traveling fool

Sitting here chilling in my sweet hotel room watching The Biggest Loser. Okay, it's not a sweet hotel room; just the same old Hampton Inn I always stay in Atlanta. But a girl can dream. Watching the biggest loser is making me feel guilty about my meal choices today, especially dinner.

Work is crazy right now. I am a traveling fool until Nov 28th. In Atlanta this week, Pembroke Pines, FL next week, then back to Atlanta. Then December is mine to catch up on everything I couldn't do the rest of the year! No traveling! Well unless you count the marathon and going home for Christmas. If I travel because I want to it doesn't count.

The schedule has me on an "easy" week. Monday I ran 5 miles on the treadmill. The last mile I did hill repeats. Decided just to throw those in and they seriously kicked my butt! Definitely going to be working on that more often. Then I ran the stairs back up to the hotel room. Overall a good workout. Today I moved up my workout that was supposed to be for tomorrow because of what else but travel. It was supposed to be 7 miles but I did 6 miles on the treadmill. I'll probably make up that mile running outside on Saturday.

Hang in there, girl. Man, you travel a lot. I would be a mess. For some reason travel equals license to eat. But, I guess if I had to do it all the time, maybe I would get better at it. Great work on the treadmill.

traveling particularly for work makes it hard to keep up health commitments, but you've done an amazing job with it all year. I'm sure you'll kick bootay again in the coming weeks.

Just remember...if you run...those extra treats that clients tend to feed you aren't so bad. :)

Work traveling is not so fun...but maybe you'll get a chance to run in a fun part of town where you're traveling? Just a thought.

I was going to say the same thing as Nancy! You sure do travel A LOT!! Don't even feel bad for eating not so good. It's HARD on the road :-)

I am so impressed with how you manage to exercise despite a brutal travel schedule. I guess you've got that running bug like the rest of us and just find a way.

I do understand the whole travel/license to eat thing. Get me away from home and all my disciplined eating goes right out the window.
