Fit for Life: Vacation Recovery Plan

So, you went away, enjoyed some rest and relaxation time, and now you’re back.

You ate, you drank, you sun worshiped, and then you ate some more.

Now it’s time to face the music.

As you wake up on Monday morning after your week of less-than-healthy eating… your body is puffy and bloated.

Your joints are achy.

Your clothes feel tight.

Maybe you are feeling that way right now.

 

Here are 5 steps to recovering from your vacation and getting back on track with your fitness goals:

 

Step One: Focus

Your vacation happened.

You ate things from the “never eat these” list, you drank more that you should have…but now it’s over.

Draw a line in the sand.

You are back home so the bad eating stops now!!

If you’re serious about your fitness goals, then your vacation was the exception, and not the rule.

Don’t beat yourself up for letting loose on your trip.

Simply get back up, dust yourself off and get focused.

 

Step Two: Hydrate

While travel days can take on many forms, the end result is most often dehydration and water retention.

The only way to restore your balance is to get hydrated.

Your first priority in getting back on track is to drink plenty of water throughout your first few days home.

Start with a tall glass of water in the morning and carry a water bottle with you to sip throughout the day.

To help your body hydrate faster, and enhance the taste of your water, add a scoop of Tru Lean “Everyday Fit”.

It will help your cells absorb water faster and help keep you hydrated throughout the day!!

Step Three: Cleanse

For your first few days home I need you to be extra picky about what you eat.

Stick with only whole, real foods like fruits, vegetables and lean meats.

Whole, real foods will help to restore balance and block out cravings.

Don’t eat any packaged foods for the next few days.

This means no snack foods, processed meat slices, dairy, baked goods or alcohol.

Raid a neighbor’s garden for delicious local produce if available!!

 

Step Four: Rest

As relaxing as vacation days are, most end with the feeling of exhaustion.

Make catching up on sleep a priority over the next few days.

When your body is low on sleep, it becomes easier to make poor eating choices.

You’re also less likely to get back into your workouts if you don’t give your body a chance to rest.

Aim for getting a full 8 hours of sleep each night.

 

Step Five: Exercise

It’s time to sweat out all those vacation indulgences.

So, lace up your athletic shoes and put on your favorite gym clothes.

When you start your first workout, ease in slowly.

Take the time to warm up and stretch your muscles before powering up to a solid 30-minute routine.
