So basically I’m going to Quebec with my parents and brother for the first week of July!
July 2 – 11 I believe. We will be staying in a hotel/with relatives, and I will be able to exercise for the entire time. We’re going to be sightseeing and walking quite a bit I hear, but some days we won’t be doing much at all.
I am a 16 year old girl, very active as it ( I work out 5 days/week for like an hour, sometimes I bike, go up/down stairs alot ) and I weigh like.. I don’t know, 97 lbs or something. ( I’m 5’1" )
I eat very healthily as well. I don’t eat fast food or chips, soda any of that crap. I like real, quality food. Whole foods!
Chances are, during this vacation I’ll have some fairly unhealthy/caloric things ( such as ice cream, and poutine – considering we’re going to Quebec!
haha ) so yeah, some pretty unhealthy stuff with not much activity.
I won’t be able to go out for walks/runs or anything because I’ll be in an unfamiliar place. I can try to get some crunches and lunges and push ups and such in, but probably won’t be abe to.
Anyway, with this week affect me a lot? Will I become weaker/gain a bunch of weight, or anything like that?
Do you have any suggestions for when I return?
Please don’t be ignorant about this; if these kinds of questions irritate you, you don’t have to read them/answer – you’re obviously wasting your time if you do.
Any help is appreciated!!!!
i went on vacation last week, and i was all like "i’m going to excersize and eat healthy! i can do it!" well that plan DID NOT work. i was with my best friend who i think is anorexic and i just couldn’t handle going to all the restaurants and Disney World and stuff to make good choices. however many calories you are eating now, just increase them by 200-400 calories, so you will have many more options while on vacation, and not feel bad about eating poorly. you shouldn’t gain more than 5 pounds at the most, because of all the walking and sight seeing you’ll be doing. try your best to get as much excersize as you can without ruining your trip. maybe wake up earlier than everyone else and get some jump n jacks, sit ups, crunches, running in place, and other quick and easy exercises. but remember, you’re on vacation, and don’t deprive yourself of all the great food in Quebec, but eat in moderation, and if you want to indulge in something yummy, do it! but be sure to burn off those extra calories by getting some excersize before bed. maybe you could take one of those 10 minute solution excersize tapes from Walmart. they’re AMAZING~ have a great vacation and enjoy yourself! Good luck!
