Day 4 - Hell

Okay sports fans, today officially sucked!  I found out how hard it is to diet while traveling. (spell check says traveling only has one "l" is that right?)  I flew to Vail today and the diet could have easily fallen apart. 
Frustration leads to temptation.  
Breakfast was fine, and I figured I could get my morning snack at the airport... nope.  So no snack.  (That's fine...)  No one had what I needed for lunch so I settled for 2 pieces of romaine lettuce and a small chunk of chicken, then had to miss snack again. Now I'm a little irritated.  Dinner was also improvised and missing several main ingredients...mainly taste.  On top of everything, my friends and sister all drank this delicious looking microbrew beer. I know... wah, wah wah! 

The lesson learned is pre-prepare ALL meals if you are traveling. 

This is the first day I have been hungry and its because I did not follow the meal plan.  Instead of cheating or substituting I just went without certain ingredients.  I am now going on my mile high walk for an hour to the grocery store (in 26 degree weather) and am extremely psyched for for my late night snack of 2 frigging teaspoons of peanut butter and a cup of low fat ice cream.  Pathetic.

Tomorrow I hit the slopes.  I am pre-packing ALL meals.  
Peace out.

  1. Bob did you make it back from the store? You know, it's only fitting you are in Vail because this whole diet thing is a very slippery slope. You were on thin ice as it was. Snow- kidding! Well, at least you will get an altitude adjustment.
