A few tricks while on the road.

So I was back on the road last week.  The downside, I was off the grid outside of my handy iPhone. The upside I tried out a few new tricks for managing my project.

Soda.

I admit I haven’t been a fan of sodas for a long time, but even I get a craving every once in a while.  When I get a craving for sugar or snack I had been drinking water to suppress the urge.   So while I was out I had San Pellegrino, every time time I had a crazy craving for a soda.  I picked up a bunch when I landed in California last week and stocked the fridge of the condo I was staying in.   

Place to stay

In picking a place to stay I picked a rental condo that let me have a kitchen.  I made my own food while I was on the road and that is a big help.

Travel Scale

Last time I was on the road had real challenge. If you read my regular blog you probably know that I am a one  bag kinda traveler and traveling with a food scale is very tricky if you don’t like to check a bag.  I have a new find.  This is a salter travel scale and for 25 dollars I was able to keep on track of the diet while I was on the road.  The scale plus a simple bowl makes for easy weighing.  I highly recommend picking up one of these if you travel.

 

Other exercise

I was getting board with jumping rope this week and it was too hot for regular running outside so I found a stairwell.  I did laps running up and down the stairs.  I would run up then down and take a quick break and do it over again.  I timed them and shot to keep low times and did them for 30 mins.  There were 5 floors so it wasn’t too hard, but it was a change of pace for me.   I still did quite a few jumps this week.  

One other note.

Patrick mentioned there weren’t any pictures of me up for a while and I realized I had been loading them to my personal flickr site.  I will move them over to the PCP site later tonight.   Can’t wait to catch up on all your blogs!

Cheers!
