Staying On Track While On The Road

Road trips, family vacations, weekend tournaments.. They all take you out of your routine which makes it hard to keep momentum.

Here are a few tips to help you stay on track while away from home:

Ask a million questions at restaurants to find healthy option
-ask for egg whites
-find out if shrimp can come without breading
-ask if you can get all veggies instead of fried rice with your stir fry
-get your dressing on the side

Drink water with every meal
-being in a strange environment will dehydrate you faster, so do this to get ahead

Make substitutions when possible
-get the burger without a bun
-ask for veggies and dip
-ask for a side salad instead of fries

Keep photos and reminders handy
-make your phone and iPod backgrounds pictures of the body you're working for or an inspirational saying
-try to room with someone who shares your desire to stay on track

Bring workout gear
-almost every hotel has a gym you can use
-there are great at home workouts you can do in your hotel room
-go for a walk outside and see the city

Take the stairs instead of the elevator
-the more steps you take, the most calories you burn

Don't skip breakfast
-you're already out of your routine, so your blood sugar will drop sooner

Keep small healthy snacks around
-bring protein bars with you for the times you can't stop for food
-buy fruit from the grocery store thee for in the room
