June was a full month of business and leisure travel—and wonderful meals enjoyed without the bitter taste of guilt to spoil them. Since people sometimes ask, “What exactly do you eat?” I’ve decided to chronicle my recent trips with a tip-a-day throughout July to show you Am I Hungry?® mindful eating strategies in action.
I’ll be sharing short stories, tips and photos based on my recent travels to Kansas City, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, California, Nevada, and Washington. During July, I’m also headed to Ohio and New York City (my first visit there).
Several of my friends have committed to blogging daily throughout the month of July too. Take a moment to visit their blogs during our “blogathon”:

Personally, I’m probably boring when I’m on a trip.
I try to NOT eat when I’m on a trip, that way I know I won’t get into trouble.

Michelle,
I’ve been reading your blog and I kept getting caught by the areas talking about quantity of food. My husband is a John Wayne so my family has watched True Grit more times than I can count. But in there is one of my favorite quotes. It comes from Mattie Rosse, the young woman traveling with the Duke trying to find her Dad’s killer. Anyhow she said “Enough is as good as a feast.”
Isn’t that the truth?
Keep on sharing your most important message!

The timing of this series could not be more perfect as many folk begin to travel and can use the reminders of why we eat and how the food can be a part of the experience–not its sole focus. I can’t wait to hear what you ate in Fiji!
Thanks for the great tips, Michelle!

When I was doing art festivals, it was hard to eat good food. The food available at art shows is often tempting and loaded with fat. It’s hard to crunch of carrot sticks and feel virtuous when the smell of french fries wafts past your booth. I still travel, but not to art festivals. I’ve found it’s a lot easier to take a bag of muncies on the plane and kill my appetite for eating in airports. The bag of munchies contains nuts, dried fruit, and seeds. It keeps you from getting too hungry. I’m surprised how well nuts make you feel satisfied.

What a novel idea - to be traveling and blogging and sharing the joys of being a “foodie” around the world. Enjoy!
