I’m going to start todays post with dinner…..blech! I really need to stop trying to make myself like veggie burgers….it’s not working out for me the way I thought. I like the fresh vegetables much better. After the evening at the gym I thought I would try a veggie burger from Red Robin. It was such a bad idea, I ate a little of the burger and just threw the rest away. So basically for dinner I had steak fries and a water. It totally wasn’t worth it and I was wishing that I had just went to Panera and picked up a salad and apple.

My day started with a Naked brand smoothie. For lunch I had a green salad with olive oil and vinegar dressing, rice and steamed broccoli. I also grabbed a hot chocolate in the afternoon. I’m noticing that the stress at work is impacting my picking up fruit at the hotel. I’m tired and don’t want to get up, because I’m working late into the night. Then I’m rushing out of the hotel to the office, and don’t have time to stop and pick up my fruit container. I will need to put an end to that behavior, it’s not working well for my breakfast nutrition.

Here are my “Raw On The Road” tips for the day:

• Nutrition – While substitutes are okay, sometimes they are really gross. You may be doing yourself a favor by opting for the green stuff.
• Weight Loss – Visualization is powerful. Create a full image in your mind of yourself at your goal and try to spend time in that thought each day.
• Workout – A short workout is better than none at all. I only had a few minutes to spare this evening but I made sure I went to the gym, as sometimes that’s the only thing you do for yourself in a day when you are traveling for work.
