On the Road Again

Okay, so it's a LITTLE early in the blog to be going on a hiatus, but I wouldn't exactly call this a hiatus. Jeff and I are hitting the road to live up north for the summer, and I just wanted to let everyone know that my posting's going to be a little screwy for the next few days. I will be sending updates from my phone, but I obviously can't blog as extensively. But I'm definitely looking at this road trip as an opportunity to push myself to continue with my weight loss goals, and I do NOT plan on cheating. As we all know, road trips are a great opportunity to hit up interesting restaurants, try different foods, and of course, there's the fast food factor. But I don't want to fall into the trap of eating breakfast at McDonald's, lunch at Burger King, and dinner at some sketchy gas station where they sell "Chicken ParmASIAN" sandwiches that could probably survive a nuclear holocaust. In preparation for our trip, Jeff and I did a little bit of grocery shopping, where we picked up Special K bars, almonds, protein bars, and chicken for homemade chicken salad (I will be posting detailed recipes for a lot of the foods I eat after we get back). Now we obviously don't plan on surviving on just that for two days, but I'm hoping that these snacks will be enough to keep us satisfied during the day so we don't have to resort to unhealthy eating. I'm a little disappointed that I won't be able to work out for a couple of days, just because I know it's going to be that much harder once I get back, but I'm definitely determined to keep up with my fitness plan once I get home. So wish me luck on my trip, and I can't wait to get back to post even better foods and tips for you to follow with me! :)
