Hi all!
I'm writing this from Denver! Full recap will come after I'm home (including some great gluten free food reviews!) but I wanted to just give a few hints of how to stay healthy while traveling for work.
PACK FOOD FOR PLANE
I always pack food to eat on the plane so I won't be hungry and won't have to spend a ton of money in the airport.
This time for breakfast I packed a grapefruit, blueberries, kiwi and half a pbj sandwich (I had eggs at home before I left). This food held me over until I got to the hotel and had lunch (which wasn't until 1PM).
PACK FOOD FOR SNACKS
you never know what you'll find and it's better to be safe than sorry.
This trip I packed:
Chia seeds (hoping they have yogurt!)
Apples
Bananas
Clif bars
Fruit leather
This way I'm not tempted to go and spend money on silly things.
RESEARCH THE HOTEL
Does it have a gym? Is it close to a park? Is it walking distance to tourist stuff?
It's important to know what's around so you can get your workouts in whether in a gym or park or walking around. Gotta keep the fitness up!
RESEARCH THE AREA
are there restaurants around? Are they chains? do they have healthy options?
My goal for this trip is to have at least part of a salad for lunch and then splurge a bit on lunch. I also want to limit my gluten, which can be hard to do while traveling, so wish me luck.
What are some tips you have for when you travel?
