Now just like you I enjoy good food & wine, but it's important not to overdo it on holiday. I find that if I follow these simple rules I don't come home half a stone heavier - & still manage to enjoy myself!
1. Don't drink alcohol every day. Decide to drink every other day, or 2 days drinking & then 1 day off - it's amazing how many excess calories you consume from alcohol - & of course no nutritional value!
2. Choose to drink water throughout the day, not calorie laden sugary drinks. You'll stay hydrated & your skin will thank you.
3. Don't have a 3 course meal every night - you wouldn't at home, so why overeat while you're away? You'll only feel bloated & uncomfortable.
4. Move! Sitting idly by the pool all the time will not help keep the pounds off. You're on holiday & have free time, so use it wisely... swim, try your hand at water sports, play tennis, walk, play with children, hire a bicycle. Try to something active every day.
5. Treat yourself to non food and drink rewards. Does your hotel offer any treatments – or is there a beauty salon or spa nearby? A little pampering makes you feel fabulous.
If you're off somewhere soon have a great time!
Back to the packing now....
Bev!
