The Grapevine – Healthy Life Style Tip # 9 with Jill Knapp – 4 Tips for Taking Trips

We are in full swing of summer and hopefully have plans for getting a few more trips in before the end of summer.  Jill has some great tips for us to keep up on our plan to make the change for a healthy lifestyle, even while we’re on vacation.

1-      Eat Healthy. If eating healthy tends to be a pit fall for your vacation.  Plan ahead!  Keep healthy snacks available such as fruit, veggies and nuts.  Also, pay at the pump to avoid the convenient store temptations.  If you are traveling to a hotel you can find out what restaurant options are around the hotel and find their menu online so you can plan to stay healthy.  (More great tips on the call.)

2-      Keep moving! See the sites wherever you are going by foot.  Walk on the beach, go swimming and take advantage of the hotel’s gym if there is one available, a quick 20 minute workout before everyone wakes up will get you metabolism and energy up and ready for a great day. (Jill gives us her trainers advice about exercising morning versus evening….listen in!)

3- Get your rest. Travelling can be exhausting.  Make sure you have enough time for good rest so that you really enjoy your vacation.  Don’t forget your earplugs and eye shades so you’ll be ready for anything.  (More about this on the call.)

4- Relax! You’re on vacation so leave the business calls, emails and the office at home.  It will all be there when you get back.  You owe it to yourself and the people that are surrounding you on this vacation to be present and really connect with them.

These tips will support you in your intention of making a healthy lifestyle change.  It is vacation though, so do treat yourself to dessert at least once J.  As Jill always tells us, moderation in all things…..follow these tips and you won’t need a vacation from your vacation!

Listen below to hear about the great vacation Jill just had that will forever be a trip that changed her life.
