What I Eat In A Day [While Living In A Hotel]

Let's play catch up for a moment here. I've been living in a hotel for 19 days now and our Maryland house has sold. We still don't have a house yet here in Missouri but that's okay. We are actively exploring the new town and spent most of the last weekend at one of the state parks. The pup and I enjoyed some time outdoors away from these plain four walls of our hotel room.

Luckily our room has a small kitchenette with stovetop and microwave, and there is also a gas grill at our disposal. A and I have been experimenting with different meals each day and it's kind of fun to be creative away from an oven, especially since it's been so hot outside.

So if you are nosey like me, you love to see how others feed themselves and their family. With the few obstacles that I have while living in a hotel, follow along with what I eat in a day.

Breakfast
I can't get enough oatmeal. It's simple and delicious even on the hot summer mornings. The hotel we are staying at does offer a hot breakfast each morning, but I tend to just grab plain oatmeal and spice it up to my liking. You know, by adding things like fruit, yogurt, and/or peanut butter. Because really, who eats just plain oatmeal?

Snack One
It's not long after breakfast that my stomach starts to rumble. I grab whatever fresh fruit I have in the fridge. Lately it's been strawberries, cherries, or watermelon. On this particular day, I had a handful of cherries.

Lunch
Sometimes a classic sandwich is all that's needed - meat, cheese, lettuce, and bread. Pair this with some popcorn and a glass of lemon water.

Snack Two
This is the time of day that my sweet tooth really starts calling out for something sweet. One way I avoid eating an entire bar of chocolate or carton of ice cream is by reaching for Meta Appetite Control from Walgreens.

Dinner
I've been watching the Food Channel like crazy lately trying to come up with some new meals to make on the stovetop. I had a winner of a meal with Rachel Ray's Sriracha Chicken with Peanuts in Lettuce Wraps. I put my own twist on the dish by swapping out the chicken for ground turkey and added some wild rice with the lettuce wraps. This was a winner of a dish.

Dessert
Unfortunately, the hotel typically serves up warm cookies in the evenings. I just can't stay away from those because COOKIES. But A and I typically hit up the gym or the pool in the evenings so I say, eat your cookies as part of an 80:20 lifestyle.

Five Tips To Get Through A Busy Day

Hello from Missouri! We made the two-day drive through Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois to arrive in our new home state. Now begins the fun of searching for a house and establishing ourselves in the midwest once again. 

With work, house tours, paperwork, and exploring, I have some busy days ahead of me. Because of this, I wanted to share five tips that will help you get through any busy day. 

Schedule time to workout
It may not be easy to want to take some ‘unnecessary’ time for yourself when your calendar is already jammed packed. But you might notice a little boost in productivity if you just give yourself a 20-minute sweat session (squeeze in a little more time if you can).

Stay hydrated

A dehydrated mind is fatigued and can cause confusion. Try and make it a habit to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water (i.e. if you weigh 150 lbs, try to drink 75 ounces of water each day).

Don’t skip your meals

I know you won’t have time to create a five course meal, but don’t skip out on precious nutrients just because you are too busy. But I do understand that some days are just beyond crazy and will leave you wanting to reach for a donut, or a cookie, or burger, or something that is not the healthiest. However, you have other options - Meta Appetite Control from Walgreens (scroll to the end for more info).

Stay off social media

Even if this is your job. Okay, so if this is your job, you don’t have to completely stay off social media. I would suggest allowing yourself 10-15 minutes for each platform on busy days. We all know that social media can be a big black hole that will suck you in and spit you out 3 days later. By setting a timer for only 10-15 minutes, you can dedicate any remaining time to be more productive in other areas. 

Schedule your day

You can either make a to-do list or fill out your daily calendar with tasks that need to get done. Then you are able to check off each task as you complete them and can coordinate your day accordingly. I personally love being able to physically cross items off my to-do list.
