Posts Tagged Surviving Road Trips

I will be heading out soon for the San Francisco Triathlon soon.  I love road trips so I volunteered to drive the equipment down from Seattle.  The trip is scheduled to take 12 hours.  That is a long time to be in the car alone; especially when you consider that in the past, that is where I turned my eating common sense off.

I have been doing really well.  I have found that the more I plan the easier it is for me.  Wow, what a revelation!  Planning works!  I will be packing my food and drink so that when I stop at the gas stations all I have to do is fill up and leave.  Rest stops will be at the ever so clean confines of the interstate rest areas.

Gas stations make sense, but why the rest areas?  Because for me, there is little enjoyment in stale candy from a vending machine.  I know that if I stop at the rest areas I will be in a safe zone as opposed to stoping at a convenience store or restaurant.  I’m not avoiding; I’m planning.

Another thing that I will be doing is listening to T.Harv Eckers  Millionaire Mind CD’s.  I have listened to them before and it is time to brush up on some things.  What a better time to do it than alone in the car with no distractions.  Car trips don’t have to be wasted time.  I am going to use this time to make my mind sharper.

I feel like I have a pretty good plan in place now it is time to execute it.  I will let you know tomorrow how it goes.

See you tomorrow!
