Returned from yet another week on the road this weekend. While I enjoy my job and some travel I find my diet is pretty hit and miss on the road, especially the shorter trips. On longer trips I stock the hotel room fridge and have eaten very well. But sometimes.....yeah, restaurant meals for lunch and supper, appetizers split among the team, maybe a drink or two some nights. Next thing I know, I feel fairly full 24/7 but keep eating the hotel breakfast, quick lunches and big suppers.
Today I ate a fairly high carb snack for breakfast (oops) and mainly coffee the rest of the day. So I went to the grocery, picked up a whole roaster chicken and headed home to cut it up and grill it. After longer than I expected hacking it apart (out of practice!) I had five or so skewers, the wings and the lower quarters seasoned and in the fridge. Out to the grill, open a can of sweet peas and pop two pieces of bread into the toaster. Chicken on the grill, peas in the microwave-yes, not fresh, but at least some veggies, and the bread in the toaster. Once the bread popped, I spread some cheese spread on them, keep turning the chicken and heat the peas. Supper was a serving of peas, two pieces of toast and spread, a chicken skewer plus a few pieces and a wing. Well I also had a Foster's Ale Oil can over the evening including cooking to now nearly 5 hours later.
I'm still full and "A lert", unlike when I fill up on fast food or too big a starchy restaurant meal and end up lethargic all night. Another reason to "Eat It Like God Made It!"
