Clean Eating Travel Tips

So this week we are out of town. We're visiting some friends. Do you get nervous about what you're going to eat while out of town?? I know I do. I hate to ruin any progress that I have made recently, but I don't want to be ungrateful either. So what do I do??

I pack plenty of snacks, order carefully at restaurants, and offer to make my own dishes when I can to ensure I am staying on track. I try not to stress if I cannot eat as clean as I do at home :)

Here is a list of what I like to pack!


  • Raw Almonds
  • Fruit - apples are my FAV to bring along because I feel like they keep better
  • Skinny Pop
  • Kale Chips
  • Shakeology - I usually bring a travel blender, but you can also just bring a shaker cup
  • Tuna Packets - this way you can just order a salad and add this to it for lean protein
  • I also have a small cooler that runs on the cigarette lighter of my vehicle so I try to pack a first full days's worth of food
  • Dried fruit
  • Dried veggies
  • Think Thin Bars
I like that all of this stuff keeps well if I do not have a refrigerator available to me. I try to make sure I eat my veggies while out of town to ensure I stay "regular." I eat small servings of unclean items or leave them out all together.

Here is a picture of bad of food goodies :)


Being on vacation does NOT mean that you have to sacrifice healthy living! :)

Happy 4th of July!

It's been a while...

Hello there! It's been a while huh? Um I think about 3 years!! A lot has happened in those 3 years...3 places of work, pregnancy, and mom life! So what's new?? I worked at a small outpatient clinic...didn't like it! Went to an awesome hospital in the city...LOVED it!! Then after having my son took a position at a local hospital...only 8 minutes from home vs the hospital in the city which was 55 minutes on a good traffic day! I found out I was prego a few days before Christmas 2016...yes it was planned. For YEARS, we said NO kids ever! My father died in 2015 and my whole thought process on kiddos changed! Landon David arrived 8/14/17 via planned c section...he was breech! I stressed myself out incredibly too much about sleep, breastfeeding, being perfect, etc AND I suffered from Postpartum Depression and Anxiety! One thing I have learned about Motherhood is that you can plan, but you have to expect the unexpected!! Once I accepted this, my anxiety died down A LOT...
