Traveling Eating Plan
I’ve been dieting along with my friend Sarah as she prepares for another season of figure contests and I had to travel east this past weekend to give a talk at a conference and schmooze with my cronies.
I planned ahead. Brought a tub of whey and oats. There was a grocery store a couple blocks away so I could get some meat. The hotel had a little gym so I could get a little workout in.
That was the easy part. I’m used to that. When I fly I bring some shakers with whey powder in them in carry-on–just add water and I have a snack. I just avoid carbs and sugars like usual.
What threw me off this trip was my connecting flight home was cancelled and I was stuck at a Holiday Inn Express. So, I found a grocery store a mile away, hoofed down there, got some more whey and some deli meat and stayed pretty close to the eating plan.
Of course all the salty deli meat has me holding water like a camel, but salt takes care of itself.
After a 30 trip that should have been just 6 hours I felt pretty crappy, but went to the gym and got in a lift this afternoon. And after a few normal meals I’m feeling almost all better.
