How to Stay on Track When Traveling

Staying on track with your fitness and wellness goals can seem like additional difficult when your routine is disrupted. Whether you’re flying, going away for the weekend, or simply facing a busy week that doesn’t leave much room for your usual routines, consistency becomes more difficult. But the good news is that you don’t need perfection. You just need a plan that fits your lifestyle.

Here’s how to achieve it, even when you’re outside of your usual routine:

1. Set mini-goals

Don’t try to achieve every goal perfectly. Instead, focus on 1-2 things that will make you feel better. Maybe it’s exercising 20 minutes every day, drinking a certain amount of water, or meeting your protein goal. Choose what matters most and commit to that before jumping in all at once.

Tip: use your LSF calendar or a simple note on your phone to keep track of them. Seeing this visual reminder every day will keep you grounded.

2. Move your body

You don’t need a full gym or perfect setup to move your body. Walks, workouts in our MOVE appstretching or a quick ab burner before you leave can all count + can all be done at home.

Even 10 minutes counts. I promise.

3. Increase hydration

When you’re dehydrated, energy decreases, digestion slows, and cravings set in. Are you traveling? Bring a reusable water bottle so you can refill it wherever you go. Busy week? Set reminders on your phone to sip throughout the day.

What if you stole? Drink even more. Planes can be very dehydrating!

4. Improve, don’t limit

Trying to be “perfect” while traveling usually results in stress, not success. Instead of removing items, look for easy upgrades. Add vegetables where you can. Choose lean protein when it’s an option. Enjoy Fun Foods without guilt but also fuel you in a way that supports your energy and mood.

It’s not all or nothing.

5. Stick to your morning routine

Even a consistent part of your day can help keep you grounded. Maybe it’s a morning walk, journaling with your coffee, or a quick stretch before the day begins. Having something that starts your day with intention helps everything else fall into place even when you’re not on the schedule.

Staying on track isn’t about the rules. It’s about showing up for yourself, no matter where you are or what your day looks like. Progress happens in small moments, and it all adds up. You have this baby!
