Rule 4-43-3 "...after coming to a stop and establishing a pivot foot:
a. one or both feet may be lifted, but not returned to the floor, before the ball is released on a pass or a try for a goal.
b. neither foot may be lifted before the ball is released, to start a dribble."
The key is establishing a pivot foot per rule 4-43, once that is done the pivot may be lifted but not retruned to the floor if you still have the ball. In your case, the right foot is the pivot foot, you may step with the left foot, lift the right foot (pivot) and release the ball on a pass or shoot before the right foot touches the floor. And that is not traveling. Be aware some officials may call traveling but under the perscribed limits above, you have a legal play.
