Live with No Regrets!

Weight: No Clue...I'm on vacation!

VACATION!!!

When it comes to weight loss vacation is not always the best place to do that. My family and I are at the beach this week on vacation.  I knew being here would be both good and bad for my diet. Good because I would be exercising more and bad because I knew my food choices wouldn't be the best.

When it comes to my diet I have to say I haven't completely fallen off the wagon but close to it. There are not always tons of healthy options here when it comes to food. When we have eaten out I have tried to make kind of healthy choices but then other times I don't have a choice but to eat something that isn't great. What I have been trying to do in that situation is control my portion size. To me if you don't have a choice in the matter of what you eat you do have a choice in how much you eat. I always say everything in moderation. Too much of anything is bad so just control yourself and you will be fine. It's fine to have fun and enjoy a break just don't enjoy it too much or you'll regret it later.

Now when it comes to my exercise things have been going great. The beach is great for the fitness aspect of things.  We are staying within walking distance to the to the beach and boardwalk so we are walking somewhere all the time. And walking through the sand can we great exercise.  I would say we are easily walking 5 miles a day. What I like about it is that I don't even feel like I am exercising yet I am constantly burning calories. Its always nice when you are exercising but you don't even realize it because your having fun doing it! 

At the end of the day I don't know whether I am gaining or losing weight on this vacation but I don't really care because every once in awhile it's okay to let loose and have fun. Just remember to keep it to a minimum and get back on track when you get home. Life is about enjoying yourself but don't do so much of that while on vacation that you have regrets when you get home. Live with no regrets!
