Work travel makes me fat

August 7, 2009

Weight - Let's not talk about that

Workout - uh, not that either

I've known this for a while, but I should just come out and acknowledge it. Business travel makes me fat. You'd think all the coffee would help matters, but nope. All the constant work means I'm too tired to get up early to work out. Eating out every day makes it tough (for me) to eat healthy. Social events require social lubrication, and I'm sure as hell not drinking MGD64.

I'm going to have to make a plan, since I'll be traveling almost nonstop for work until Christmas.

Anyone got ideas for easy ways to stay fit while on the road?

And so it begins...

Weight - 190

Workout - nuthin'

Well, I finally gave in and boarded the blog train. I'm hoping to chronicle my (presumed) ascent out of my current midlife malaise, and maybe inspire some folks on the way.

Step 1: start documenting the sad, sad shape I've let my body get into. I've committed to riding the Paris-Brest-Paris bicycle ride in 2011 as part of my 40th birthday celebrations(?), so I gotta get to training.

Step 2: toss out random observations on being a working dad. It's the coolest and hardest thing I've ever done.

Step 3: post up whatever random thoughts come up. My blogging wife is a great writer, and inspires me to get back to writing.

Thanks for coming along, and let me know if you find something interesting!
