My Weekend

What a weekend! Started off with a great NYE! My friend Katie and I went to St. Catharines to watch the hockey game, and to attend a house party. I made sure to squeeze in an hour of cardio during the day! Although I am competing, and always make sure to eat healthy, I did indulge on Friday Night with Vodka and Water. Kept hydrated and only ~65 calories per shot, so I felt pretty good the next day!

On Saturday, my Dad picked me up to fly to Baltimore ot catch a Ravens game. I WAS SO EXCITED. He decided to challenge me to see if I could stick to me "eat-clean" diet the entire trip. OBVIOUSLY DAD! I didn't even think about going crazy, it is January 1st, 60% of the people who made resolutions the night before have already failed..... NOT ME!
First things first when I'm travelling...... I always come prepared. Homemade trail mix, protein powder, my shaker and a protein bar (just in case - usually pretty high in sugar).
This way, if I know it is a while before I can get a meal, I will at least have a little something and combat binging and salivating all over a big plate of nachos with extra cheese or some showing the street meat a little too much love.
Second, I steal........... from the all you can eat buffet! Usually they will have some kind of fruit, or in my case they had hard boiled eggs. I just took a few with me to have....... and to potentially throw at the team the Ravens were opposing.
Third - I take a look around and do not settle for eating crap. At the airport on the way home, I was hungry for breakfast and it looked like a fruit and yogurt parfait from McDonald's was going to have to do (not on my diet). I decided to wander around and behold the picture below  - I found hard-boiled eggs!
You CAN eat and workout while travelling too! Check out my "living room workout" routine which you can do anywhere.  For me, travelling doesn't mean completing undoing all of the hard work I have done over the previous months, it is just a more challenging way to stick to my goals.

Turn your resolution into a lifestyle!
