Travel on Stimulock - Helpful hints on what to eat, when you eat out.

Hey friends! With the Holiday's coming up, my guess is that you might be spending a lot of time in your car. With travel comes fast food and eating out. Understandable. I wanted to help you out so that you can eat the best you can while on the road. 

A few months back I wrote about what you can eat at Chipotle -> check it out here. Chipotle is my go-to during Stimulock if I do not want to cook, or we are out and about. Plus it's extremely delicious. 

Here are some other ideas for you. **Keep in mind that these aren't all 100% protocol, but they are as close as you might find while on the road, and better than other options.

Subway - Salad with grilled chicken, veggies, and lemon as the dressing. If you HAVE to get one of their dressings, get it on the side and dip your fork in it, in order to get the least amount of dressing as possible. 

Chipotle -  Chicken or beef, any of the salsas, half a scoop of corn, lettuce :) YUMMY!

Jimmy Johns - Turkey Un-wich w/ veggies, or a Tuna Un-wich. Have them really strain the tuna so there is minimal sauce on it. 

Applebees -  Oriental Chicken Salad - Dressing on this side, no Asian noodles, no nuts. Just lettuce, cabbage, and chicken. You can ask for tomatoes too as well. Switch out the dressing for the Balsamic Vinaigrette if you'd like, the Asian dressing that comes with this is STRAIGHT sugar.

Wendy's - 2 Value menu burgers w/ lettuce, tomato, onion (if you like it) and mustard. Toss the bun! Eat the patty and veggies. 

Chick-Fil-A - Grilled chicken sandwich with veggies. Have them wrap it in a lettuce leaf, vs. a bun. They will do it...and it will be their pleasure. ;)

Gas Station - Many truck stops will have boiled eggs and fruit for you to choose. Don't worry, the boiled eggs are fresh, just double check if it makes you feel better. 

Sit Down Restaurants - Ask for steak, chicken, or fish cooked on open flame - NO OIL, NO BUTTER, NOTHING. Just meat and heat. Ask what their veggies are cooked in, many times they will be cooked in butter. If that is the case, as for raw or steamed veggies. You can also do a salad - bring your own dressing, or use salsa.

This may all seem overwhelming right now, but trust me, you will eventually know all of this by heart, and you will be making wonderful progress so you won't care if your husband and daughter are eating french fries. Be healthy for you. If there is one thing I can stress it is that. Be healthy because you are only given one body, take care of it the best you can! If you're on Stimulock, you are already on the right track. 

You're going to do great! Stay motivated and don't feel bad about asking your practitioner for help and advice. That is what she is there for. 

Merry Christmas!!

I'm going for it.

I've decided to go for it. I've decided to lose weight with Stimulock DURING the Holiday season. I'm going to do it. I'm fully aware of how hard it is going to be, especially when I'm in Arkansas for Christmas, but I do not want to wait until 2016 to lose these extra pounds I picked up over the past year. 

So, there she is, in all of her brown glass glory. Sitting on my desk as a constant reminder to stay on track.

Crazy, I know, I am crazy to even attempt, but I figure if I do deviate from the program, I won't gain any extra weight, just add back what I've already lost. 

This is an experiment. I will let you know how it goes! 
Wish me luck! 

Merry Christmas yall!
