New Year's 2011: Resolution to Be Less Stressed and Lose Weight

Lucky Little Travelers, www.luckylittletravelers.com , is a new website dedicated to family travel. Please check our website for family friendly destinations, travel tips, and packing for children. We are currently building, so if you don’t find what you are looking for, please check back with us. Reduce your stress and take a vacation with your family. Fewer people travel in the month of January making it less expensive to fly. Site-seeing attractions are, also, less crowded, thereby less hectic.

Stress and Weight Gain

There is a relationship between stress and gaining weight. Weight gain is an indication of stress, especially if we have not changed our diet. Emotional eating, cortisol and lack of exercise are contributing factors. While some stress can be a good thing, it can motivate, stimulate, and actually push us to get a task completed; too much stress can cause the body harm. Recognizing stress is important, because then the cause can be identified and dealt with. There are techniques that can be adopted to increase energy and lose weight.

Make a mental note that the feeling of being overwhelmed or exhausted at the end of each day is stress that you are feeling. It is important to recognize the effect of stress. To decrease and combat stress:

1. Incorporate a walk someplace in the day. If there isn’t time for a walk some kind of stress reduction technique such as meditation.

2. Cutback on Caffeine. Realize that the caffeine, from to many cups of coffee or soft drinks, is not an energy substitute.

3. Stop eating fast foods, most have almost no nutritional value, and your body knows when it needs nutrients. Sweet and salty cravings are a signal of stress. Prepare for this by having good healthy snacks around

4. Stop skipping meals with the excuse of being too busy to eat. It will only produce more stress and exhaustion.

5. Make sure to get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can produce exhaustion

6. If you find yourself eating when you are not hungry, make an effort to wait 15-20 minutes to give yourself a chance to sort out the emotional difference between true hunger and stress related emotional eating.

Most of all make add to your New Year’s Resolution: Be Kinder to Yourself and Others. We might find that if we give ourselves a break and admit that we are only human and can only accomplish so much in a given day we will decrease the stress that we put on ourselves.

Easy Best Tips and Tricks to Exercise on Vacation Travel

As we welcome the New Year we have all made our resolutions to exercise more and eat healthier. Incorporating Exercise in your vacation is easy. In fact, exercise on vacation is usually not a problem. There is an enormous amount of activity that takes place on vacation. Here are 6 ways to think about how you can enhance exercise on your vacation:

1.) If you are going to a beach community, take long walks in the sand. It is great exercise and it tones muscles.

2.) Theme parks present continual opportunities to walk. Make a mental note to pick up your walking pace whenever you can. No need to run, but you can raise your heart rate a little, and with all that walking a little adds up to a lot.

3.) Staying in a hotel with a gorgeous pool. Get in and swim!

4.) Going to a mountain resort: bike, hike, or walk. Look online to see if you can rent a bike, how much they usually rent for, and where to go to pick one up.

5.) Stairs are hard to avoid on vacation. In America, there are usually ramps for disabled people and strollers. If you don’t have anyone in need of the ramp, take the stairs.

If you are in Europe, use the underground metro system. Most of Europe’s underground metro public transportation is great and will take you to within walking distance to main attractions. More importantly, the way in and out of the underground is by stairs.

6.) Nicer hotels and resorts usually have exercise rooms, take advantage of them.

Be sure to bring the proper equipment with you; comfortable walking shoes that give good support, bathing suit, sunscreen, flip-flops, bike.

Most importantly, be nice to yourself. Do whatever it is that you can do to exercise, but acknowledge your accomplishments. Reduce your stress and enjoy your vacation!
