Top tips to stay healthy while traveling

So you have to head out of town for work or fun but you are 30 days into your 90 day workout program, or maybe you just got your momentum going and don't want to lose it.  Don't panic, I can help!

Here are my TOP TIPS for staying healthy while traveling:

1)  Bring along as many healthy quick and easy meals and snacks as you can.  This is especially helpful when flying.  Those airport restaurants are not only gross, but they are usually pretty bad for you.  I like to pack a salad with the ingredients all separated out in baggies so that the lettuce doesn't get soggy.  I also like fresh cut up fruit, nuts, beef jerky, celery and hummus.  Put it all into a small soft lunch tote or cooler and throw it in your carry on.  Remember if you are flying, all liquids (think salad dressing, hummus etc) need to be 3 oz or less.  They sell lots of individual little packets at the store, you just have to look.

2)  If you have room for it, bring a small Magic Bullet to make quick and healthy smoothies or shakes in your hotel room as a snack.  Mine fits in my suitcase no problem.  Just grab some ice from the ice machine and whip up something yummy. 

3)  Bring your workout with you!  If you follow a DVD program, bring your laptop and play the DVD in your hotel room.  Resistance bands are perfect for a weight substitute and will fit very easily in your suitcase.  No workout program?  No problem.  Again just bring a set of resistance bands and do a series of arm curls, pull downs (throw the bands over a door jamb in your room) shoulder raises.  Then throw in some push ups and sit ups and you have your very own in hotel workout.  Save money on paying for the use of the hotel gym (if they have one).  Besides, getting your workout in first thing in the morning will help you make sure you get it done.  No having to take the elevator down to the floor that the gym is on and waste your time!

4)  Bring your lunch/dinner with you.  Pack Shakeology on your trip (Pre-measured in little baggies) and use your Magic Bullet to make up a meal of Shakeology.  Take it with you when you head out and you have yourself a quick meal without having to stop somewhere unhealthy. 

Travelling can really wreak havoc on your waistline and thwart all of the hard work you have been putting in.  Using my tips, you can help yourself stay healthy and fit while travelling!

To your health!

The dreaded weight loss plateau! Eeeek!

We've all been there.  After months of hardwork and effort, we step on the scale and....nothing.  No movement.  But you've been busting your booty working out and eating healthy, so what gives???

Here are 5 tips to help you bust through that frustrating plateau!!

1.  Ignore the scale and pay attention to measurements instead.  As we get in shape, we gain muscle where fat used to be and as we all know, muscle weighs more than fat.  So keep track of your measurements and you may see that while the scale may not be moving, your body shape is changing and leaning out.


2.  Eat more protein.  Research suggests that shifting fat and carbohydrate calories to protein calories may help weight loss.  But too much protein causes health problems – stick to 20% of your daily calories from protein. If you are eating 1500 calories per day, 20% is 300 calories – and at 4 calories per gram that equals about 75 grams of protein per day.

3.  Add weights.  One of the best ways to overcome a plateau is to increase your resistance or weight while exercising.   Exercise both burns calories and builds muscle.  The more muscle you have, the higher your Basic Metabolic Rate.  Increase the resistance or weights while training and you will increase your muscle mass and metabolism.

4.  Change your routine.  Changing your physical activity routine, your diet or both can be a great way to overcome a weight loss plateau.  Despite the lack of scientific support for this technique most fitness experts agree that it is worth trying.  Alternate physical activities (both aerobic exercises and weight lifting) to work different muscle groups and keep things interesting!  Try something you haven't done before.  Bottom line, mix things up to get your body moving in a way that it is not used to!

5.  Drink more water.  Did you know you should be drinking half of your body weight in water every single day.Water is important for more than just hydration.  When we are losing weight, water is generated in the body as a normal part of fat metabolism.  This can cause unwanted water-related weight gain.  The solution is not less water, but more water to encourage our body to excrete more water and reach a healthy water balance.  Additionally, when fat cells shrink they release toxins that need to be eliminated by our liver, kidneys, skin and digestive tract.  If we don’t drink enough water the toxins build up and may interact negatively with our hormones and cause increased fat storage.  Drinking water also helps us feel full and regulate our appetite.  I like to drink a glass of water before every meal.

To your health!
