At some point during your weight loss journey...you'll have to pass the ultimate test...taking a vacation.
It is ideal if the places you stay have a kitchen...but remember this is a vacation and you don't want to spend it cooking. So, you can either bring with you some of your favorite quick snacks and foods, or purchase them when you get to your destination.
Don't quit exercising just because you are on vacation either. But, since it is a vacation...you can make your exercise fun and experience new kinds of exercise. A couple of examples: You can go hiking; bike riding; swimming; golfing; skiing...the outdoor opportunities are endless!
If the place you are staying has a DVD player (or if you have a small portable one, bring it with you)... take along a couple of your favorite DVD workouts. This will allow you to sneak in a couple of workouts in your room if other forms of exercise are not available. Of course, many hotels and resorts have gyms, and some even offer classes such as water aerobics that you can sign up for (it's a great way to meet new people too).
Remember to pack your favorite snacks. When on a road trip...nothing makes a road trip a bit more bearable than food! Chances are the family will want to go through a drive-thru from time to time. The smell of burgers and fries can be overwhelming in a small enclosed car. So, if you have a special snack/meal that is "car friendly"...pack it so you don't feel so deprived.
