Summer is here! And with summer comes “vacation mode”. Vacation mode, or summer mode, can feel a lot like the holidays in a sense. And that reason is two-fold:

1. We press the pause button and put our habits on hold for a while. We know we’ll be traveling or doing more outings with the kids, and so we let our workouts, and even our focused eating habits, go on the backburner for a bit.
2. Everything is fun, special and “For a Limited Time”. So we want to experience the fullness of summer…do all the things, go to all the places, eat all the things…because we think this will be our only chance!

But unfortunately, if we don’t keep our attitude and our behaviors in check, summertime can start to feel a lot like the holidays. Pretty soon, we get all those same unhealthy, “what have I done to myself” feelings! Not good. 

In this episode, my co-host Scott and I discuss some practical ways to still have a blast this summer and enjoy your favorite things while still maintaining a certain amount of focus on your health.
