I can’t believe I’ll be in Cancun in 3 weeks!!! I have been SOOOO busy with our rental home renovation that I haven’t been able to focus enough on my diet & workouts. It finally sunk in this morning that I NEED to stay focused for the next three weeks or I will be mad at myself when I slip into my bikini in 3 weeks. I’m going to Cancun with a group of 6 of my close friends to celebrate my big 30th birthday!!
As always, if in order for me to stay focused, I need a plan.

My nutrition will be pretty similar for the first two weeks except I slowly phase out the use of protein powders and egg whites. By the time I’m one week away, I will only have one shake post workout and get all my other protein from real food. I ditch protein powders as my vacation gets closer because it’s a dairy product and can cause me to bloat a little. Depending on the type of protein powder your using, the sodium levels may be pretty high so keep an eye on that.
This nutrition plan will be super hard for me in the evenings since I’ll be at my new rental house every night working on renovations until about 9pm. I’ll really have to focus and plan to bring my food to the rental so I can eat it on the go. It’s WAY to easy to slip up and grab something fast when I’m not prepared and out and about.
I will also give myself probably 2-3 cheat meals in the 3 weeks. My parents are coming to visit one of the weekends so I’ll be a little more lenient then and give myself a cheat meal or two. Gotta be realistic!
As for my workouts, I will try to do split body part training 4-5 days a week. I’ll do cardio about 3-4 times a week for about 30 minutes each. The last week I may up my cardio a bit.
Now let’s hope I can stick to my plan! Annnnnnd go!
