My hotel checklist looks a little different these days. ➡️

I purposely look for hotels where we can park the car and enjoy the destination instead of driving everywhere.

My favorite vacation mornings are slow ones. Coffee, a view, and a few quiet minutes before everyone else wakes up.

I love when I can build my meal around protein, enjoy fresh food, and then stop thinking about the food.

We planned to spend a day at Presque Isle, but I always love having a backup if the weather changes. The indoor pool (and whirlpool 😊) ended up being a pretty great Plan A.

I don’t need an elaborate workout on vacation, but I do appreciate hotels that make healthy choices feel easy. A fitness center with treadmills overlooking the bay? That’s a pretty great bonus.

Vacation doesn’t have to be go, go, go. A comfortable room with a waterfront view makes slowing down part of the trip.

One of the biggest mindset shifts I’ve had on a GLP-1 has nothing to do with food.
It’s how I choose where we stay.
A few years ago, I would’ve booked a hotel based on price or location and hoped I could “stay on track” while I was there.
Now, I look for places that make the healthy habits I’ve worked so hard to build feel easy.
🚶 A place we can walk instead of drive everywhere.
☕ Quiet mornings with coffee before the day begins.
🍽️ A restaurant I’d actually choose anyway.
🏊 A backup plan if the weather doesn’t cooperate.
💪 Easy ways to stay active without feeling like I have to “work out.”
Those little things make it so much easier to enjoy the weekend instead of worrying about “starting over” when I get home.
Thank you to , for helping make this such a relaxing waterfront getaway. 💙
Have your vacations changed since starting a GLP-1, or do they still feel stressful? I’d love to hear what’s helped you.
