 A problem that we can run into is making good habits stick when we are on vacation. How do I keep moving forward in my health goals when I am in a different environment? What is the best way to plan for relaxation but not slide into old patterns?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide the healthy choices that you will make, ahead of time, while you are at home. Decision fatigue is a real thing especially when social pressure is added in. Set yourself up for success.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what I have learned in my process of starting and keeping healthy habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparation is Everything!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are actual things that I have done on real-life trips with young kids and by myself. If you are determined, you can find a way to exercise on trips. Preparation is everything! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the planning process is to make time and space for exercise \u2013 just like stopping for dinner or sleeping at night.  We all plan vacations thinking about lunch and dinner stops.  Why can\u2019t exercise be planned as well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before our long RV trip last October, I looked at the campsite maps ahead of time. I knew where the walking paths were. By the time we got there, I was really excited. I wanted to try walking those areas so I made space in my schedule.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
