Being Healthy on Holiday!

'Healthy & Holiday'. Now those are two words which are not often put together.

I realise that being on holiday means you eat one too many ice creams and maybe have a few too many margaritas!

However one must think of their bodies in this process! Now I am not going to go all preachy on

you don't worry but I am going to give you my tips that I have learnt being healthy on holiday!

1. Stop eating when your full. This seems just blatantly obvious but it took me a very long time to actually do this. You have to listen to you body and don't over eat- which is so easy to do.

2. Set a drinking time. What I mean by this is say to yourself you can have alcohol after 7pm only. 

3. Drink as much water as possible. In the day try and opt for water rather than unhealthy drinks and you could really help your skin!

4. Cook your own meals. If this isn't possible, obviously you can't do it. However if your renting an apartment or such like then for some of you stay you can cook your own meals. When we go away we always do this, it can also save a lot of money.

5. Skip the bread. We all know when you get lovely warm bread at restaurants how tempting it can be. Believe me I am guilt of this numerous times. If your going to eat a big meal skip the bread, your hunger can wait that little bit longer!

6. Use your common sense. This is the best advice I was ever given. My attitude towards food has not always been a healthy one ( another story for another time!) however when i got out that stage I had to re-evaluate. I was told to use my common sense when eating, eat when your hungry and stop when your full.

7. Eat when your hungry and stop when your full. This follows on from my last point, no diet ever works, it's proven! So it's really simple when it boils down to it.

8. Get your butt moving. Take your trainers on holiday or join a morning yoga class! Basically put down that book for at least an hour and get your but moving!

Ok so those are all my points,  I definitely got a bit off track on my last couple of points but I hope you got the general idea anyway!
