*Dinner and snack #3*

I just realized that I had more carbs today. I am definitely going to make sure I watch out for this. oops. But overall I did pretty good. No junk food, No candy, No soda or juice. Just water throughout the day.


Clean Eating While Traveling- Day 1



Many people freak out when they have finally got into a rhythm with their diet and the moment of truth arrives. Traveling. Some people panic because they will be living in a hotel for a couple of days to a week, trying to figure out what snacks to eat, and even dining out once reaching your destination. I am currently on a trip myself as I am typing this. I was terrified that I may not be able to keep up with my diet and meal plan. So I put my thinking cap on and thought about the world around me. Fortunately I am in a really great location where I could walk to Publix and the hotel provides a refrigerator and microwave. So for you, my friend, that is all you need to be successful. Now if there is not a place in walking distance but is like 5 to 10 minutes away, I would recommend going to do one big shop for how ever long you are staying at your traveling destination.

 Since the drive was only about 3 and a half hours I  just prepared for breakfast and a couple of goodies the night before. So here is a list of traveling goodies that I packed:

I forgot to mention that I am a breastfeeding mother so my caloric intake is a bit higher than the person who falls in the 1500- 1799 bracket. The color coded hearts are for those who are using portion control containers and/or apart of the 21- day fix health and fitness programs. Though you can still take the above information and apply it to your diet during your travels.
