Traveling...

It's hard to travel and still eat healthy or maintain your usual work out routine! I love love traveling and my favorite place to go is "home" I love being back in Southern Oregon with my wonderful family! SO.... here are just a few quick things that I am trying to do while at home...

First of all PLAN PLAN PLAN!... at least a little. I plan my work outs for the week when I am going to be home. I also will let everyone that needs to know have a clue of my plan. I always feel a little overwhelmed when I am home visiting I want to make sure I have a chance to spend time with every... SO I find it best to plan.

I am lucky my mom will also call and see what I "need" food wise. She makes a point to get some of the staples that I eat at home.  Zak and I will also bring some stuff to. Don't be afraid to bring stuff that you eat on a regular basis.  Zak and I drive over night so we will pack a cooler with food as well. It also helps so we don't stop at a easy fast food restaurant when we get hungry.

Before we leave I will make a list to make sure I remember to bring all my work out stuff... I find it easier to make excuses to not work out if I forgot something.

When we go out to eat the general rule applies, just be smart about what you order. Don't be afraid to ask for special request, like egg whites, no butter things like that. If I eat out for breakfast I do my best to eat the rest of my meals at home and will also make sure one of those meals is really healthy and good. I still make sure I have snacks when we are out and about. It makes it so I don't buy food because I am hungry.

unfortunately the weather is sort of icky at the moment but try to do activities outside with your friends and family.. Like hikes, walk, runs. Include people around you in your works outs. I am sure they would love to see what you are doing.  Who knows... maybe you can motivate someone.

So what do you do when you are not home and staying in a hotel?? To be honest.. I haven't done alot of traveling other places. However... I would definitely try to make sure there is some sort of work out equipment. When Zak and I went to Denver we stayed right next to a bike path so I made sure utilize that.

I am sure I have more tips and tricks... however it's a bit late and I am beat so I will make sure I will write more on this issue later! Have a fantastic night!
