Still in Hawaii getting medical testing done for my little girl. Living between a hotel and hospital can present it’s difficulties in reaching your health and fitness goals. But, though challenging, healthy travel definitely IS possible! I have no idea what your current situation may be, but if you are throwing out the excuse “I travel a lot!” or something along those line, here are a few tips:
- Staying fit – Bring along your workout DVDs if possible and fit in a workout when you can. Or as in my case, if you can’t take along DVDs, bring your running shoes and hit the pavement!
- Stock the fridge with good stuff! Our hotel room has a small refrigerator which we have stocked with plain yogurt, spinach, fresh fruit, roasted chicken breast, etc.
- Plan your snacks – yogurt, raw nuts, rice cakes w/ natural peanut butter, protein bars – these are a few suggestions of things that are easy to take along if you are out and about. Shakeology Balls are another one of our favorites which I’ve even been making here in our hotel room. (Mix 1 cup Chocolate Shakeology, 1 cup natural peanut butter, 1 cup raw oatmeal, 1/3 cup honey together and form into small balls).
My meals for today:
- Breakfast: Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Shakeology
- Snack: Handful of raw walnuts and handful of fresh blueberries
- Lunch: Spinach salad with roasted chicken breast and balsamic viniagrette dressing; plain yogurt with fresh blueberries drizzled with 1/2 tsp honey.
- Snack: Rice cake with 1 tbsp. natural peanut butter.
- Dinner: Not sure yet as have no idea where I’ll be at that time but it WILL be healthy!
No, it’s not always easy when things in your life are not the norm and you are away from home. But, like I said before, it’s not impossible to stay on track and still meet your goals. Contact me if you want FREE personal coaching as well!
