Your big trip is coming right up!  

You have been working hard on your health for months.  Finally you are in a groove with your workouts, your eating has been on point, and your clothes have been fitting better.  Now it is time to go away and….you are scared.

What if…

• I don’t work out while am I vacation
• I overindulge on food and drinks
• I lose all of the progress I worked so hard for
• I come home and I am back at square one
• Or I come home and never get back on track!

Rest assured!  If you are caring for your health when you are at home, going on vacation will not blow it!  AND you will know exactly what you need to do to get back on track.  

Here are some tips to help you while you travel:

1. Get your movement through adventure.  Forget getting your daily dose of crunches and lunges, the whole reason to workout is to be sure our bodies are ready to enjoy life.  Take that fit body for a spin.  Walk your legs off seeing the sights, say yes to activities that will allow you to experience your surroundings like hiking, paddle boarding, or biking, and don’t worry about losing strength and fitness.  You will likely move more than you would at home, even with a big workout.
2. Break up long bouts of air or car travel with movement.  Set an alarm to get up and move every 50 minutes during a flight to stretch.  Make your road trip potty stops into an opportunity to bang out a brisk walk, as well as some squats and lunges to keep your blood moving. 
3. Bring along fresh food when possible.  Pack a lunch for your plane flight, grab an apple off of the breakfast buffet to have as a snack on the fly, keep a stash of single-serving packages of nuts or less-processed energy bars on hand to use in a pinch and avoid getting over-hungry. Grabbing fresh food from the Whole Foods Deli counter is a great way to have a meal on the run while traveling. Make it a picnic!
4. Preview your options at a buffet.  Always do a lap of all options before you begin filling your plate.  Make a point to grab some fresh veggies and a lean protein, then take a small portion if there is some food you absolutely love.  You can always decide to come back for more, but will be less likely to go overboard if you have already eaten the veggies and protein.
5. At restaurants, challenge yourself to fill half of your plate with vegetables.  You can often request double veggies and fewer carbohydrates (as restaurants tend to give 4x the carbs and half the protein and veggies we need). Ask for sauces and dressings on the side so you can add them yourself. 
6. Decide in advance on your trigger foods.  If you can’t resist the bread bowl,  tend to crunch through a pile of chips, or know once you say yes to one bite of dessert you will finish it off in a flash, be mentally prepared.  We often know we will be faced with our biggest temptations while eating out.  Decide in advance if you will have any or not.  Often if we are faced with a guilty pleasure and think “I will just have a bite”, we cave and shamefully overeat, rushing through it and missing the experience entirely.  
7. Allow yourself to have a favorite “treat” food several times during the trip and enjoy the heck out of it.  Make sure it is special and worthy, then slow down.  The first bite you take always packs the most enjoyment.  There is an exponential decrease with each bite that comes next.  Be sure to pay attention to the taste and texture of the food.  It will allow each bite to be more satisfying, and you do not want to miss the experience!

When you are on your trip:

• Remember the reason WHY you are focusing on your health.  
• Focus on your relationships and experiences.  
• Feed and nourish your body with the best available options.  
• Keep clear in your mind the way you want to feel the next day, and make choices that will help ensure that feeling.

When you get home, you can get right back to the habits that were working well for you before you went away.  Likely you will feel a renewed sense of commitment and be ready to be back.  

What if you don’t know what to do to get back on track?

If your current at-home lifestyle:

• Isn’t helping you feel good in your body
• Feels too restrictive
• Feels out of control
• Causes you stress 
• Hasn’t been working
• Is poorly defined and confused by health media

The right at-home approach should – 

• Give you energy
• Lift your mood
• Decrease inflammation
• Decrease bloating
• Make your body feel cared for, not deprived
• Be something you can maintain long-term

In Perimenopause or once we are Post-menopausal, our bodies respond differently to our old health tricks.  AND our risk of osteoporosis, frailty, and cardiovascular disease increases when we aren’t supplying our bodies the care they need.

It is time to write a new manual of self-care.  Here’s how:
