Who said you can’t prep on holiday? And a cruise of them all…
93.2kg vs 91.8kg a new low
And I can confirm this is not from under-eating 😋
Understanding the reason behind going on a holiday sounds silly but this is something that shouldn’t be overlooked
Stress release
Exploration
Partying
Typically, the average person will be going on holiday for 1 or 2 of these and their goal would have been the holiday itself
Now, for someone like me who’s goals are for competition or go beyond that of just a holiday there is another category
Change of scene
Which means my overall day to day of non negotiables remain the same, the goal posts do not shift, only the means of getting there does - which simply requires the ability to adapt
If I had the means to prep food whilst away, I would have
In this scenario, I only had the means of consumption and not preparation which means the power of choice became very important
I chose to do the following:
🔺20 minutes fasted cardio
🔺Remain active, walking every opportunity, stairs instead of lifts - circa 20k steps daily whilst exploring each destination
🔺Trained 4 days - pump chasing and just having fun with the ships gym or a destination gym if it was worth going to
🔺swam 10-20 lengths daily
🔺stayed consistent with breakfast, lunch meals (high protein, moderate carb and low fat) having a treat for a post workout and enjoying whatever for a last evening meal (starter & main)
🔺kept desserts to a couple of nights
🔺had 2 high days to indulge allocated on the days of particularly high expenditure
🔺brought body scales to weigh in daily which made it easier to track bodyweight and thus monitoring food consumption
🔺relaxed and enjoyed
Ultimately I’ve had an awesome time, saw some epic sights a lot of history and ear marked places I’d love to return to and explore more
Plus progress has continued nicely ✅
