So before we start, I want everyone to put your hands in prayer position, close your eyes if you can, if you can't keep them open. If you're listening to me while driving, don't close your eyes.

Today we have a great topic, and the topic is how to stay grounded, balanced, and intentional while still enjoying your life. So I just got back from Las Vegas and Los Angeles with my two kids. My daughter turned 21 and I took her to Las Vegas for her twenty first birthday. It was fun. I'm gonna turn this a little bit. It was fun, a little hectic, but not really my vibe, but it was fun. She loved it for her first time. We saw all the outdoor stuff, which was really cool, the hotels, everything. Vegas is cool. I I'm not like, you know, the type that wants to stay there for long. Quick visit in and out. We went ziplining. That was amazing. So amazing. Like across all these shops near the Caesars Palace. That was really cool. A lot of fun. Then we flew to LA and we met my son, and the whole trip was about six days. That's why I want to talk about this topic. It was such a beautiful trip, but I did not fall off track at all with my abs with my muscles with my weight with my fitness level with my health with my mental health and with my emotional well-being and that's what I want to talk to all of you about because I know that a lot of my clients that go on trips they just go on trips they eat everything drink everything don't work out and they come back With an extra three to five pounds and they're miserable and they feel terrible. I have a few clients that actually sink into a depressed state whenever they get back from vacation. And I don't want that for any of you, and I definitely don't want that for myself. So I want to go over some key points here. You don't have to choose between enjoying your life and taking care of yourself. You can do both. I had the time of my life and I did not restrict myself at all. I actually enjoyed myself. I love wine. I drink wine if I could drink it every day, I would, but I don't because it does affect me a little bit mentally and emotionally and spiritually if I have more than one glass. And I, like all of you, do not just have one little Four ounce or five ounce glass. No, I and I'm not saying that I have a lot because I don't drink in excess, but with my meal, I love to drink wine. Two glasses, one and a half glasses. If I have more than two, I definitely start to feel it. But I was on vacation. First we went to Vegas, like I said, I drank a couple of margaritas, but I make sure they're skinny margaritas without all the sugar. Not just for my weight, but for my mental state. Because a lot of sugar makes me like feel kind of cuckoo, very off, and my body. So I have skinny margaritas, and then we went to a nightclub and I had a little like a tequila shot. My daughter did the shot. I didn't want to just drink the shot, but I put it in a glass with some club soda and lime juice and I sipped on it throughout the night. And it was good. I didn't feel hung over the next day and I didn't gain a lot of fat or calories. So it was really great. So that's what I want to just say is everything in moderation is what I'm here to teach all of you. What most people do is an all or nothing mindset, either super, super strict or they become completely derailed and they just eat and drink everything in sight. That cycle is what I'm actually trying to help all of you with to keep people not in a stuck position of, ⁓ my God, what do I do? It's all or nothing. No, I want to help all of you with living your life to the fullest, going on vacation and enjoying it without restricting yourself and feeling like. Again, like I'm stuck. It's either all or nothing. No. What I want you to do is think of a mind shift. I wrote down a couple of points. You stay aware not to the extreme. You move your body daily. Now let me just stop there for a second. My daughter and I, we walked 15 to 25,000 steps every single day. And believe me, it's not the heart. You don't have to do it all at once. You get your Fitbit or you keep your phone on you. You walk and walk and walk. Save your money. Don't go taking the Uber or the Lyft or the taxi. Walk. Walk everywhere. Drink a ton of water. Stay hydrated. We were definitely walking everywhere. So keep your body moving when you're on vacation. Don't overfocus on The ri like cutting carbs, stricting, restricting my calories. Don't be like overwhelmed with those thoughts. Just think good clean eating from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. And if I want to have some pasta, some wine with dinner, then have fewer carbs during the day so that you're not in carb overload either. I made balance choices that worked for me in the moment. So what I like to do, I just want to tell all of you real quick, for breakfast, I like to skip on all the heavy carbs. I load up on the egg whites, ⁓ the yogurt, the almonds. I don't really do the cereals. And if I want to have an oatmeal, I make sure to make some you know, put some protein powder. I was kind of like hesitating to say that because when you're on vacation, we don't always bring protein powder with us. So if I'm going to have the oatmeal, then I make sure I have a lot of egg whites, some kind of protein. I'm always putting protein first for lunch, a salad with a ton of protein if I know I'm gonna eat pasta for dinner. If I'm not going to eat pasta and I have a salad or fish and veggies for dinner. Then for lunch I'll have hamburger or pasta or pizza. I love pizza, but I'll have one slice of pizza and I make sure that I get protein with the pizza, like a side of chicken, grilled chicken, or a side of shrimp, or even put salmon on my pizza. I love that. And if I'm going to drink the wine. And I know I'm going to have it at night, then I try to do a little bit less carbs throughout the day. So I'm not overloading on carbs. Okay. So just make balanced choices. That's the most important thing. Walk as much as possible. I already said that. Short hotel workouts. Okay. There was I was in Vegas. So at ⁓ where was I saying it was ⁓ the Lynx Hotel. which is a part of Caesar's Palace. The gym was to die for. I was like a little kid in a candy store. So I what I did was a short workout, 20 minutes, that was it. And I hopped from machine to machine. I did one set of biceps, one set of triceps, one chest workout, a leg press, a leg curl, some squats with no weed, a plank And I did that circuit like five times. It took me twenty minutes, and there I had my strength training workout. I got my cardio because I wasn't resting in between. I kept going and going and going. And it was great. I burned like 250, 350 calories, depending on how much weight you lift and how strenuous your workout is. So I got that little workout in a couple times, maybe three times out of the six days I was gone. And then I did my walking every day. So it was perfect. Okay. Eat clean most of the time, but also indulge, enjoy, do a cheat meal. Treat yourself. Don't restrict yourself. Enjoy what you choose without guilt. That is very important. Consistency does not mean perfection. It means staying connected to yourself. What feels good for you. And you all could eat a little bit more, drink a little bit more. I'm just sharing with all of you what makes me feel good on vacation is to enjoy and indulge a little bit, but also to be aware that I don't want to come back gaining weight and feeling miserable because. I don't like that feeling. I don't like stuffing myself so much that I feel sick to my stomach because I'm not used to eating fried foods and huge large portions. So I myself am more careful, I think, when I go out of town than I am in my everyday life, just because I don't want to feel that sick feeling. I want to enjoy my life. So however I live my life when I'm home. is how I live my life on vacation. But if I want something, I get it. I if I want an ice cream, I eat it. If I want a piece of chocolate, I eat it. If I want three glasses of wine, I do it. So enjoy yourself, but don't go too crazy. Remember, everything in balance. Okay. So you don't start over after vacation. This is really, really important. Whatever happens on vacation, whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. That reminded me of that. Nothing happened with us. We had a great time. It was a lot of fun. So what I would like to say is don't start over when you get back from vacation. Don't beat yourself up. If you did gain a couple pounds on vacation, so what? You'll lose it over the next week. You'll be bloated. You'll have water retention. You probably ate more salt than normal. The flying on the plane causes you to get bloated. And you know, traveling makes your system, your digestive system not work as well. So don't kill yourself and beat yourself up when you get from back from vacation. You don't have to punish yourself at all. You don't need to lose control. So even if you did not as well as you wanted to do, don't punish yourself and don't lose control. It's all about the balance, the mindset, and being kind and loving to yourself. Okay. This is about becoming someone who takes care of herself or himself. everywhere not just at home and this is what I I just looked up because I saw a balloon flying. I'm like, where did that come from? My daughter's birthday balloons. This is what I want to say that's so important. Why do people go on vacation and they just say, okay, I'm on vacation, so let me not work out. Let me eat like a pig, drink like a pig. Do everything I don't do at home. Why do people do that? That's craziness. Unless you're like in your teens or twenties and you really don't care and you're just living in the moment. But if you're over 30, 35, which most of my audience is, you're already structured in your life. Don't throw it away just because you're going on vacation. Because let me tell you, some vacations Are seven to fourteen days, and you could come back gaining eight pounds. And at our age, it's not that easy to lose, and then you're gonna you're going to be miserable, you're going to feel miserable physically, mentally, and spiritually. Don't do that to yourself. Remember that anywhere you go in the world, there you are, you're with yourself. So keep your lifestyle healthy. Because it will lead to happiness. Do that movement, those steps. Get those steps in. Eat the good healthy foods that thrive and make your mind thrive and your body thrive and your spirit thrive. Feel good by eating well-balanced meals and cheat a little bit. Okay. You can enjoy life. And take care of your body for sure. So, where do we struggle the most? This is what I want to ask you. Where do you struggle the most? Staying consistent or letting go too much?

So I want to hear from all of you. So to end this, ⁓ I don't have an ending. Okay, I'm gonna I must have lost a page along the way. So I'm just gonna end it on a note that I want to end it on.
