question about 30 DS

kenzie0884

I am starting today, but I will be taking a weekend mini-vaca to Mackinaw on the 26th-28th. What should I do about the program? I would LOVE to do it in the hotel room, but I am sharing with in-laws, so forcing them to wait for me to do a workout seems selfish, and weird/awkward. I was thinking of doing it the 26th (before we leave) and the 28th when we get back home, but I will be leaving super early and get back super late those days, so I will be exhausted. If I skip 3 days (really want to at least do the two days, and maybe miss one), should I start back from the beginning, or continue where I left off? The good thing is we will be biking the 8 miles or whatever it is around the island, and walking a ton on land, so at least I won't be completely inactive. I still plan to follow my food plan the whole time as well. I really don't want to ruin this over a weekend getaway. Any advice is appreciated even if it's just to tell me that it's not going to work to skip days.

I wouldn't start over, personally. As long as you stay active and find you're still able to keep up when you return home I say pick up where you left off.

You should be somewhere in Level 2 by then, and honestly, if you are really putting yourself to it, you'll want the rest days!

Rest days are actually good for you when building muscle.

Just enjoy your vacation, and come back to where you started. maybe add a day or two longer to make up for it. You might need to ramp back up to level 2 for a day or two also at Anita's level.
