Offsetting Off Program

Traveling again for work. Harder this time because of distance and schedule.

Tues: Up at 3:45 a.m. to catch 6 a.m. flight. No workout. Arrive in Atlanta at 9:30 a.m., and walk a freaking mile at least from one end of the airport to the other ... on purpose. Trying to sneak in a workout. Head to hotel, set up booth and work from 1-8 p.m. Grab a salad at lunch, eat opening night reception food around 5 p.m. which consists of two small plates of sweet potato fries and a chocolate covered strawberry. Then walk to restaurant a couple of blocks away and eat salad with blackened salmon.

Wed: Up at 4:45 a.m. to get 1 hour in on treadmill. Walk 4.25 miles and safely in booth at 7 a.m. Breakfast meeting at 10 a.m. (two eggs over easy, turkey sausage and wheat toast) and back to the airport at 3 p.m. Again walk the length of the airport instead of taking the train ... though I really think twice about it. I'm tired.

Now I'm trying to find something decent to eat for dinner before I board.

My point? When you can't do it like you want to, do the best you can. Grab the exercise when an opportunity presents itself. And don't worry too much about a plate or two of sweet potato fries.
