I agree. Eating clean (natural/minimally processed) foods and staying active is what I define to be a healthy lifestyle for myself as well. Sure, the folks that work out primarily to look good will not have a good time being out of the gym for days at a time. I stick to my work out routine to relieve stress, and the gains are more of a natural byproduct from being consistent.

As long as you put in 110% into your workout when you get back, you will quickly regain your old momentum.

Keep it up!
