Think it’s hard to eat healthy? Think it’s hard to make a workout happen when you don’t have a gym membership?
taking off for warmer weather
Starting at 3am on Saturday morning, I’m going to prove that you can stay on a healthy eating schedule & proper workout program while travelling through airports & in a foreign country!
As you may know, I live a Gluten Free life due to an intolerance to gluten - hopefully I’ve showed you a little about how it really is not all that difficult to eat gluten free!…when in the US. How about doing it in a foreign country? Should be interesting…there is one sentence that got me through & will continue to help me while travelling next week:
When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
For our vacation, here’s what I made sure we had planned so we are not going to fail on our health & fitness:
- Booked a unit that included a kitchenette so we can prepare some meals ourselves.
- Packed in the luggage pre-packaged tuna, GF crackers, GF pretzels, hemp protein powder, greens mix, vitamins & Larabars
which will make eating in the airports & on-site much less stressful. - Packed the TRX bands for workouts that we can set up under a palm tree on the beach.
- Wearing the running shoes so there’s more room in the suitcase.
- Have 1 set of shorts & workout top in the carry-on to get a workout in even if there’s luggage snafus.
It may all sound crazy, but just because vacations happen, that doesn’t mean fitness doesn’t. So while I’m in the air tomorrow, get your workout in, eat your healthy breakfast, and I’ll be back with helpful tips, stories & tricks for you to get your “optimal fitness” on after we get settled in.
So how do YOU plan for health & fitness when travelling & on vacation?
