From 100 MORE Days of Weight Loss, Day 26
Label any trip or vacation as a time for taking care of yourself.
Then plan in lots of activities that will make you stronger and healthier.
Here are my answers to the three questions at the end of the lesson.
1. Create a vacation or reunion plan, even if those times are months away.
I have a family reunion one month from now. Here is my plan for that as well as other vacations and family gatherings this year.
Walk every day for at least 20-30 minutes.
Bring some of my own food. Plan to eat similar to my normal food plan.
Eat only half of food at restaurants as well as half of desserts. Or use the one-inch rule – cut a one-inch piece of any dessert, then eat it slowly and savor it.
2. Decide how you will track your actions during those events. Record your plan.
Take my journal along and record my day’s events including meals as well as exercise.
Ask my sisters for help and support.
Watch what my youngest sister does- she monitors her food intake carefully due to diabetes.
3. Put your plan on a small card or in a memo on your phone so you’ll have it available when you need it.
I wrote it on a 3×5 card and tucked that into my journal so it’s all ready.
I also made a list of foods to take along such as fruit, yogurt and my favorite protein bars.
