\"Healthy<\/p>\n

Once again I’m blogging on the road (currently at Starbucks with a delicious no-sugar iced coffee). Most of my readers probably know this already, but I sing in a family band. We’ve been singing together for years and touring around US and Canada. It’s an amazing adventure.<\/p>\n

This tour we’re going across Canada, from Saskatchewan to P.E.I. I love seeing more of my beautiful Canada and this time, I have 7 weeks to do it.<\/p>\n

\"Leaving<\/p>\n

Although saying goodbye to family, friends, and my home is always a little sad…the adventure is always worth it. Traveling is a rich experience…and for me, it’s essential…I’m not a homebody.<\/p>\n

The one thing that can be a challenge with traveling is eating healthy…but at the same time, it’s kind of a fun challenge…trying to pick out the lowest sugar snack at the gas station, choosing a low-calorie, protein rich meal at a restaurant\/hotels, and buying veggies\/fruits at the grocers. I love it.<\/p>\n

This isn’t to say I don’t indulge. Part of the fun of travel is trying new foods. Part of the experience of P.E.I is their creamy fish chowders or a small town’s well known apple fritters.<\/p>\n

My motto is eat healthy most of the time – and then it won’t matter when you enjoy something more decadent. Food is a beautiful gift from God and He wants us to treat it like a gift…enjoy everything in moderation.<\/p>\n
