Upcoming vacation

Deby Posts: 333 Joined: 2002/08/05	2003/08/04, 10:53 AM I am getting ready to go on vacation from August 28 - September 8 and will not have access to my gym. I am going to take my resistance bands with me and will have access to a treadmill. What can I do, so I do not lose all I have gained since March? Should I take my Swiss Ball with me to for crunches. I have worked too hard to lose this! -------------- Gramma

Youve been training since April, it will be a beneficial break. Have a good vacation. -------------- You can walk to anywhere you want, it only takes time.

Of course we can't go out and eat like there's no tomorrow, but not stressing about it and enjoying yourself is a good thing. Since you have probably increased your resting metabolism significantly, you may even find you lose a pound or two. If you have a chance to do cardio, then go ahead and do it, it can't hurt. Have fun though, you deserve it! -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
