Let's face it, when you travel, usually your diet-and-exercise routine takes a vacation of its own. Here are some of my personal travel fitness trips.

If there’s a wild-mushroom tart on the menu, I’m definitely going to have two bites of it and forego having a piece of bread. I make a point to have a meeting with the Executive Chef, first thing after boarding, and request all kinds of special meals – say, a lowfat ratatouille made with very little oil. Go ahead and order that lobster Thermidor – but you can actually ask that it be made with a minimum of butter and oil. If there’s a Nutella crepe on the menu, you know I am going to fit it into that day’s calorie intake. Breakfast is either a bowl of oatmeal and fruit, or two scrambled eggs (with no butter) and toast and fruit. Have you made a New Year’s resolution to lose some weight and stay in shape?
