1. Get your mind grounded before you take off!
Envision your goal. Write a description of all the ways your life will be better once you lose the weight.
2. Make a list of the top strategies you've been using.
Think of all the things you've been doing successfully at home to help you stay on your diet. Determine which of these strategies are portable, which ones you can take with you easily. Also, see how you can adapt some of the others to be good travelers as well.
3. Don't try to be perfect.
Think about having at least two meals while you're away where you don't concern yourself with sticking to your diet. Allowing for a couple of non-restrictive meals will help you not feel deprived. The key is to decide how many free meals you will have, and then count them as you go so you don't exceed the number you've prescribed for yourself.
4. Keep exercising!
If you have been exercising regularly as part of your weight-loss plan, see if you can keep it up to some degree while you're on vacation. Find a place to run or to walk. You probably won't be bringing free weights with you, but you can certainly do things like pushups, sit-ups, squats, leg raises, and calf-raises. You'll find that keeping up at least a minimum level of exercise will help you have an even better.

Tired of long, slow, and boring cardio workouts
lose weightOK, here's how the 4-minute workout works:
Tabata Intervals consist of 20 seconds of maximum intensity exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest. This pattern is repeated 8 times for a total of 4-minutes. Dr. Tabata used a special exercise bike, but I developed this easy to remember body weight routine that you can do at home, on the road, or at your local gym.
These are the powerful exercises that will have you burning fat fast!
1. Squat Thrusts x 20 seconds
- rest 10 seconds
2. Mountain Climber x 20 seconds
- rest 10 seconds
3. High Knees x 20 seconds
- rest 10 seconds
4. Jumping Jacks x 20 seconds
- rest 10 seconds
5. Squat Thrusts x 20 seconds
- rest 10 seconds
6. Mountain Climber x 20 seconds
- rest 10 seconds
7. High Knees x 20 seconds
- rest 10 seconds
8. Jumping Jacks x 20 seconds
- rest 10 seconds
Breathe... you're done!
Remember, this isn't your typical jog in the park. To burn the maximum amount of fat and get every last drop out of your 4-minute interval you need to give an all out effort for each 20-second round.
Good luck!
