Winter in nearly over. I don't know what it is like in your town or village but here in Mosman "everyone" literally heads over seas for a European Summer Holiday, so I have been busy prepping a few of my coaching clients for their travel ahead. I wanted to share these tips with you.
My two darlings and I went on an overseas holiday recently and these are tools I have taken for granted over my own healthand fitness journey, and that I have practiced for many years without thinking anything of it.
I have to say my girls do notice and I guess raising them up around this way of life one day down the track when they are older or heading off on an overseas holiday as an adult hopefully they will remember some helpful tips.
Here is what body building helped me to learn back in my twenties. I travelled a lot for work and it had to become part of my life to pack and organise ahead how I was going to travel, eat out, and stay on track.
Let me know how you go, just reply to the email and touch base anytime. I welcome your feedback and love to hear how you are.
By the way if you are feeling off track or needing a kick start do let me know so we can hop on a call together and discuss you goals.
Every gone away on that dream holiday and returned a few kg heavier. It happens to all of us, especially if you are flying far. Just stepping on the plane your fluid retention goes up. Which means the scales go up?
You know how passionate I am about throwing the scales away and using the mirror or your clothes as a guide. When you can look in the mirror and see health vitality and a fit toned slender body coming back at you, you have won. It doesn’t matter what the scales say. Try not to define yourself by a number, who cares what that number is. We are all different, sizes, height, bone density. Muscle weighs heavier than fat, it is a fact. So, while you are travelling you may increase your weight a little so it is very important NOT weigh yourself on your arrival home.
Check out all my travelling tips to keep you fit, healthy and feeling happy and amazing while travelling so you can enjoy the fullness of you holiday.
Week prior travel
I have eaten very clean all the way to LA choosing the vegan option with raw fresh humus and fresh raw vegetables sticks and fruit served by ordering ahead through my airline.
Pre-order Vegan Option with your airline.
The day of travel and for the plane
Important to prepare all your food the night before just like you would normally.
Pack solids rather than liquids as you cannot get through international security with fluids
As a tip, you can make a green juice/smoothie to take to the airport but be prepared to have this finished by security.
Eat as structured as you can be leading up to your flight, and the day before, knowing that the day of travel wont quite be the same.
Even though you have ticked vegan, don’t ever rely on plane food to be exactly as you anticipated. Pack your back up plan, see below.
Take a food bag specifically for your healthy nutrition and tea cup with plenty of herbal teas, so you can sit back relax with all your comforts
What food & drinks to pack for the plane
I travel a lot and when I was competing in Fitness Comps in my 20’s over 20 years ago I learnt fast never to trust plane food, I did this every time and still do today.
Pack protein powder, in a container you can easily mix –see my shakers
Pack your green tea sachets or green tea bags + camomile tea for sleep time
Punnet of strawberries are great for sweet tooth moments
Dried dates, but not too many, depending on length of the flight, 5 dates should be
plenty
Mix of nuts & seeds, goji berries
Water can be tricky, I always try to remember to buy a litre once through the
security, as you just never seem to get enough water on the plane in to your body.
Pack a throw away container of Fresh greens, I take spinach leaves as you can roll
the dates and almond in the spinach.
If you are eating protein, pack 1-2 chicken breast pre-sliced or diced. (fish too smelly)
Don’t worry too much about carbs as you are sitting and relaxing, you don’t need the
heavier carbs, but if you are travelling with your hubby or partner, you could pack a container of sweet potato chips pre-baked the night before with rosemary, coconut oil and Himalayan salt. This would be a good idea when you are on a 12-hour flight.
Have a sweet tooth- you could always pack a raw vegan protein ball (see recipe)
More Travel Tips
Eliminate jet lag tip- I have tested and tried this
No bread, carbs, only wat fruit and vegetables, load up on water and herbal teas
Listen to meditation music and meditate
Stretch on the plane and move every so often.
Set your time clock and time zone best you can straight away so
you can trick your mind you have switched time zones.
Healthy Nutrition Meditation and Sleep is the key
