Here’s how I did it ⬇️

Ok here’s how I did it ⬇️
1️⃣MOVEMENT - I still got movement in, I walked SO much plus I did my usual weight training split. I didn’t try to go for PRs but I focused on my form and muscle engagement.
2️⃣I ate things I knew make my body feel good. For example, breakfast wise I would eat something similar to what I eat regularly at home. I have tracked my food for years so I have a very good understanding of what I need and used my experience to gauge. Prioritizing protein and Whole Foods as much as possible.
3️⃣WATER! I chugged water every chance I got being sure I was getting in adequate amount ~at least 100oz per day
4️⃣not going to lie with this one, Europe’s food quality and standards are much higher than here in the US which I could definitely tell a difference 🙃
5️⃣HAVE A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD. I didn’t over indulge, over restrict, binge or feel guilt with the food. Having a healthy relationship with food to begin with is huge, plus feeling no stress around food is key 🔑
I had another client recently go on vacation to Europe and I guided her through the process and things to prioritize. She had a fabulous time and lost weight when she got back too! 🤭

Going on vacation doesn’t have to mean abandoning your fitness goals. Here’s how to strike the right balance: 1️⃣ **Stay Active**: Incorporate walking, exploring, and even light workouts into your itinerary. Staying mobile contributes to overall calorie burn. 2️⃣ **Mindful Eating**: Focus on foods that make you feel good. Familiar breakfast options can help maintain satiety without straying too far from your regular diet. Understanding your body's needs is crucial, so lean towards whole foods and prioritize protein intake. 3️⃣ **Hydration is Key**: Drink plenty of water—aim for at least 100 ounces daily to stay hydrated, especially in warmer climates. This will help manage hunger levels and improve digestion. 4️⃣ **Quality Over Quantity**: While dining out, especially in places with higher food quality standards, choose meals that satisfy you instead of indulging mindlessly. Enjoying fresh, local cuisine can also enhance your travel experience. 5️⃣ **Positive Relationship with Food**: Avoid the stress of food-related guilt. Focus on balance, enjoyment, and moderation. This mindset allows for a more enjoyable vacation. Maintaining a healthy relationship with food can lead to weight maintenance or even loss during trips! It’s possible to have a fabulous time on vacation without compromising your health goals—just prioritize movement, choose nourishing foods, stay hydrated, and maintain a healthy mindset around food.
