Guilt-free summer vacation how-to's

(NC)—Hitting the road? Don't throw your weight-loss plan out the window. Slim-Fast (www.slimfast.ca) gives you tips on how to enjoy your summer vacation fling – without expanding your waistline in the process. Ocean Cruise • Do Take advantage of the ship's myriad exercise classes: tae kwon do, rock climbing, flow yoga, aqua aerobics. Chances are, you'll have more fun – and even forget you're working out – when trying something new. At night, make a date with your hubby to go dancing. Not only will you burn calories, but you'll heat up your relationship, too. • Don't Obey the words "all you can eat." Cruise lines are notorious for their extravagant buffets, but it's a danger zone for those watching what they eat. Instead, opt for the ship's traditional restaurants where you're in charge of selecting which foods are placed in front of you. Beach Retreat • Do Use the oceanfront setting as your own personal gym. Race your little ones through the sand, dodge waves, snorkel through placid waters and volunteer to get on all fours to build colossal sandcastles. • Don't Feast on the beach snacks of your childhood. Tropical locales are known for their fresh, delicious, healthy fare, so take advantage. Scan the menu for big bowls of local fruit, simply prepared seafood, grilled fish and fruity smoothies. Road Trip • Do Pack a cooler filled with healthy, tasty, easy-to-eat foods like sliced fruit and veggies, granola bars, juice and homemade sandwiches. The only thing faster than fast food is food that's already in your car. The trick is to replenish and restock along the way – nobody wants a soggy tuna sandwich. • Don't Forget that it's as much about the journey as the destination. Leave time in your itinerary for plenty of stops along the way to see the sights, stretch your legs or even play a game of tag. Most highway systems provide rest stops for a reason – get out and enjoy. Credit: www.newscanada.com
