3 Lazy Girl Hacks Stay Healthy While Traveling Even If You Always Overeat & Get Sick!
I know I’m not the only one.
I be living it up on vacation, food-wise especially. Late morning, late nights, dessert whenever, cheese galore.
I’m not even trying to count calories or track my meals on my WW app.
However, bc diabetes is a reality on both sides of my family and I was prediabetic at one time I can’t go too crazy.
I still have to be aware of my health goals and not forget that my blood sugar could go haywire at any moment.
So because of that, there are certain things that we can do while we are on vacay to keep ourselves (sort of) healthy(ish).
And not only that but I used to get a cold when I went on vacation! Go figure! So frustrating. So I also wanted to find some ways to prevent sickness while I traveled.
These are the ideas I’ve used to keep sickness at bay, be “health-conscious” and still have fun while I travel! And luckily none of them are really that hard to do…so let’s see what they are!

Are you making a weight loss plan for next year?
Researching different diets and meal plans to see which one you want to try? I feel you.

5 Delicious Weight Loss Smoothie Ideas To Reach Your Goal Weight
How To Make Smoothies For Weight Loss More Filling And Nutritious
Raise your hand high if you’re typically still hungry after drinking a smoothie?
You can’t see me but my hand is raised so high right now, even as I’m typing. Not sure how I managed that 😀. Because I work a typical job (for now), I have to eat when I’m told.
So I eat breakfast at 6 am and I eat lunch at 12 pm. That’s a long time in between meals at least in my opinion.
As we are trying to get physically healthy, what we eat should be one of our top concerns. The idea of drinking smoothie is lovely but it’s not going to hold many people over until lunchtime, especially if lunch is 6 hours away.
Of course, snacks are an option and can be healthy but let’s be real here. Many of our snacks have enough calories to be considered meals. It’s a good idea to be quite judicious with our snacks.
Given all of this, I was delighted when I came across a video from Pickup Limes on YouTube that mentioned adding this to our smoothies to make them more filling. I’ll share what “this” is below.
Then I will share some more ways you can add protein and fiber to your smoothie to make them more filling.
Don’t have a way to make a smoothie? Definitely, check out the Nutribullet which is amazing.

5 Healthy Weight Loss Protein Powders Without Stevia
Protein Powders Without Stevia
Looking for a healthy & affordable protein powder without stevia? It wasn’t easy but I’ve found multiple protein powders without stevia! One even helps with weight loss so stay tuned to discover what they are!
I know I’m not the only one.
I can tell that other people hate stevia too because the first search suggestion in Google when you type in “protein powders w” without is the first suggestion not with.
That could be for two reasons
1. Protein powders with stevia are ubiquitous.
Stevia is the healthy sweetener of choice for most protein powders.
So protein powders with stevia are not hard to find.
2. Stevia is well gross. At least to me.
It’s groddy. It ruins & overpowers everything that it’s in.
It leaves a bitter aftertaste that’s hard to escape.
Let’s face it…Stevia is dangerous to your tastebuds (or at least to mine)!Continue reading
