You don't have to just accept that you'll come back from your vacation a few pounds heavier or a little bit lazier. Stay on track, even when you're "off" with these tips.
Bring your own nibbles

Pound the pavement
No fitness center? Nix public transportation and explore the neighborhood you’re in on foot. "Not only is it built-in exercise, but you’ll discover cool things you wouldn’t normally notice when whizzing by in a car," Dopart says.

(Almost) have it all
