Wow! What a week it's been. Four screws in three different tires of our two family cars, including one flat. A fender-bender with my wife's car (not her fault!) Medicare-Medicaid re-certification inspection at one of the nursing homes I consult. Company last weekend. A two year old with endless energy and curiosity.
All of this can lead a man (or woman) to hit the Checker's Drive Thru pretty hard. And I've done that countless times in the past. The short-term satisfaction of a creamy shake, greasy fries and mouth-watering burger soon lead to indigestion, a little (or a lot) guilt and added pounds.
Being more mindful of my feelings and emotions helps me to nearly eliminate these fast food runs and stay aligned with my health, wellness and fitness goals. One of my best strategies is to always carry portable, healthy snacks- sort of like a survival kit. Having these treats available at arms-reach buys me enough time to think twice about the consequences of making a very poor food choice. Try it on for yourself!
