Some more of Kimberly Dunn's tips for traveling:

How to keep things cool:

Yeti!!! Love the Yeti, but if you're looking for more variety in colors check out the Orca's!. They do the same kinda job as the Yeti!!Both Orca and Yeti make a portable soft side cooler that are amazing for travel. They're an investment, but think about how much money you'll save by eating in out on the road with your prepared goods!

* https://www.shoporca.com/default.asp

* https://yeticoolers.com/

Fitness:

I always have a hard time working out on show days. It's not always easy to get to a shower after a work out in a parking lot so here are my three options for working out on the road.

* Find the nearest gym, maybe you have a membership with them, maybe you don't. I have found that when traveling most gyms will either charge you a day rate or give just let you come on in and give there facilities a try! You can even take a shower if need be. There was an Anytime fitness right down the road in Stephenville Texas and my band and I were looking for a place to get out of the hot Summer sun and work out. Anytime took us in and we had a great work out. It depends on the staff at the gym location, I would stick to Anytimes, Golds, 24 Hours, or Planet Fitness.

*  Yoga: You can practice near anywhere! I've done it in parking lots, parks, venues, during load in, sounds check. Yoga is a great go to on the road. You can make the intensity what ever you like, so if there isn't a shower near by don't go so hard :)

*  Daily WOD:

This is my main go to. It's fast, tough, and easy all at the same time. For 5 times repeat these below:

         40: jumping jacks (for higher intensity squat jacks)

         30: squats (for higher intensity hold your medium weight travel bag, for me this is my back pack)

         20: sit ups or crunches (Mix it up to keep it interesting)

         10: push-ups

REPEAT 5 times :) you'll be feeling good, and you can get that beer at the bar that has been calling your name all afternoon!

Snacking:

Sitting a in a van or car for hours on end make it pretty boring at times. Even if the conversations are flowing my natural go to is to snack. It's so so easy to do. SO I have a couple of options to help curve the urge.

* WATER: Drink water, water, water. By having something to hold and consume you're giving yourself something to do with your interesting conversation about the pot holes in the road.

Charissa Talbot: Right.

Cassy Joy: Because I want to be married!

Together, they’ve authored four books, the most recent was Make it Paleo II. They run a fabulous food blog that allows others in the Paleo world to contribute, they have an app, cookie dough that you can purchase through Cappellos, and, really what I admire most, they have found a way to juggle such great successes with a tremendous amount of grace. They post regular peeks into their real life via Instagram, which constantly works to inspire and provide support to people looking to pursue a healthier and tastier lifestyle. It seems like they’ve never met a stranger, and are truly welcoming to all who cross their paths!

So, if you can’t tell, I’m a big fan and I’m so thrilled to have you guys on the show today. Welcome!

The official title of this episode is, that one time we forgot to record an episode. {laughs}

Charissa Talbot:

Because we were actually together, and enjoying ourselves, and having a good time. I’m sure everyone can understand. So I drove up to San Antonio today to come to Cassy’s engagement party. We both had such a crazy week, we’re like, we’ll just record a podcast while we’re there together, and one thing leads to another, and here we are driving on the way to dinner.

Charissa Talbot:

Yes.

Cassy Joy:

It’s been a crazy week. Austin and I just threw an engagement/house warming party at our casa, and it was a good time. We had all kinds of yummy, tasty, paleo foods, and I tried some new recipes on my friends and family. They’re the guinea pigs, just so you guys know.

Charissa Talbot:

Oh my gosh, that pudding! The toffee and the chocolate? Oh my god.

Cassy Joy:

The pudding. I was pretty excited about the pudding. I kept going back to test it to make sure it was still good,

Yeah,

Cassy Joy: Good morning Charissa!

Cassy Joy: {laughs}

Charissa Talbot: Sometimes we record, and it’s not the morning. But I’m drinking coffee, its morning time.

Cassy Joy: I have an empty coffee cup sitting next to me, I’m kind of wishing it had more in it.

Charissa Talbot: That’s kind of sad.

Cassy Joy: {laughs} Yeah. I’m glad to have you back; I want to hear all about your vacation and Martha’s Vineyard. I saw some photos and it just looked beautiful.

Charissa Talbot: It was very picturesque. Very, very nice. I had an interesting, I had a rough start to my vacation. You know I really needed the break and to relax, and I had a couple of flight changes I had to make, and each flight I was on, one had maintenance issues, and another one got stuck on the runway for a long period of time, so instead of being able to walk from one plane change to the other, all day long I was on a plane, and then running.

Cassy Joy: {laughs}

Charissa Talbot: On a plane, and then running, and then on a plane. And then when I got to Martha’s Vineyard, they had left my luggage in New York City. So I didn’t get my luggage until the next day at like 4 o'clock, which was a little rough. But I will say, having a good attitude and being friendly and happy goes a long way. The flight attendant at the airport was so pleasant, and you could tell she was having a rough day, and I was just patient and kind and nice, and it paid off. She made sure I got my bag, and when I came back to get on my flight home, she asked me to save my receipts from stuff I needed to buy, because of course I didn’t have anything with me.

Cassy Joy: Mm-hmm.

Charissa Talbot: And she went ahead and just put in my refund, and I’m going to be getting a check in a couple of days, so. I don’t know, it just, you know there are some people that are just so, you see them in the airport, they’re really stressed out, and they’re frustrated, and they’re snappy, and it’s like, it doesn’t serve you or the people around you or your purpose or your goal. Everything is going to be what it’s going to be, just relax people. {laughs}

Cassy Joy: Yeah!

Charissa Talbot: And be kind.

I came to know Mary a few years back at PaleoFx. I was just telling her about this, how I remembered meeting her. We were sitting down, there was a group of us at Lamberts in Austin, and we were going to have barbecue on the patio. And I distinctly remember this waiter walking up, and he was like, “hey guys! Can I tell you about the special today?” And she took the reins immediately, and she was like, ok, here’s the thing. We’re all following a grain-free lifestyle, so tell what’s on your menu that you can actually eat. Oh me? I’ll have a bourbon meat. {laughs}

Mary Shenouda: {laughs}

Cassy Joy: In very few words, she won my heart. She is a lady who cuts the crap, really gets real, and she’s always provided some meaningful feedback and inspiration. She reached out a few months back when I was caught in the should or shouldn’t I’s of launching the Fed and Fi...
