First of all, I wanted to thank you all, as usual, for all your awesome comments on my stomach update. You are all SO helpful and it feels good to know that I’m not alone!
So for today’s WIAW, I wanted to show what I had on vacation. And as you all know, I introduced gluten back into my diet and was fine!
It felt great to not have to worry about everything that I put into my mouth. I definitely enjoyed myself this weekend with a nice little balance of healthy, unhealthy, and listening to my body. That’s the way to go! ; )
Head on over to Jenn’s to check out all the other great WIAW posts.
The first day I showed you all my eats here when we were on the way to Gainesville.
Day 2:
This was orientation day. Breakfast was served at the college, and there was NOT much to choose from. A lot of pastries and scary looking eggs, so I rolled with half a bagel (first bite of gluten!) and some yogurt with fruit.
For lunch we had Subway and I had half a turkey and ham sub, forgot to take a picture. I was fine after both of those meals which clearly had gluten in them. Yay!
For dinner, we went to Bonefish Grill and I had a piece of bread as an appetizer, and the grouper with some sort of mango sauce. Delicious!
Day 3:
We woke up the next morning ready to hit the road again to Fernandina Beach. My brother was already on his way, so we had no time to workout!
We hit up Panera instead : P I got the power breakfast sandwich and a coffee. I love their coffee. I also had half of my moms fruit cup.
For lunch, we went downtown Fernandina and stopped at the first restaurant we saw. On the bottom left corner, we had fried crab nuggets. These were so yummy! They were like crab cakes, soft on the inside, and fried on the outside. I also had a shrimp salad which was just okay, the fried balls were better haha.
Later that day, my brother was finally with us! Luckily we had a kitchen so we picked up a few things at the store. We cracked open some wine, obviously, and made a nice meal.
Sweet potato, broccoli, and salmon. My mom and brother had steak too, but I had steak the other day so I stuck with the salmon! Dessert was included as well, yum.
Day 4:
The next morning I had yogurt with some fruit and raisins with coffee waiting for my family to wake up. After my rollerblading workout, we had turkey sandwiches on a bun.
Later that night, we made turkey burgers and a salad. I had cottage cheese before bed as a nighttime snack (what else is new).
Day 5:
Last day, hitting the road again! Before we hit the road home, we made eggs with spinach and a turkey burger. Weird for 7:30 in the morning, but it worked.
We stopped at olive garden for lunch because we felt we deserved a nice meal after my moms broken wrist and the tropical storm! I had a salad and half a breadstick, and ordered the apricot chicken meal. So delicious.
Do you eat out all the time while on vacation?

I like on vacation to have a balance of eating out and cooking but we can’t always do that if we are in a hotel. Luckily, we don’t go away a lot. i have a lot of stomach issues on vacation because of the unpredictability of gluten. Boo. It is all looks delicious though! Seriously, the meals are making me drool.

Whenever my family goes on vacation, we usually take our big RV which has a full kitchen. When we are ‘camping’ (it’s hard to classify this as camping when you have a tv and a/c!) we tend to eat breakfast and lunch in the camper and usually go out for most dinners. My most memorable vacation was definitely my honeymoon to Jamaica, but I also loved going on a Cruise in the Carribbean, Denver for my now husband’s college graduation, and NYC for the first time with my family to shop, sight see, and watch Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. Amazing!

It can definitely be challenging to eat well while on vacation! It looks like you held up pretty well though. I like to do a combination of meals out and cooking when I can. Breakfast is always the easiest for me to make when on vacation – just grab a bowl, some milk, and a little Kellogg’s FiberPlus cereal and I’m good to go!
Looks like you had such a balanced vacation of enjoying healthy foods and indulging in some special treats too.
Glad to hear that you’re not dead from eating gluten. I’d miss you a little too much. 
When I vacation, we almost always go out to eat for lunch and dinner. We’re eat-in breakfast peeps, though.

I try not to eat out at every meal while on vacation – the cost and the calories add up fast. Looks like a nice balance!

I don’t know where I read this, but I heard that if you keep cottage cheese upside down it lasts longer…not that you need that tip since you eat yours all up!
Looks like you had an amazing time.

Yum everything looks so tasty! When we go on vacation whether or not we go out to dinner a lot depends on what type of place we’re in. If it’s a hotel then yes, if it’s a condo or something with a kitchen then we’ll try to eat in more often!

Yum those are some awesome eats girl! And such a great balance between healthy and unhealthy. I think treats on vacation are necessary!
It depends on the vacation, but on my last trip we ate out for almost every meal for 6 days. It was a little too much! It would be nice to cook some meals ourselves next time, like you guys did.

Good vacation eats for sure! ….The last vacation I went on I bought stuff for a breakfast to eat at the hotel and then we ate out for lunch and dinner most every other day- especially since we were out and about doing some sightseeing.
I neeeeeed to try Arctic Zero!

Great vacation eats! Glad you could splurge a little, but still eat some healthy options too! All about balance. Whenever my family goes on vacay, we usually eat out quite a bit, but also will rent a room with a fridge, maybe a stove so that we have the option of cooking if we’d like,

When we go on vacation, we usually eat out for dinner. We eat breakfast and lunch in our condo/ room.

I tend to eat out at least twice a day when I’m on vacations!
Any my most memorable one was either the Safari I went to in South AFrica or The Greek Island Santorini
