Traveling, Whole30-Style
So we started the Whole30 on Monday and then today (Tuesday), I left for a work trip. I spent most of my time last week and this weekend preparing a meal plan for my family (and all of you!), shopping, and prepping food. And honestly did not think about how I was going to do Whole30 on the road until this morning. But I’ve got a plan and I’m pretty proud of myself so far!
Tonight for dinner, I brought some Bilinski’s chicken sausages, spinach and Trader Joe’s deli mustard and ate them after I arrived at my hotel. Then, I happily went to a restaurant with my co-workers, drank hot tea and knitted while my co-workers partook of the salad bar. I could’ve also brought my own dressing to the restaurant and gotten my salad bar on. However, I have more control over food quality by bringing my own. And since public health is my jam, I am almost always skeptical of salad bars.
I was peckish when I got back, but I held off on snacking so I could visit the fitness room (and see which key piece of equipment was missing here).
Tangent Alert!
Last week’s hotel revealed only 5lb or 25+lb weights, which led to many, many reps with the baby 5 pounders. Tonight, the missing piece was a yoga ball… but there was a stand! Which I think shows hope. 🙂 The full set of medicine balls was a nice surprise, too!
Anyway… after my workout, I snacked on a hardboiled egg, banana and cashew butter and am now sipping happily on another cup of hot tea (decaf… it’s getting late!).
Tomorrow morning, I will raid the hotel breakfast for fruit to eat with my hard boiled eggs and coffee. And for lunch, I packed leftover salmon cakes and a garden salad with Tessamae’s lemon garlic dressing. (Most of Tessemae’s dressings
