Real results are rarely built in a perfect season of life

Most people believe progress comes from getting everything right

The perfect week
The perfect diet
The perfect workout
The perfect level of motivation

Real results happen in the busy weeks, the stressful weeks, the less than perfect weeks. It happens in the times things didn’t go as planned

Those who succeed long term never fall off track, they stop treating imperfect days as a reason to start over

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s about showing up at your capacity for the day and being consistent long enough for the basics to work

Summer is just a few days away and people are in full swing of making plans to take a vacation

As plans start to take shape it can be tempting to unplug from things including your health and fitness

While taking breaks is so important for your physical and mental health, straying too far from routine can leave you feeling worse when coming back and make it very difficult to pick things back up

Checkout these tips to help you maintain your goals while still enjoying yourself on vacation

☀️Set realistic expectations: Going away is a shift from your normal routine and it may not be “ideal” conditions. Include some non-negotiables like drinking enough water, cooking 1 meal, going for a walk daily or including fruits and veggies. Make these goals small, realistic and attainable

☀️Plan in activities: Consider including activities add movement into your day. This doesn’t mean you need to have a scheduled workout or go to the gym. Ideas include going for a walk on the beach, paddleboarding, or hiking

☀️Bring/buy everyday foods: With vacation often comes more opportunities to go out to eat or stray away from the foods you normally eat. Including things that are typical in your everyday diet while help you hit your goals. Protein and fiber are the biggest sources I would aim to keep consistent. These will help keep you feeling full and reduce overindulgence in other areas

☀️Include a couple of workouts: While I don’t find it necessary to workout every day or go to the gym it can be helpful to maintain some level of routine and fitness. If you do decide you want to workout you can include bodyweight movements, pack resistance bands or find a local gym. Pick a few movements and do a circuit and think about reducing overall workout time

☀️Enjoy in moderation: Vacation often is a time where you will overindulge in things you typically don’t have. Remember you don’t have to have this “all or nothing” mindset. Bring mindfulness to what you are consuming, slow down and truly enjoy what you are having. Consider your goals and ask yourself do I want really want this or am I just having it because it’s here?
