Healthy truckers!

Eating right and doing 30 mins of physical activity is all it takes

 

1. I always go around the buffet to the right.
2. I always spend at least 30 mins a day running my mouth on the cb.
So I should be good to go.

 

Careful- you dont want to overtrain

I keep a small stair stepper in the truck. I keep some dumbbells in the truck. I have a portable gymnast mat under my matress (planking, situps and leg lifts). I keep my backpack full of my trail gear, in my passenger seat. I'm taking 5 months off, beginning in April, to hike the Pacific Crest Trail (2700 miles from Mexico to Canada). This is what I do, after 18 years of truckin.

 

all of the above, plus i park 2 miles from the truck stop unless fueling up and walk back, do all my unloading, stopped drinking soda, and have become a fitness instructor !

 

I try to make as much as I can on the truck. I try to limit sodas and drink tea or water instead. I also try not to eat within a couple of hours of bed. Avoiding as much bread as possible helps too. Walking is always good as well. My next challenge to my self is to quit smoking

 

Eat early afternoon. Ride my bicycle when i can, walk sometimes. Pushups using fenders. Watch what i eat.

 

Loading 48000 pounds, drive a while, however far, get out unload and restack all that 48000 pounds.

Take a nap enough to drive out the white line fever. Eat some steak and eggs etc.

Reload 48000 in the morning, do it again unloading every day. It was not a problem until I hit my late 30's

I stayed 135 to 155 max soaking wet most of my trucking years simply through the very hard work. I did not care what I ate, sometimes in winter I consumed 8000 calories but stayed in the same weight and kept fit.

Ever since I stopped trucking in 2009 or so, Ive managed to lose weight out of the 300 pound problem back below say 185 which is where I need to be for my future. Considering the problems I have. I can no longer consume that many calories without getting obese. So I am careful what I eat.
