<p>3 tips:</p>
<p>As we get older, finding motivation can sometimes be harder than when we were younger: We have less to prove to ourselves. One of the fundamentals of motivation is knowing 'your why', why are you doing this. You need to know why you are going to Nepal, why are you trekking, why you are working so hard, etc. Bring your why to mind when you don't feel like doing your workout or when you want to quit. </p>

<p>Sounds like a great trip. To stay motivated I recommend shifting your diet to healthy foods that you enjoy and it's ok to reward yourself in moderation with other foods.
