Holiday time

             I have just started a two week break from work and it is really important to get the most from this break on my low-carb lifestyle.
I think that just because I am on holiday that doesn't mean that my body is going to be allowed the same luxury. Low-carb lifestyle is a habit not a fad and I will not take a break from it to indulge myself in holiday goodies. Think of all the extra effort that you will have to do when your holiday ends.

A ordinary person while on a two week holiday with all the holiday indulgences gains between 3 and 6 lbs in weight. Do I really want to add that weight back on my body when I have worked so hard to lose it ?

I have another theory, I will use that holiday to work harder. Without the distractions from work I can concentrate on my low-carb daily food types and I can increase my exercise. We are going away this time so it will be a challenge to manage our low-carb eating in another country, also we have our running gear with us and expect to maintain our running plan.

Its about not allowing other distractions to push you off your low-carb/exercise path when on holiday. Yes I am going to have a great holiday but that does not include eating for the sake of it or being a lounge lizard and taking it to easy.

Go and have a great holiday but with the knowledge that when you get home you will look and feel fitter and lighter and far more relaxed with yourself.
