Eating right and exercising while traveling or on vacation is never easy. But somehow, I managed to eat well and work out regularly while on a business trip in Kansas City. I even went 5 days with no desserts, and I squeezed in a decent work out 4 days in a row.
But all good things must come to an end.
Case and point: This is what yesterday looked like…
1) The day started out promising, with a fruit salad and Odwall chocolate chip trail mix bar for breakfast.
2) Then there was time to kill at the airport, so a tall Mocha was ordered at Starbucks. Ok. Fine.
3) Then there was grabbing a lunch to take on the plain. Alright, not a lot of options, so I settled on a huge Everything bagel with egg and tomato slices. Not the best, but not a big deal. Yet.
4) Starving and exhausted, I arrived in Austin. I suggested Happy Hour to Lucas, so we went to Z’Tejas. This is where things got really ugly. We each had a frozen margarita and split chips & queso, a plate of shredded pork nachos, and the famous ancho chili fudge pie. With whipped cream. And ice cream.
Oh, we enjoyed it, don’t get me wrong. But it’s always the aftermath that gets you. I waddled out of the restaurant like a pregnant lady, I could barely move! We went to bed feeling disgusted, and both of us woke up in the night with stomach aches. Never again! (Yeah right….)
This morning called for detox.
Breakfast: Fresh juice (carrots, apple, orange, celery) and later a bowl of oatmeal mixed with carrot pulp.
Lunch: Salad greens with brown rice and sunflower seeds, tossed in olive oil
Dinner: We’re hanging out with Jill on her last night before she leaves for San Diego, so we kept it simple with ham & cheese sandwiches and chips.
Green heart:
-I took the Airport Flyer (bus) to and from the airport.
-I brought a set of silverware and a cloth napkin to use while traveling.
