I am curious what those of you that are at/near a healthy weight do (if anything) to prepare for vacations or other events.

Do you lift more? More cardio? Pay closer attention to diet? Nothing at all?

I am barely 5'2", 128 lbs, lift 4 days a week, and get my 10k+ steps per day, and want to lose 5-6 lbs in this time frame, which I think is doable as long as I stick to my calorie goal.

    I don't do anything in particular to prepare for a vacation (Caribbean for 2weeks at the end of the month), but I do like to be at the bottom of my maintenance range when leaving the house.
    Travel, hot climates and higher salt content in my food always puts a few pounds of bloat on me. Being at the lower end of my range means I won't be walking around naked by the end of the cruise because my clothes no longer fit.

    Lose what you can, those last 5 may be a little slow to come off.
    Drink lots of water while away.
    Enjoy your vacation.

    Cheers, h.
