My sister Mika eating dinner at the amusement park
Do you have trouble finding healthy options when you travel? I know, it’s tough to keep to your same healthy food routine when traveling, but I have to say that it’s definitely possible. I’m not only talking about when you travel on an airplane going thousands of miles away, but what about when you go to I don’t know – let’s say an amusement park. What do you do when you know the only options will be pizza, French fries, burgers, hot dogs and all the gluten in the world, including fried dough?
Well – I was just put in this situation this past week and luckily I planned ahead.
The key to keeping your healthy diet is to plan ahead. That’s the trick!
What do I mean by this?
Let me explain. My sister and I were a part of an event that took place at an amusement park in Connecticut and it was an all day thing. I’m talking 7am – 11pm!
We spoke the night before and made a plan.
We both brought peanut butter and jelly on gf bread, 3 hard boiled eggs each (for dinner), baby carrots, cucumbers, cashews, dark chocolate and bananas.
I’m not kidding!
What a brilliant idea it was.
We didn’t end the day feeling like crap and I can’t tell you how happy I was not to leave with a stomachache.
This is an example of a day trip – but I’ve also traveled on planes where I pack a whole slew of healthy snacks ie: gf crackers, Larabars and any other fillers that I might need while on the go.
Just because you leave the comfort of your own home, or city does NOT mean you have the excuse to eat like crap. I don’t care if it’s vacation, don’t do it. Sure, have a margarita every now and then, but to eat junk for every meal while away is not ok for you and your body.
Take some time to plan ahead – your temple will certainly thank you.
Yours in health,
Shira
