It took me a few years but now I get it.
I want to vacation, relax and FEEL GOOD while doing it.![????????](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/svg/1f483-1f3fc.svg)
And I’ve compiled some simple ways I've learned over the years to have my cake, eat it...and not feel awful afterwards.
Day Before Travel
- 20-30 minutes of aerobic-based movement
- Pack travel snacks (protein and fiber)
- Lay out travel clothes and cosmetics
- Drink 60% of body weght in ounces
- Go to BED!
Day of Travel
- Start day with water and quick movement flow
- Hit protein and fiber-dense breakfast
- Bring water bottle and electrolytes
- Walk at every opportunity
- End day with gentle movement flow
During Trip
- Start day with water and quick movement flow
- Prioritize protein and fiber
- DON'T skip breakfast
- Walk at every opportunity
- End day with gentle movement flow
Additional Notes
Aerobic-based movement = The goal is blood flow and to feel good. So if you can maintain the same pace and breathe consistently for 20-30min you've probably found a good pace, whether you're on a machine or combining movements
Gentle movement flow = Think 5 Sun Salutations or 10 Cat cows with breathing (not a full on 10-minute video)
Travel snacks = Turkey rolls, Greek yogurt, plantain chips, berries, apple + nut butter, high protein bars, whey protein in a baggie, sandwich, veggie sticks + guac, jerky...there are more options that assorted nuts!
Protein + fiber breakfast ideas = Oatmeal + protein powder, super smoothie, Greek yogurt + berries
