JetSet; FIT DAY

Well, here I go again. Tomorrow I leave for what sounds to be a fun wedding in IOWA of all places! I’m totally looking forward to it, it sounds like a whole different kind of wedding, and if it’s that, then I like it!

I have been flying a lot lately. Does not bother me. I am usually asleep before we take off and I wake up right when the wheels touch the ground. Because I do not like to be bothered by flight attendants, “SIR… we’re about to land, bring your seat to the upright position!”, I do not recline my seat. I also just think it’s annoying when the person in front of you is practically laying in your lap, so I just try not to be “that guy”.

The flying part is great, I even love flying in thunderstorms or snowstorms! That’s exciting to me! But it also opens up a whole other can of SNAKES. I know, it’s “can of worms” but I hate that expression. Worms are so not threatening. If I’m encountering something gnarly, I would think I am opening a can of SNAKES. Got it? So anyway… travelling opens up a whole other BARREL of COBRAS. WHOAH!

The big challenge at the airport and with travelling in general is eating good food. I have two trips back to back which I will be arming myself with lots of beef jerkey and ZONE bars. When I have to eat out, it’s gonna be straight to the salad section of the menu for me and I am trying to love a fresh salad, no dressing. Definitely no greasy nuts on the plane or coke.

Last time I was flying, I was having the BEST nap! It was so peaceful! Suddenly flight attendant woke me up with a nasally voice, tapping me on my shoulder and SHOUTING, “SIR! SIR! DO YOU WANT A SNACK SIR?!?!?”. I need to get a travel t-shirt that says, “If I’m Asleep… THE ANSWER IS NO!”. ha. They make you turn off your phones. Fine. You can’t listen to your iPod while taking off or landing. That’s a little silly but, OK. And I think I have mentioned this before but I think the middle seat guy (or gal) has rights to both armrests. It’s their only luxury, so please, next time you are on a plane and you have the nice view from the window seat, or the accesability of the aisle seat, please give the armrest to the poor soul who is stuck between you and the other guy (or gal)!

Here’s a fun shot I got of a take off last time I was in AZ. I will be going there a lot now that we’re opening up a studio. More details to come!

I gotta say, I am loving my new healthy routine. I bought my voice recorder and if I have a private moment, I will speak my food eaten so that at the end of the day I can log my diet. These logs are 100% accurate, I have not cheated once since starting (except splurge day), and I haven’t missed any work outs. The last time I did the commando, my goal was to have results like this Colorado Italian American, Rory Palazzo, who won the Body For Life competition a few years back. I am not really doing body for life, but my goal again is to have results like this. I don’t want to get all greased up though. I bet he looks great without the full on shave and minus the grease. I’m gonna see if it’s really possible.

Step off, RORY!

Consequently, my “before” photo looks a lot like this guy, so I am excited to see if the results will REALLY be this dramatic in 12 weeks.

Anyway, FITDAY has been awesome. And since I have become so obsessed with tracking my diet, I have also noticed that I have been keeping my studio office way more clean, and I have been working so efficiently lately. I think it’s related! I need to be this way forever I think!

Well have a good one. Back to work I go.
