So, the full-time gig is an awesome thing, but it also means I have been on the road. A lot. So, that means that sometimes you wind up eating odd things.
My first trip in November, I planned pretty well. I mapped out the route to the Kroger, and on the way to the hotel from the airport, I stopped and bought supplies for the visit. My hotel has a small fridge and microwave, so I bought some Healthy Choice steamer/pasta things and their frozen potstickers (they have no meat!), as well as some baby carrots, some fruit, whole wheat pitas, a box of salad greens, and some red pepper hummus. Silk has those four packs of soy milk, so I got one of those too. The Asian Kitchen noodle bowls are also pretty good. So, I managed to not eat in restaurants and I had fruit and peanut butter with my pitas in the mornings and carted my little soy milk with me and had a grand time. The second trip, I hauled some McDougall's vegan soup cups with me, and I planned on hitting the Thai place (which I did, twice). We had some meetings where folks were nice enough to order veggie sandwich for Angel from Panera (more hummus!), too, so work lunches were covered. A colleague took me to lunch for my birthday, too, so that was a big bowl of greens. And, I figured out that Bob Evans makes a pretty good bean soup (I know that stock was probably not vegan, but oh well). The Thai place supplied dinner for me four nights (big portions=two meals from each order), and I now have a desk drawer full of soup cups for future trips. The hotel leaves fruit out all day long, too, so I can grab a banana in the morning, an orange later, and an apple in the evening. Traveling is pretty easy, really, with a bit of planning. I spent roughly the same amount both trips on food, too. Gone are the days where being out of town is an excuse to eat poorly--when you eat right, you also don't feel like someone beat you up on your trip and there's no real "recovery" time when you get home, which is nice.
