It's Travel Season Again
February 9, 2010 @ 07:04 am
So today I start traveling for business again. This is not a new topic for this blog - I've written about it a couple of times (here and here). Traveling while fat is not easy. Traveling while trying to live and eat healthy is even less easy. There's the plane ride - which involves squeezing my giant butt into a tiny chair and then busting a vein trying to get the seat belt latched. There's the lack of good and healthy food at the airport and on the plane. There's the fast food and lack of kitchen while actually on-the-ground where ever I'm working. And there's the booze. There's always booze when you travel for work and my colleague that I'm going with this week and next week is a particularly thirsty drinker.I'll be on the road the rest of this week. In unhealthy portions of the country. But I've tried to set myself up to do the best I can with this. I bought some CLIF bars today and some nuts for general snacks and nutrition should I need it while out and about. I'm staying at a hotel with a complete fitness center (including steam room, surprise) - and I got a room rate that includes the fitness center fee. I'll do my best to eat right, get breakfast, use the fitness center, not drink too much, etc, etc, etc. Because I will not let this travel derail my progress.
I promise.
