Foodie on the road

The one thing I'm doing differently on this upcoming tour is that I will be documenting all the places I eat :) Pictures and everything. I'm really trying to stay healthy on this tour. I've lost about 8 lbs so far and I'm trying hard so that I can keep loosing. Touring and staying healthy is REALLY difficult. With the exception of drinking massive amounts of airborne, and vitamin C it is really hard to control what goes in your body, and WHEN. Every morning I try to have breakfast but with so many bagels and what not in our bus it is hard to resist and go for the healthier cereal option, especially if there's no milk! A gallon of milk+ 9 people (potentially) and a baby= 0 milk in one day. haha

Late night eating is the hardest for me! I usually don't get to eat when I'm usually hungry at 7 or so because that's usually when the doors open and I'm at work. It's hard to find time to leave my table to go make a quick sandwich or something. I used to eat after I was done working (12 or 1, or later) and that helped pack on the pounds quick! Towards the end of the last tour, it got a bit easier and I made eating during regular times a priority.

I'm a foodie at heart and I love visiting all the different local restaurants and pubs in whatever city I am in. There's no better way in exploring a city than through it's food and culture. So, I'm not going to stop eating out, but I'm going to try to make healthier choices even though healthier choices are typically more expensive. My dining experience is also going to be slightly different since I stopped eating red meat!

We'll see how it goes!
