Your Inner Critic Is Sabotaging Your Health While You Travel—Here’s How to Win
I’ve traveled across the country, been in multiple states in a single day, and coached hundreds of high-performing leaders who struggle with one thing…
Staying on track while traveling.
Not because they don’t know what to do… but because their Inner Critic is running the show.
🔹 The Comfort Seeker whispers, “You deserve to indulge. Just this once.”
🔹 The Overdrive Samurai says, “Work comes first. You’ll figure out health later.”
🔹 The Detail Deacon panics, “If you can’t follow your exact routine, why bother?”
Sound familiar?
This is how leaders lose control on the road. Not from lack of knowledge—but from letting their Inner Critic drive their choices.
Here’s how to reclaim your power with the B3 Travel System—so you can stay fit, focused, and energized without the all-or-nothing trap.
1️⃣ Adjust Your Workout Plan (Inner Critic: Detail Deacon)
Your routine doesn’t have to be perfect—just effective.
✅ Shift to 3 full-body workouts per week.
✅ Focus on compound movements (squats, push-ups, pulls).
✅ Hotel gym? Bodyweight + resistance bands = done.
Reframe: “Consistency beats perfection. I can adapt and still make progress.”
2️⃣ Bodyweight & Band Workouts (Inner Critic: Overdrive Samurai)
No gym? No excuse.
✔ Squats, push-ups, pull-ups, pike push-ups.
✔ Resistance bands for curls, presses, and rows.
✔ 15 minutes is better than skipping altogether.
Reframe: “I don’t need hours in the gym—small wins add up.”
3️⃣ Prioritize Protein (Inner Critic: Comfort Seeker)
Your body doesn’t care about excuses—only fuel.
💡 Eat protein first at every meal.
💡 Pack protein snacks (jerky, almonds, shakes).
💡 Always order extra protein—travel makes it scarce.
Reframe: “Fueling my body keeps me sharp and strong—comfort food won’t.”
4️⃣ Eat Until 80% Full (Inner Critic: Comfort Seeker)
The difference between energy and exhaustion is one extra bite.
✅ Stop eating before you feel stuffed.
✅ Napkin trick: Cover your plate when 80% full.
✅ Listen to your body—not the buffet table.
Reframe: “Satisfaction comes from nourishment, not overindulgence.”
5️⃣ Smart Calorie Strategy (Inner Critic: Faceless Judge)
Not every day needs to be a feast—or a famine.
⚡ High-calorie days for big events.
⚡ Lower-calorie days when less active.
⚡ Keeps you lean without guilt or micromanaging.
Reframe: “I have control. I can enjoy food and stay fit.”
6️⃣ Alcohol Rules (Inner Critic: Harmony Enthusiast)
You don’t have to drink just because everyone else is.
✔ Choose clear spirits like tequila, vodka, or gin.
✔ Skip sugary mixers.
✔ Hydrate between drinks.
Reframe: “My health isn’t worth sacrificing for social pressure.”
7️⃣ Hydration = High Performance (Inner Critic: Watchful Guardian)
Energy crashes aren’t just from food—they’re from dehydration.
✈️ Carry water everywhere.
✈️ 3-4 liters per day.
✈️ More water = better focus, digestion, and recovery.
Reframe: “Taking care of myself is the strongest leadership move I can make.”
8️⃣ Walk More, Sit Less (Inner Critic: Overdrive Samurai)
📍 Take the stairs.
📍 Walk between meetings, in airports, and after meals.
📍 More movement = more energy + fat loss.
Reframe: “Movement is momentum—every step keeps me sharp.”
9️⃣ Master Client Dinners & Eating Out (Inner Critic: Logic Mastermind)
You don’t need to be “perfect” to stay on track.
✔ Start with a high-protein breakfast (or fast).
✔ Use caffeine strategically to manage appetite.
✔ Lunch = high-protein, minimal carbs.
✔ Dinner = protein-rich with mindful carbs.
Reframe: “I can make smart choices and still enjoy the experience.”
Most leaders let their Inner Critic run the show while traveling.
But when you take control—you stay lean, strong, and focused no matter where you go.
Your business demands the best version of you.
