At the airport this morning, I heard a voicemail from someone who asked, "Jason, will you share some of your ideas on how you travel AND continue with yur triathlon and nutrition programs?"
So, from my seat here with American Airlines, flight 2270, here are a couple of ideas I would like to share:
1) I always travel with workout gear, and I have at least 60 minutes of engaging exercise I can do in even the most limited of hotel gyms.
2) I am a triathlete. I am not an Ironman... This distinction is significant!
3) A part of my awareness is on the above fact. So, as I travel, exercise, work, rest, etc, I just filter everything through this question: "Is what I am doing something a triathlete would do?"
Try it out... What one word, right now, describes who you are? (Manager, parent, volunteer, friend...) Then, just ask yourself, "Is what I am doing as a ------ what I want to be doing?"
4) Drink more water today than yesterday. It's only 6:50am, and I have already consumed more than 17 ounces...I am well on my way to my normal 80 ounces a day!
5) Get a workout/nutrition partner, hire a coach, join a club, or/and subscribe to a magazine. Declare your successful outcome and gather the support you can use. I would not be where I am (physically, professionally, socially, financially, in every aspect of my life) without the guidance and support from my students, peers and mentors who have taught me along the way.
I am sure there is more, but I encourage you to consider those 5 things and get going!
