Eating on the Road

I have recently started a new job that requires an extensive amount of travel. I was so excited about this opportunity to travel but was apprehensive about how I would be bale to control what I am eating. I have been working with Angela since February and have been able to lose almost 14 pounds (yayyy me). Now I must figure out how to make smart decisions without being able to cook.

My first stop was Los Angeles for three weeks. I have been here for a week and have made some good and bad decisions. My first day of work I went out for breakfast at the Newsroom Cafe. I was so excited that they made fresh juices. I recently bought a juicer and have been making fresh juices at least once a day.

Another saving grace of being in LA, is that I have a full kitchen. I went to Whole Foods and was able to stock up on fruits and veggies. I was also able to cook. I feel like I have a bit more control over what I am eating.

Now I have faltered a bit off the plan. I have eaten a few fried foods and splurged on Cold Stone. I felt a twinge of regret after each. I feel that this new employment opportunity will be fun and opportunity to really put what I have learned about proper eating habits to the test. I am up for the challenge and will I will be successful.

Here are some travel tips:

• Don’t forget to drink water
• Eat every 3-4 hours
• Plan meals ahead
• Carry healthy snacks
• Don’t forget to exercise

Until the next plane lands....

Take a Bike!

I wrote about biking earlier last week, everybody is doing it including Ms. Beyonce, so it's only expected that the travel industry is listening.

Imagine, how fun would it be to ride your bike around vibrant New York City or beautiful San Diego! One of my favorite New York hotels, The Bowery Hotel is providing a fleet of complimentary gorgeous bicycles for their guests to take out. They even come with cute baskets to put your newly acquired purchases in, and because it is NYC, the lovely fire engine red bicycles come with locks and helmets.

Also on the list are Liberty Hotel in Boston, Occidental Hotel in San Diego, and Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. See, working out during your vacation can be a lot of fun, you just have to take advantage of the right elements!
