The Rules

I plan on continuing to stay in the same hotel in Southern Maryland.  Therefore, there are a few constraints  for this Healthy Hotel Living Plan:
  • My "kitchen" consists of a mini-fridge with no freezer, a microwave, and a coffee pot.  Since I don't drink coffee, the coffee pot is really a just means to boil water.
  • The hotel gym has an elliptical trainer, treadmill, and medicine balls.
  • I purchased a yoga mat during my first trip out, so I can take that to yoga classes (I found a studio with pretty poor hours) or back to my hotel room.
  • I subscribe to Netflix streaming.  Why does that matter?  Because I have found Netflix has a pretty decent selection of exercise videos with varying workout times.  I can get a 10 to 60 minute workout in depending on my time constraints.
  • There is a Pilates studio in town where I can sign up for private or semi-private lessons.  I already have a coworker willing to join me (yay!).
  • My per diem is $61/day.  I'd prefer my total food and exercise expenses to stay within the total per diem for the trip.  
I think my first task is to create a grocery list.  Breakfast, lunch, mid-afternoon snacks, and dinner.  I'll post my plan soon.  Happy Hotel Living!
