jen2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi All: I'm Jen and I begin my program on August 1. On August 3 I travel by plane for a visit with my parents. I am not so much worried about the actual time with my parents as I plan to take over cooking while I am there, but I am worried about the travel to and from. I worry about my travel days, being stuck at the airport. I have beef jerkey, nut mix, celery with almond butter (can I have raisins?) and of course water. I would love some additional suggestions. My other concern is my post workout. I workout alot. In the mornings, 6 days a week, I work out 90-120 minutes hard, boot camp, cardio, strength, running, or biking, usually a combination of them. In the evenings, it's swimming, hot yoga, biking, step, but not with the intensity I use in the mornings. The progam says no to whey smoothies. I am used to having a spinach, berry, banana, (total fruit is about 1 cup) almond milk, and whey smoothie in the mornings. I do this because of easy preparation - time is short between my workout and work, AND it keeps me sustained until 11:30 AM Lunch. I have no intention of altering my workout schedule during the whole30. I of course would love permission to keep in the smoothies, but I have a feeling there will be other suggestions. So if you have suggestions, please share! I am choosing to participate in the whole30 because I want the accountabliity, and I know I will feel better without all he processed food. I also have osteo arthritis in my knees and I am hoping to see an improvement with those. Weight loss would also be great. I look forward to everyone's suggestions and seeing their success!

cdauk Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hey. Good luck on the whole30 journey Jen. whey is out because of the dairy component. You would probably benefit from having a hardboiled egg or two and some nuts before your workouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnyFat Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Sorry - I have no suggestions as far as the smoothie goes. I workout hard daily and am used to having a whey protein smoothie as a meal replacement before or after the gym. I have seen one or two recommendations to blend sweet potato and raw egg whites but that seems hard for me to stomach As far as traveling-by-plane-food, are you just taking snacks or will you be traveling all day and need a full meal? Not that it is all that similar but I made a 4.5 hour drive yesterday (not ideally, the first day of my Whole30) and I ate almonds and cherries as a snack and had a full meal of spinach, roasted chicken, grape tomatoes and avo during the drive. You could do carrot sticks? Take a little homemade quac and eat virtually anything with it - broccoli florets, sweet peppers, green beans. Just depends on how much prep you're willing to do, I guess.
