Going on vacation, no GYM. How can I maintain my weight loss?

[Anonymous]

Ok so since may I lost about 15 pounds. I am 5'1 so its a lot on me, I like my weight. I workout about 5 days a week ( do cardio, weights, swimming and yoga) so a variety of work outs. BUT august 5th I am going on vacation till the end of the month, and there will be no GYM ( and not sure if I can run outside everyday I am going to middle east so um ye who knows if I can do that there which is annoying). SO do you guys think I'll gain some weight? I will totally control my diet of course eat clean def. make sure of that. But like no working out I am freaking out! I will be walking around but now I am running 5 miles etc. going from that to nothing is so freaking scary. ANY suggestions or advice

It will have an effect on your metabolism, that is for sure. So reducing your diet could be the best way of compensating.

You could do exercises in your hotel room. Push-Ups, Sit-Ups, Crunches, and a host of other exercises that call for just your body working against itself.

This could help mimick some of the same metabolic rates you experience on your regular exercise regime, and with a reduced caloric intake, you should do fine.

You can search the internet for many feasble suggestions on exercises you can do on your own.

That's my problem I can't reduce my diet further than what it is or I will be starving. I am already on a low 1200 calorie diet which is filled with only healthy food.

Unless you're going on vacation to Iran, Iraw or Pakistan I think you'll be fine. Just watch out for men trying to abduct you. That happens on occassion.

[Asker]

Um no not going there but unless you know people getting abducted there all the time don't say that, abduction can happen anywhere its annoying people assuming that is what happens in those countries. I am going Europe first than there ah I just hope I don't come back fat b.c that will seriously ruin my come back to school!

[WaitingAtTheDoor]

I said that because I'm serious. It's going on in Europe as well. Don't take my word for it, read some of newspapers over there.

Buy Jillian MIchaels 30 day shred or her No More Trouble Zones Or her Boost Metabolism. Buy one of these or all and take them with you. I do these DVDS daily and that is how I work out and lose weight and build Muscle You don't need anything but 3 pound weights and you can do it in the comfort of your Hotel room. Hey question I am also losing weight and I am also 5'1 so what is your diet looking like?

[Asker]

I never thought of doing that!!! hahah good idea I am def. going to buy some dvd's!... my diet is 1200 calories on most days sometimes it goes up to 1600 ( say on weekends) but not higher than that or lower than 1200. I eat every three hourse or so, morning chobani yogurt with strawberries and handful of wheat cereal. than later on work out..after workout I eat eggwhites on wheat bread and tomato with weight watchers string cheese. than I snack in between before dinner some fruit or again wheat

Cereal ( its from stop and shop and only 50 cals for half a cup and no sugar so good) I measure it too. dinner I do vegies and grilled chicken, fish or something low carb or repeat my breakfast or lunch if I don't want to eat anything heavy. But I try and eat as much vegies as I can. but key is eating when you get up and not letting yourself go without food for more than 3 hours really worked for me. ( gym wise I run 4 miles, do elliptical. or other days walk uphill than go swim)

[windyone]

LOL are diets are looking the same and that makes me feel good. How do you run for 4 hours...

[Asker]

No no 4 MILES lol haha I wish I could run for 4 hoursssss than may b I could eat some of the good stuff lol lately I been eating about 1500 cals this week and I don't see that working so I think 1200 cals is when we lose. being short sometimes sucks
