How do I travel?

How does someone travel and still be healthy and stay fit? I'll tell you one thing, it takes a little thought and preparation and a strong will-power.
I'm going to Boston, MA for 4 days and for the first time, my husband and I will be traveling on a plane with our 3 and 1/2 month old, which is going to be my biggest challenge next to eating enough and staying healthy.
Now, first of all I want to tell you that I will still enjoy myself, cheat a little on food(much more than I would at home) and not exercise nearly as hard or as long. I will though, pack some healthy snacks, stop at the grocery store at least once while I'm there and workout a few times for 20-40 minutes either in my hotel room or in their gym.
Here are a few tips to traveling, without going overboard.
Pack baggies of your protein powder measured out and bring your shaker bottle. You can also bring your "Magic Bullet" on the plane, I've done it numerous times.
Pack baggies of 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 scoop of protein powder, 1-2 tbsp of flax seed meal, and 1-2 tbsp of your favorite dried fruit. Make sure to bring a ziplock bowl with a lid and spoon and you can add 1 cup of boiling hot water from anywhere and let it sit for 15 minutes and eat. It's a great on the go or an airplane meal.
Pack up measured nuts, bring some whole fresh fruit like apples, oranges and bananas, rice cakes and almond butter in a plastic container.
You can bring protein bars, but make sure you are eating high protein, low to zero added sugar bars, also you can buy protein pudding and pre-made shakes but you MUST check these.
If you are worried about meals, you can pre make rice, chicken, and veggies and put them in baggies and freeze them a few days before and put them in a soft cooler and by the time you want to eat them they will be thawed or ready to refrigerate in your hotel room.
Make sure that you continue to eat every 2-3 hours like you do at home and don't over eat when you hit the restaurants. Ask for your food to be prepared dry with little to no oil or butter, eat your carbs in the morning through mid day and more veggies in place of your carbs in the evening. Eat protein at every meal and if you need to eat a dessert only get a small one and share it with your partner and don't eat it at every meal(that's over board and totally unnecessary)
Also, when you travel plan to walk as many places as possible, plan active activities and bring 1 or 2 bands in two different strengths and do exercises in your hotel room, in the airport or where ever you have room and time. You can always squeeze in a 20-30 minute circuit training program with all upper body, all lower body or total body.
So now that I gave you some good travel tips, I will do the same as I make my first trip as a family away from home. I hope you are able to travel and stay healthy and fit too, whether it's this weekend or in the future. We all need a vacation away from home and stress and we all can stay fit and healthy away from home too....
Happy travels everyone.
