Do you have a trip planned and are worried how to navigate it while still keeping your health in mind? Let me start by saying that taking some time to relax and recharge can be very helpful for your overall wellbeing. These trips are a small proportion of your year! If you’re worried about strength and muscle, you would not lose any within a week or two weeks.
How to navigate traveling and not feel guilty about losing progress:
- Set up for success when you return. Prep extra meals like chili or lean proteins and freeze meals so you can some healthy options when you come home.
- Pack healthy snacks like Just Ingredients protein powder, Chomps beef sticks, Barbell or GoMacro protein bars to be able to bridge the gap of hitting your protein goal if you’re low at the end of the day.
- Utilize the pick and choose method. Choose what are the non-negotiables and what foods you really want to enjoy. Don’t feel like you need to eat it just because it’s there! Allow yourself to enjoy your favorite things and then maybe make a healthier trade off for the other things that you don’t care as much about.
- Get some walking in first thing to get some movement in and aide in digestion
- If possible, cook some meals at home with a protein, complex carb and veggie or fruit.
- Afterwards don’t restrict food before/after vacation to save calories or overcompensate with a hard workout. Just get back into your routine!
Most importantly, focus on creating memories & enjoy your vacation. Balance and consistency beats perfection every time!
