vacation that may be more conducive for your efforts. For instance , the "All Inclusive Resorts" encourage a drink-a-thon and eat-a-thon mentality....you are paying one price whether you abstain from alcohol or drink until you are dancing the conga line with people who would otherwise scare the daylights out of you. The buffet meals include a dessert bar....you paid for all of this and to not partake would be throwing your money away. Crusie ships are sort of the same concept.

A vacation at a nice resort that offers spa amenities, fine dining (paying ala carte ), swimming, etc may be a better choice. Or perhaps a "touring" vacation where you will need to walk lots to see the sights. Pick a destination or type of vacation that is not based around eating. And if you go to one of my favorite spots, Las Vegas, NO MIRAGE BUFFET!!!
