Fire Starter & Nutritional Strategy

Definitely off track with the diet this week but it’s time to get back on the horse. I find I am getting a little bored with the protein fruit smoothies in the morning so I’m going to try to come up with something else. The only trouble is when I have to be at work so early in the morning that’s usually my only choice. Maybe I’ll switch back to my dymatize cappuccino whey...it makes killer imitation starbuck’s iced cappuccino’s when mixed with a little vanilla almond milk and some ice. Plus its fifty-thousand times better for you.

On a happier note I have short work week this week and then it’s off to Wolf Creek and the Pagosa Hot Springs! It’s going to be a challenge to stick to my eating plan while in a situation that involves lots of social eating, drinking and being on the go all day long (snowboarding) but my goal is to really focus and defeat my social consumption weaknesses. To make sure I am prepared I am bringing down a batch of seasoned ground turkey, organic beef jerky, eggs, tuna packets, broccoli slaw salad and kind bars.  This is only a long weekend, I can do it! Meeting this short term goal will help mentally prepare for my trip in April where I will be away for a whole week.
