I’m heading out of town to stay in a hotel for the next 4 days so I have made a plan to ensure I stay ACTIVE during my trip.
Here it is:
1. I’m packing my workout clothes and running shoes. These are the first items to go in my suitcase so I will have NO excuse!
2. I signed up for the Blogher 5k Run/Walk on Friday morning. It starts very early in the morning but it will be worth it since I know I might not get another chance for a workout on Friday. If I can get up and run/waddle my way through the course at 6:30 am then YOU CAN TOO!
3. Since I’m traveling light and cannot bring any of my favorite exercise equipment with me, my plan is to do a lot of body weight exercises right there in my hotel room. (or in the hallways! Maybe you will join me?) A combination of lunges, squats, push ups, and tricep dips can give you a great workout without needing any special equipment. I’m also bringing my new Flip Video camera with me, so I will try to post an in-room workout video. The hotel gym is a little pricey for my taste, so all of my workouts will be created by me!
4. I will keep reminding myself that I FEEL better when I get daily exercise. My mantra is always “Never underestimate the power of a workout”!
If you are going to Blogher, I hope you stop and say hi to me. I promise to only make you do a few lunges! 
If you are staying home, please leave me a comment and let me know how you plan to stay active this week. I’d love to hear your tips!
Many thanks again to my Blogher sponsors: Vitamix, Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt, and Johnson’s Baby!

On my last trip away from home, I specifically put my running shoes and clothes in the suitcase. I only got one run in, but it was worth it. As for my workout at home, well, I stayed in bed today so I’ll need to make up for it tomorrow with a run. And I have a 5k race Saturday night.

When staying at a hotel, I do a stair workout. It works great because (sadly) few people take the stairs so I get alone time and all that jazz.

I’m not going to BlogHer b/c I’m headed to the beach for family vacation – so I have made a vow to myself that I will either walk for an hour each day or else run for a 1/2 hour. No excuses! (And hangovers be damned!)

I hadn’t heard of Blogher… but now i know.
I write music for fitness and have over 1200 downloadable mp3 musical programs. I use them myself. I lost 100 pounds writing them.
Workout Mommy is a great resource for moms from what I can see.
