program. Kind of hard to take supplements when they are packed in your
suitcase! I was so focused on making sure I had my new supplements for the
trip I forgot to set some aside for today's travel! That's alright I wasn't
too sure I wanted to deal with the start of this while I was on a plane
anyways.
My goal this trip is to make it the healthiest one I've ever done.
Accomplishing that of course would not take a whole lot of effort. I have
not exactly set the bar too high when it comes to healthy travel. I tend to
enjoy the local cuisine, beer and culture at the expense of eating right,
working out and getting plenty of sleep.
The frequency of doing this over the past 6 months, coupled with an
upcoming trip to meet 'the family' as it were, are increasing the need to
reverse my backward slide into blob-dom. After the separation last year I
had dropped nearly 30 pounds. Sadly, an altered lifestyle since ... oh,
let's just say January 14, 2009 (and you know who you are!) ... has meant
less gym time, more dining out and far less sleep. This new pattern
started to erase the gains I had made physically up to that point.
So, now it is time to pay the piper and work to get back on the right
track. Why does it have to come when I am in Brazil?! Well, I guess if
travel were an excuse I'd continue to blob out. So I need to overcome that
at some point. Now is as good as time as any. Besides Thanksgiving looms on
the horizon!
But before that it is on to Brazil. The plane door has now closed. And so
begins the air travel portion of my 17 hour journey to Brazil and a renewed
journey back to a more healthy form!.
