Hotel breakfast: Holiday Inn Express is not stellar in their options. Cereal, cinnamon rolls, bread of every kind, muffins, high sugar yogurt, biscuits and gravy, eggs, and either bacon or sausage. There was a fruit bowl found in the lobby.
What did I have? Eggs, breakfast meat, a piece of fruit, water, coffee. One morning, I had a Chobani yogurt that I brought.
Drinks: I feel like I couldn't get enough water while I was traveling! My water bottle was always with me.
Lunch/ Supper: Various restaurants. I'm good at ordering off the menu. Usually a salad with protein in it, light on the dressing. Iced tea or water to drink. I usually look for basic things like a meat main dish with veggies on the side if I'm not getting salad.
Snacks: I brought loads of healthy snacks to the hotel. Veggies, fruit, cheese, yogurt, nuts. Easy to grab and go.
We attended a family funeral where the food was catered in. Luckily, there were basic meat options and veggies. Corn, potatoes, and dessert were the things I "sampled" and tried to keep small portions. In a time of sorrow, it's easy to turn to food for comfort.
After days of this nutrition, I was ready to be home and in my own cooking zone. Even though I thought I did a fair job of eating while away, I felt disgusting. I felt like I had gained five pounds of fluid and had digestive problems. I've been in the detox zone for a few days now, eating fresh fish, cooking from scratch, and in no hurry to eat out anytime soon.
Whatever life throws your way, do the best you can with what is in front of you.
