Navigating Food and Movement While Traveling
In this episode, we’re breaking down exactly how we handled our most recent vacation, from the mindset we had going into it, to how we eased back into routine once we got home.
We talk about how we did not restrict, cut carbs, or add extra cardio before the trip just to “earn” a bikini moment. We share what it looks like to be in a health-supportive phase leading into vacation, not focused on aesthetics. We also talk about how this approach helped the trip feel more balanced, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable.
We also get into how we approached vacation itself; aspects such as prioritizing fruits and veggies without stressing, taking a structured training break, and fully enjoying meals and treats without food guilt.
And most importantly, we share what it looked like to return home without feeling like we needed to “make up for” anything. No guilt, no punishment, just a gentle return to routine that supports long-term consistency. If you’ve ever struggled with staying present on vacation or felt overwhelmed getting back into a routine after time off, this episode is for you.
