or in the South in general in November.

I used to go to all-inclusive resorts as I do yearly for the fall vacations. So I "waste" one week. I know that I will recover anyway.

But I wonder if there are resorts that are oriented 'fitness', with a lot of pedestrian activities around preferably close to mountains, yet on the beach.

I know Club Med offers several "wellness" options that include more active vacations.

I also heard that Canyon Ranch (the well known one all-inclusive-fitness/spa in Arizona) is supposed to be opening a Miami branch soon.

Of course there's Rancho La Puerta in Baja ... pretty much right up there with Canyon Ranch as being well known.

I also think I read somewhere that one of the major cruise lines is doing a fitness/weight loss cruise.

I'd hit up Google and see what you can find ... I know there are a lot of options out there.

I would do things on your vacation that remind you of your hard work and that reward you for meeting goals... like get some kind of awesome spa treatment, or a new bathing suit to wear on your vacation. You can do those things anywhere.

I think you should indulge! Hopefully stuff like that will keep it in perspective.
