Lunchtime lessons… If you allow travel/vacations/holidays/celebrations to lead to taking steps backwards with progress, the responsibility is 100% on YOU 🤷♀️ It’s not that “there was nothing that fit my goals to eat”… It’s not that “people were pushing food on me”… It’s not that you “had to eat some of everything”… It’s that you CHOSE to make that your reality 💯 There’s absolutely nothing wrong with consciously making the decision to step off the path and eat whatever you want at any time. But, if that’s what you choose to do, you can’t be upset or frustrated with the outcomes afterwards 😬 You don’t HAVE to eat all the things. You can stay on plan and maintain progress in any of those situations. If progress is truly worth it to you 🔥 This picture is six full days of traveling to and from DC and spending every day in the city… TWELVE meals out over those six days requires a good amount of planning. Looking up menus, bringing protein sources with us, and saying no to foods that simply weren’t worth it 👍 The result? Coming home exactly where I left off with progress and composition. Having zero regrets. That is winning. That is First In Nutrition 😊 #thisisfirstin #thisistheway

Ever wondered how cruise ships nail the perfect amount of food to order for their guests? It's all about precision planning! From analyzing past passenger data to factoring in dietary preferences and the time of year (more kids in the summer and during holidays means more hot dogs, pizza and fries), cruise lines use advanced algorithms to ensure there's plenty of deliciousness without waste. Bon appétit, smooth sailing! #customerserviceproblems #customerservicetips #customerservices #customersatisfaction #customerexperience #customerappreciation #customerfeedback #customerreview #customerjourney #customertestimonial #happycustomers #smallbusiness #salesstrategy #publicspeaker #speakerlife #motivationalspeaking #successminded #successmotivation #successhabits #leadershipskills #morethanperfectservice

"Food is our common ground, a universal experience." - James Beard 👩🍳✨ As the workweek draws to a close, it's time to start planning your next culinary adventure. This weekend, explore the diverse local flavors right in your own backyard! Why?

Our top 5 Sunmer Travel Food Hacks to Keep You Feeling Good Without Trying In this photo I’m on top of the world as we say goodbye to the Andes mountains and descend below the clouds to the Ecuador flats and hectare after hectare of Cacao trees, Bananas, and Sugarcane. Yesterday we flew from Ecuador to Pittsburgh for our summer extended family time. Airports, travel, and food aren’t easy. Finding vegetables at the Miami airport felt like a treasure hunt! Restaurants often miss the mark when it comes to health too. The truth is that the best way to support our well-being is to make our own meals. As we navigate the next month of travel and family, we’ll be focusing on a few food strategies to keep us on track without trying too hard: 1. Fruit is a pre-packaged finger-food that is easy to transport. 2. Anything can go on a salad-including canned beans for protein. Pre-cut vegetables make this even easier. 3. Anything can go in a wrap too! Add sprouts whenever possible. 4. Try to eat a rainbow of natural foods each day (No, this does not include Skittles!). 5. Finger foods like carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, celery, cherry tomatoes are easy to grab snacks too. Bonus # 6: cut a watermelon in half and grab a spoon. I can’t wait for this one today! What’s your favorite healthy summer food tip?
