Spring is here and I am sure most of you are formulating your vacation plans for the summer. When you are in a weight losing mode, vacations may throw a bit of a roadblock into your progress. When most of us think "vacation", we picture tall Pina Coladas on the beach, great desserts, fun restaurants etc. Often, people can put on 4 or mor epounds in one week.
Some vacations are more conducive to actually help your weight loss efforts Let me provide some examples of vacations that will "help" and those that won't:
All inclusive resort in Jamaica: WILL NOT help...why??? all inclusive means all the food and booze you can ingest, and price remains the same...human nature? we will not feel that we got our money's worth if we do not eat and drink alot.
European Trip with sight-seeing: WILL help....why??? lots of walkign to activities and the trip is focused on the sightseeing as opposed to sitting lots and eating/drinking
Cruise ship to the Carribean: WILL NOT help...why??? see above for the all-inclusive resort trip...once again..pay one price whether you eat lots or eat little..human nature will take over
Spa resort in Arizona: WILL help....spas are focused on massages, treatments, working out, etc....lots of healthier food choice restaurants there
These are some examples...make your own list and as you plan your vacation, choose the type that will not damage your weight loss efforts..you are working way too hard on your weight loss to backslide lots in one week.
