Traveling again equals more planning and dedication

Well I'm traveling again, this time I am about 14 and 1/2 weeks out from my first show and I'm visiting family and friends in Michigan and taking care of some business. This was a last minute trip, but much needed. So, with that said I have planned very well for this trip because I need to keep on my normal daily routine and I will also be traveling alone with my 4 month old while my husband stays back home, which will be a challenge in its self, but I'm always ready for a challenge so bring it on. I am all packed, one bag holding everything for the both of us, a stroller, a diaper bag and most importantly a COOLER. I packed 5 days worth of work out clothes, I found a gym so I can head there as soon as I get off the plane for my for Wednesday cardio workout. I planned my trip with exercise in mind and created a plan in order to make it to the gym and get my normal work out in and do everything else I need to do in the mean time. I also packed my cooler full of raw protein bars, oatmeal packs with whey protein, flax meal and a few raisins, all of my whey and casein protein bagged and ready to blend, water packed tuna and salmon, some frozen banana's, rice cakes, protein pudding and pre made bags of chicken, brown rice and cooked veggies which is early meal ready. I also bring a ziplock bowl, plastic silverware, my shaker bottle to fill up with water and my supplements. This way I don't skip a meal and when I need to eat I'm good to go. I give myself a meal to eat out for lunch, with the idea in mind it will be clean and including some carbs, protein and a little bit of healthy fats. I will also stop and pick up a salad or steamed vegetables to eat with my tuna or salmon for dinner. With a little bit of planning and a list to make sure I don't forget anything I can continue to keep living my healthy and clean lifestyle without getting off track even when I'm 1200 hundred miles from home. If I can do it by myself with a 4 month old I believe anyone else can do it. All you need is a little planning and determination and motivation to keep yourself going strong.
