Archives for November 2015

I’ve been through a LOT of trial and error, especially when it comes to diets, healthy food, fast food, and failure. I’ve learned that an indulgence is only worth it if you ABOSLUTELY love what you’re eating. So here are some thing’s I’ve learned along the way…

 

That gas station subway sandwich- not worth it!

That stale bagel and cream cheese at the free continental breakfast- not worth it!

That day old dried out coffee cake, the last one left, from Starbucks- not worth it!

 

If you can agree with me there, feel free to nod and say “Heck Yeah.” Ok great, I’ve told you what’s not worth it (from experience), but what’s the solution? Have no fear, I’ve found some Healthy Hotel Habits throughout my travels and made a video to share my favorite strategy for eating healthy while traveling.

It’s NOT expensive. It’s NOT time consuming. It’s NOT difficult. Summary- it’s totally manageable 🙂

Check out the video below where I show you how:

I know from experience that one of the worst feelings is taking 3 really difficult steps forward and sliding back 5 from one bad mistake. Translation? Working out and eating healthy whole food meals for 2 weeks straight and then upsetting your routine and body with crappy fast food for a weekend of traveling. Trust me- it’s not worth it!

With a mindset shift to start thinking ahead and preparing, you can keep your healthy routine momentum and implement Healthy Hotel Habits.

Have any tricks to stay on track of your own? Email me back and share the love! Living a healthy lifestyle and living a FUN life are not mutually exclusive; you just need to right tools to stick with it!

 

Enjoy the video and remember to live your WHOLE life!

I made this video for you with one of the easiest ways to pack more protein into your breakfast!

 

This past weekend I went on my first camping trip! My fiancé convinced me it would be fun and I was up for the challenge! I was also in charge of the food 🙂 So I knew I had to bring something that was portable, that wouldn’t spoil and that would sustain us so we could do all the activities that we wanted to. So for breakfast I decided to make Cinnamon Coconut Sweet Quinoa Breakfast Porridge!
Usually when we think of cozy, warming breakfast options, especially in Fall when the leaves are changing and the weather starts getting cooler, we automatically turn to oatmeal. But with the right spices and ingredients, you can make quinoa into a breakfast porridge. With this you’ll set yourself up for success the rest of the day with a protein-packed breakfast!

We made this breakfast over a campfire, so if you have a stove and a pot this will be a breeze!

Check out the video where I show you how to make Cinnamon Coconut Sweet Quinoa Breakfast Porridge !
