Good morning everyone,
Well it is staring to feel and smell like fall. The nights are getting colder, football is in session, and tree leaves are filling up my gutters.
I did not have enough time to pull some pictures for this blog. I wanted to do a this or that of different foods. Today I want to talk about what are your habits and how do you work to stay healthy while traveling on the road.
For the first topic of what types of foods do you typically eat when on the road. I try to eat as best I can while running hard, but default to trying to outwork my bad diet. I also have an alter ego like Bruce Banner and the Hulk. I have me and fat Kevin. Fat Kevin says come on you work hard and that donut and those cookies will totally be burned off when you work out. Just do it they taste amazing! Then I am off to the store to buy a larger waist size in my dress pants…or work out harder to burn the calories off.
This back and forth tug of war has been going on for years with me. This year I have been doing better with what I eat. It may also be that my body is rejecting all of the sugar from a sleeve of oreos as well kicking in my will do eat better. Not to mention the fatigue that happens when I eat the junk food.
I am curious how those that seem to have a residence in an airport or in a car how you prefer to eat and under indulge.
The other item I want to touch on is staying healthy. For some reason when I travel on an airplane I get sinus infections. It never fails that I end up with one and feel like a snotty mess for a week or so. This will hinder speaking as you can imagine. Besides no one want to shake a hand of someone that is sick.
This spring I started using extra vitamins and a nasal antihistamine and so far I have done better with this issue. I have heard others take airborne just before they take off each time and they swear by it. Others say they drink tons of water before take off which I can only imagine myself running to the bathroom as the plane takes off. I can imagine the flight crew chasing me to tackle me as I run to relief.
I guess I am here today asking you for your insights for when you are traveling to stay healthy and when you eat? Do you follow a certain diet? I have heard the Keto diet is the new one to jump on as well as fasting. I am also looking at gaining better knowledge and taking a nutrition class or two to understand the effects and do better. Lets hear it in the comments below what you do.
Sincerely,
