My plan for this post was to draft it on the beach and post while on holiday. This is at least the 4th time I’ve planned to blog while on holiday and it’s the 4th time I’ve failed. I wonder will I ever learn?
So I made it to 100 days of movement and 7 of those days were while on holiday in Greece. Nobody is more shocked than I! 😀
Days 91 to 100?
A few of the workouts I did were super quick and mostly focused on holiday bloat. Man planes screw me up. I have to say that I did find working out while on holiday a little tougher than I thought it would be. It was mostly to do with scheduling in relation to breakfasts and beach time. There were mimosas at breakfast so there was some juggling. 😀 I was determined to finish this in Crete though because what a place to finish this with!
And I also rewarded myself with a fabulous facial in the resort spa. The facial alone was worth the 100 days of moving.
This challenge was a revelation for me. Moving for the good of my mind and body is such a departure from moving ‘to lose weight’. That’s not to say that I didn’t focus on my weight more than once while doing it or since (I’m currently on day 120) but it isn’t the reason I keep doing it. I love showing up for myself. I love being proud of myself each day for doing even a small amount because, that small amount was me making a conscious effort to look after my mind, body and soul!
I’m planning to make a post about tips to complete this challenge and talk about some of the products I found helpful. My top tip though? Find something you enjoy doing and don’t do more than 10 minutes for the first week or two. Seriously, ease into it and only do what you enjoy! The rest will follow.

Congratulations on completing 100 days of intentional movement! It’s inspiring to see how you prioritized your well-being even while on holiday. I’m curious, how did incorporating movement into your daily routine impact your overall mindset and mood during your vacation? Also, I look forward to reading your upcoming post about tips for completing the challenge and the products you found helpful.

Thank you! ❤️ I actually hit 365 at the end of June which is mind blowing! Incorporating movement during vacations does a few things for me, if we are away it feels like I’m setting myself up for the day (I always do it at the beginning of the day when away), I don’t tend to do long or high energy workouts when in hotels and such so it’s usually stretching/yoga or low impact cardio and that really helps with preparing myself for walking/hiking or standing/lying around all day. If we have a staycation I still do weights etc but I tend to do repeats of my favourites because it feels more fun. Also add extra dance workouts because they are always fun. 💃 The big thing for me though is that by continuing intentional movement during vacations I’m not ending it with that ‘starting over’ mindset that used to come after time off and didn’t do anything positive for me mentally. I have fun on vacation and moved every day and then just go back to work and move every day.
I really need to write that tips post because I’ve now got loads and most are simple! I shall start a draft asap!! 😀
