WhereAbouts

Hello, I’m back again. Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation for a few days and I was out of town on business this past week. I’ll tell you vacation is nice and its tough to eat right, but hey its vacation. Working on the road isn’t any better, because restaurants really know how to kill diets. They serve up everything you shouldn’t eat plus fat! It kills me every time I go into a restaurant, I’m not talking about fast food eateries either. Like nice sit down restaurants, I look through the menus and usually I can’t find anything healthy to order. I usually end up modifying the menu item in some way like hold the 1/2 cup of mayo or hold the greasy fried onions or hold the smothering gravy, dressing on the side please, I don’t want to die on my way out thank-you very much!
Every once in a while you may run accross a place that has some worthy menu items and if you do its time to praise their management.
While on vacation, I got to see our daughter and her husband and grandson Jeffry. Also my wife’s sister and her husband. It was a fun and relaxing time and I enjoyed all of it. So part of staying healthy is to relax every so often, to recharge your batteries.

Some restaurants have been creating meals around some of the more popular diets. For example, they have a Weight Watchers section on the Ruby Tuesday’s menu and Applebees has South Beach Diet friendly items. These probably will only last as long as these diets remain popular though.

Those are the few that do offer an alternative menu. Many others still cater to the fast and don’t care crowd, sadly.
