Keeping Up With Your Healthy Lifestyle While Traveling.

When traveling for business or pleasure it can be easy to forget about working out or eating healthy. If you slip too much you could end up feeling bad, not just mentally but physically. 

If you are taking your laptop or portable DVD player, don't forget your fitness DVDs.  Keeping with that exercise routine will help you have the energy to have fun and make it through any activities you have planned.   Or find out if your hotel has a Gym, take the opportunity to use equipment you don't have at home. 

Try walking instead of driving everywhere (if destination allows), or make plans to visit a national park or something that will get you moving in area you are visiting.    It is a good way to explore.    Something as simple as walking to a restaurant near your hotel instead of in-room dining can make a difference.  

Allow yourself a splurge day, preferably early in your trip.  Eat/drink whatever you want, do as little as you can, etc... the next day you will probably feel it.    Later on during your vacation when you are considering going overboard remember how bad you felt and stick to what you know is best.  We tend to think of vacations as our time to go crazy but they are infamous for  undoing months of progress.  So limit yourself to one day.
