💼✈️ MME Minute: Balance > Blowout — Especially on Vacation

Good morning

It’s Thursday, July 17, 2025.

Greetings from Seattle—land of coffee, seafood, sourdough, and temptation at every turn. I’m here for my daughter’s wedding (yes, all the tears 🥹), and while the joy is high, so is the potential for going completely off the rails—both nutritionally and financially.

Vacations should be indulgent in memories, not regrets. The challenge isn’t just finding time to enjoy—it’s finding balance in the joy. So how do we keep from returning home with a food hangover, a drained bank account, and the dreaded post-trip “what have I done?” feeling?

Here are 10 ways to keep your health on track, even while traveling:

🌿 HEALTH HACKS FOR VACATION:

1. Hydrate Early & Often – One gallon might be tough, but half your body weight in ounces is doable.

2. Sleep Like It Matters – A rested traveler is a wiser eater and spender.

3. Walk It Out – Skip the Uber when you can. Shoot for 10k steps—explore with your feet.

4. Smaller Portions, Shared Plates – Savor without stuffing.

5. Protein First, Always – Helps with satiety and keeping blood sugar balanced.

6. Limit Liquid Calories – Especially sugary or boozy ones. (But yes, enjoy the local espresso ☕️).

7. Pack Healthy Snacks – Prevent impulsive gas station or airport pit stops.

8. Fast Strategically – Even a 12–14 hour fast helps your system reset.

9. Find One Daily Non-Negotiable – A short workout, a stretch, a journal—something grounding.

10. Practice Gratitude – It curbs overindulgence and centers your mindset.

💰 NOW ON THE MONEY SIDE:

Let’s not forget: vacations can become budget benders if we’re not careful.

Here are 3 quick financial vacation hacks:

1. Set a Daily Spend Limit – Even a loose ceiling keeps you conscious.

2. Use Cash for Discretionary Splurges – It slows down impulsive purchases.

3. Track as You Go – A simple note on your phone helps you see the trend before it gets out of hand.

Bottom line: The goal is restoration, not regression. You can indulge without unraveling your health and wealth goals.

So tell me:

🧠 What’s your go-to strategy for staying healthy (and solvent) while traveling? Any secret hacks I should try while I’m here in Seattle?

Drop a tip. Share your wisdom.

We’re better together.
