Another Day. . . (-1#)

So. . .another day, another pound.  Yay.  My enthusiasm wanes.  2 months in and i'm so bored with everything I eat, the routine of work > gym > home every day, the same music on my iPhone, everything.  I need something to break up the monotony.  Any thoughts?  I have none at the moment. . .something will hopefully come up.  Just keep grinding it out I guess.  Patience?  Yep, patience.

So my boss brought up a spot of traveling for me in the next month or two.  Only a day trip, but it makes me wonder what will happen if I have to travel for longer.  How will that interrupt my process?  I'm very committed to this thing, and I don't want something stupid like traveling for work to affect it.  I know that a lot of the time there's a gym in the hotel which is good. . .except that they're also usually ill kept which isn't.  The dining situation is what really concerns me.  The upshot is that i'm a big fan of the internet and so that means i'm familiar with things like GOOGLE and SEARCHING THE INTERTUBES and stuff.  You can actually get a good volume of data from a quick search like "McDonald's Nutrition Information" (sidebar: don't eat there).  The downside here is if it's a non-chained restaurant, you likely won't find anything except maybe a menu.  That means you can plan ahead but you still won't know exactly what you're eating calorie/carb/etc wise.  Just play it smart, order food without the things that you *know* are gonna hurt you, and be ready to get some strange looks or silences.

Yeah, that's right - being ostracized is part of getting fit.  I bet you didn't know that.  You totally should have though. If you've ever been on a diet you know how compelled you are to explain why you ordered such strange or simple food.  Personally i'm an unapologetic person.  I'll say sorry if I should, but I never explain myself to anyone, especially in support of my personal goals.  I'm the last person in the world I want to let down, everyone else can go to hell.
