Because life is all about BALANCE ⬇️
& if that balance doesn’t include some fun in the sun, a cocktail on the beach, a scoop of vegan gelato, and a great glass of wine, what’s the point?! 🤭
Do you keep a routine while traveling or totally let loose?
When we travel, I stick to 5 tips to look and feel my best, enjoy every minute, stay on track while we’re away, and return home without missing a beat!:
1️⃣ Choose the right resort! We most recently stayed at
@thedoncesarhotel and it checked all the boxes with its prime location right on St. Pete Beach, 4 restaurants offering vegan options, a beautiful spa, professional gym, free fitness classes and beach yoga, nightly live music, two pools, luxury day beds on the beach, and free rentals for paddle boards, kayaks, & bikes.
2️⃣ Enjoy in Moderation! Have the dessert, get the truffle fries, and sip the blended cocktail... just balance those with healthier options in between! Try alternating drinks with sparkling water or mocktails, and if you’re planning for an indulgent dinner and dessert, have a lighter, healthier breakfast and lunch!
3️⃣ Modifications! If you find yourself somewhere with less than ideal dining options, don’t be afraid to ask for very minor modifications. i.e.: asking for a salad without the chicken, skipping the meat in a pasta entree, or asking them to turn a side of rice, beans, quinoa and vegetables into a main dish!
4️⃣ Stay Active, But Make it FUN! We got in over 22,000 steps in one day at
@thedoncesarhotel , just by choosing to go for a run on the beach, walk to lunch, take the stairs instead of the elevator, and walk to dinner! We also used their gorgeous gym almost every morning, tried out their fitness classes, and utilized their free bike rentals to explore!
5️⃣ Come Prepared! I always like to bring a few healthy snacks like fruit, plant-based protein bars, and single serving packets of protein powders! These are great to have on hand and make a quick breakfast or healthy afternoon snack and are also a great way to save money while traveling!
& most importantly... relax and have fun! If you’re not having fun... you’re not doing it right! 😘
