For our last holiday of the summer, my husband and I will be embarking on a road trip of epic proportions (okay, we're only driving a few hours, but it will feel epic). There will be arguments over what music to listen to, when to stop for the bathroom and the purchase of gas station junk food which is, for some reason, synonymous with road trips.
With many of us hitting the road this Labor Day, there will no doubt be many arguments across the country over just these issues, but there are ways to ensure you'll have a healthy road trip. One way, of course, is to bring a cooler full of healthy snacks so you won't be tempted by the shiny, pretty boxes of snack cakes at the gas station. Sure, carrots aren't as much fun as, say, jalapeno and fire-roasted beef jerky flavored Doritoes, but they're better for your waistline and they won't stain your fingers an alarming orange color not found in nature. (Is there any chance my husband is buying this argument?)
You'll find more ideas in my article, Avoiding Weight Gain on the Road.
Are you taking a road trip this year and, if so, how will you eat healthy and stay active? Leave a comment to tell us about it.
