I’ve been doing a lot of traveling lately with trips to LA and NYC, so that means lots of time on the plane. I usually fly Southwest, which I love, but I don’t always want to fill up on peanuts and 100 calorie packs for 3.5 hours to LA. Although, I do have to give them props for offering some lower calorie options, unlike other airlines. I always plan ahead what I’m going to eat before, during and after my flight. On the way to LA this week, I ate a good lunch before I left and then packed some unsalted almonds and 3 clementines in my purse along with the bottle of water I got at the airport. The last few times I’ve flown out of LAX its an evening flight and basically will be eating dinner on the plane. So, luckily I found a good spot at LAX that had cucumber and crab sushi to go. So, I ate this along with my Fruit and Walnut Snack from McDonalds. oh and a glass of wine with my drink coupons : ) The Fruit & Walnut Snack is one of my favorite fast-food options since it has a good mix of carbs (via fruit) and protein (via walnuts) and is only 210 calories.
About Me
Cari Shoemate
Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
