Day 4 - Healthy Planning Keeps the Junk Food Away?

Breakfast has mostly consisted of fresh fruit this week, although today I had some Greek yogurt with caramelized almonds.

I think this yogurt is really yummy - the almonds are amazing. I really like how high in protein Greek yogurt is compared to regular yogurt.  I didn't really even like Greek yogurt when I first tried it, but now I couldn't even tell you the last time I ate regular yogurt.  That boost in protein is definitely appreciated; being vegetarian, I need to be more mindful about getting protein in my diet more regularly.

So far, so good on being healthy.

But here's the problem. Tomorrow I'm driving up to Michigan.  And it's going to be an 8-hour drive round-trip. What is my favorite thing to do during road trips? Well, besides sing along to the radio, I would have to say eat. And the bad kind of eat, like grabbing some cheese sticks at Arby's or a Frappucino at Starbucks. Plus, I already have a list of like three restaurants I want to stop at along the way. The plan is to bring a cooler so that leftovers won't be an issue and I won't feel pressured to eat more than I need to. I think I will definitely need to plan ahead to make sure I have healthy snacks on hand, but I'm thinking this trip is definitely going to have me tapping into my cheat meal (or meals!).
