My formula for this is simple. Keep your fridge and dry pantry area loaded with healthy food. I’ve found that wanting to snack while driving is usually out of boredom. Don’t really matter what it is as long as your snack and something so you might as well snack on like some veggie chips or nuts or even carrot sticks. That deals with the snacking urges… as for exercise, it all depends on my sleeping. If I’m getting good sleep I can drive 600 miles and get out and walk 5 miles and even lift some weights that I bring on the truck. If I’ve been getting crappy sleep, the exercise gets postponed. But I get it in religiously on average 4-5 days a week. I find I’ll start eating crappy and gaining weight when I run out of my own food to cook on the truck. That’s when I start eating crap. Stop at Walmart 1-2 times a week and buy real groceries. when you’re done driving, I’ll admit it’s hard to get motivated to get out and do some exercise but trust me when you do? You’ll feel so much better. You just have to force yourself.[/QUOTE]
