Hey Wolfey- I think Naptown was referring to the Donner Party but I do agree with your comraderie.

I'm mostly local these days but when I run regional I keep a case of water in the cab with me. When it gets down to about six bottles I hit a Wal-Mart and resupply.
Stay away from the fried and most fast foods (even Subway's quality has taken a dive lately with its GMO garbage), most sweets and darn near all red meat. I eat a ton of beef jerky ... pretty lean and full of protein and it makes you thirsty so the water goes down easily.jungledrums Thanks this. -

Anywhoo.. I've lost about 35-40 lbs since I started driving more or less full time. I was heavy but in ok shape from powerlifting. I only eat when I'm hungry. Nowadays, off the exercise regimen, that is usually one good, cooked meal a day and mostly healthy snacks like trail mix and an occasional protein bar or even candy here and there to fill in the gaps. Some days, I don't get the good meal due to schedule/route. No big deal. I also mostly quit carbonated sugary drinks to help avoid gout flareups. That's been a factor as well.jungledrums Thanks this. -
