Hello my lovelies! Hope everyone's holidays were happy and healthy!
This past weekend, I went to California with my family to visit my grandparents and attend a Los Angeles Kings business meeting with the Executives of the Kings :O I also was able to see headquarters of Quest Nutrition! Safe to say. it was so fun!

As fun as vacation was.... it can be very stressful with food for me. How will I get what I need on the plane? Long car rides=snacks! What about at the hockey game.. what will the Arena have? Not to mention no exercise for 3 days is very hard for me mentally still... Do I deserve to eat after sitting all day? Should I eat a snack? Am I really hungry?
Well to combat many of these thought I ensured to pack many pre measured items that fit my macros.. fail to prepare=preparing to fail! So I prepped a nice goodie bag! All things that I can easily take on a plane, snack on, heat up with water, and not messy.

By bringing these things, I made sure I could meet my macros and fuel my body on my long plane trips and car rides :)
As for eating out? Well I tried to have some fun and just listen to my hunger cues (:O shocker I know).. I even tried Sushi at the Staples Center!!! hahaha only in LA!
Did I struggle? YES.. did I overcome a lot of negative ED voices? YES! Was it stressful? OF COURSE! BUT I tried to just listen to what my body wanted, enjoy my vacation, and have support from my family! Safe to say...California I love your warmth :)
Well that's how vacations go for me right now... overtime I hope that I can breath even easier on vacations and not have to worry about food or exercise at all.. but baby steps in recovery! Sometimes small steps are good!
XOXO Live fit, free, and love life!
