how?
DISCIPLINE!
Nope, I don't have some sneaky new weight loss trick. I'm not recommending a pill.
I'm saying: When you travel, pay attention to what you eat.
I just took a one week trip for work. Before I left, I weighed 172. Today, I weigh 172. This in spite of being out of my weekly food routine.
Yes, a food routine sounds boring -- but it can help you maintain a healthy weight.
I traveled alone, so there was ZERO accountability for what I ate.
No one was watching or encouraging me to be good.
But -- I took note. If I had donuts for breakfast and a larger than usual lunch, I ate a light dinner.
I tried to balance out my "splurges." So yes, I had fun. Yes, I had a big margarita one night. But I also didn't have anything for dessert that night.
Traveling can be a weight gain trap. So, you have to watch it -- you don't want to come back from your trip 5-7 pounds heavier and have to spend extra time working off your vacation -- or, worse, only losing 1-2 pounds and ending your vacation more relaxed but permanently fatter.
Yes, have fun! Indulge! But keep track of what you eat and your weight goals!
