Travel Fabulously - TIP No. 4
Get Ready - Go Green!
 
Yesterday I talked about getting physically organized by planning a week ahead of time. However, even when you are organized it is easy to eat poorly when you have so much to do at work and at home before you get away.

That's when I decide to double-down on the greens. The week before vacation, I try to eat and drink as many fruits and vegetables as I can - smoothies, salads, fruit snacks, juices, etc. If I can, I will also do a body cleanse.
 
 

 

This approach does a number of things for me. First, it gives me energy when I need it most. Then, it also gets my body ready for vacation in two important ways - one, I am going to feel lighter and more comfortable in all my beach clothes, and two, instead of being bloated and sluggish on my first days of vacation, I am ready to go with a lot of energy and my body is ready to take in the great food I am planning to eat on the Islands.

I hate starting a vacation needing to take several days to detox from bad food and to decompress from a week from hell before I go. I want to hit the beach ready to go - ready to party!
