Are We Stuck Because Of Our Organization Skills?

This Atlanta landfill (garbage) mountain started with a single truckload, a long time ago.

This may sound weird, but I’m amazed at how consistently I’ve been able to post five different blogs everyday for 37 consecutive months. A blinding flash of the obvious just happened while finishing that last sentence…

Progress and relative success are very motivating. Duh, right? Can’t guarantee this tomorrow, but maybe I can highlight some progress milestones to help you see this better.

Balance Is My Friend, Even With Restaurant Choices

Balance is my friend with exercise too. Some days you get to, some days you don’t.

Please don’t get me wrong, on this week’s trip to Greensboro, North Carolina, I ate at MacDonald’s three times. Not proud of that, but it happened. Eating healthy as a road warrior is a balancing act of time, energy, price, convenience.

PS. I sincerely hope the common sense insights these small examples reveal aren’t invisible to you. Every single day is a constant struggle for me to make more good choices than not good. You get this, right?

I guarantee you struggle with this too. Or is it, “Denial, party of one, right this way please”. Peace. 🙂

Eating Healthy Meals While Traveling Takes Focus

My Greensboro, North Carolina hotel room is the one with the light on (upper right).
This is where I ate three healthy dinners and one healthy lunch.
This is how close it was.

Focused and disciplined people make common sense look easy. We all know if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Eating healthy while traveling is common sense. But it ain’t easy.

It’s also not impossible. Especially when the service is fast and friendly. Especially when the menu is varied, tasty and reasonably priced, say, like a certain Greensboro, North Carolina Ruby Tuesday.

Time Is Money And Health Is Wealth

Didn't think my alarm clock was ever gonna go off. So ready to get started!!

MacDonald’s would have saved a lot of time. But a sit-down dinner, while expensive time-wise, offered the best return on investment health-wise.

This choice was made easier because I was organized and prepared for the next day. It would have been much more difficult to put health first if I still had work to do to prepare for the next day. I got lucky this time.

Traveling Is Awesome!

Traveling Is Awesome! But the paradox it creates with work life balance can almost negate the positives. The good news is that being decently organized helps overcome the inevitable temptations.

I'm trying to control cholesterol without medication.

Arriving to the hotel last night near 8pm, I started driving to McDonalds. There was a perfectly good Ruby Tuesday’s adjacent to the hotel. A combo meal would be quick (and cheap), but not healthy.

A sit-down dinner would be healthy (and cost more) but not quick…
