I travel a bit with my job. Have I ever shared that with you? I suppose not.
I work for a wellness company. Yes, I get to live and breathe wellness in my work-life and I LOVE it! It is such an exciting and fulfilling field to be in. And naturally, this fits with my own chosen healthy lifestyle.
But, in instances when I am on the road - perhaps, several back to back trips - I have to find ways to maintain my health despite traveling.
I consider work travel different that vacation travel. In that, when vacationing, I give myself the allowance to indulge a bit more than I normally would. Have to take advantage of the opportunity to experience a new city and culture through their food, right? It's my favorite part of vacation travel!
But, when traveling for work, I approach these days no different than being at home. Meaning, I seek out healthy food options. So, what does a gal do when traveling and hungry?
Starbucks. For breakfast anyway. Even though it's a chain (and I typically prefer small businesses), they have oatmeal on the menu. And I can add in nuts for extra protein. A good start to a full work day.
Here's to making healthy choices - on the road or otherwise!
Hard to avoid an occasional chain- terrific choice! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree! It is hard to avoid chains (although I don't mind them) and I have recently become a HUGE fan of oatmeal. I keep saying I'm going to try Starbucks. Maybe tomorrow morning! Very interesting about your job...I'd love for you to post more about it!
ReplyDeleteI agree, chains are hard to avoid. No matter how you feel about them. Especially when traveling!
ReplyDeleteAnn, glad you are interested in my job. I will try to figure out some ways to 'work it in'. :)
