Challenges to Eating Healthy

Yesterday I left my home and traveled to a small community in Batavia, NY. I will be here for the rest of the week and I am realizing just how user unfriendly the area is in regards to healthy food options. The only restaurant options for eating are fast food and restaurants that have highly processed foods. So I thought I'd visit the local Starbucks hoping to find a healthy sandwich or salad. No luck with that idea since they offer the broad menu in bigger cities and Batavia is not a big city. I honestly almost started to panic wondering how I'd survive this week and soon began to realize how mainstream America must think I'm a little nutty in my approach to health and wellness. Luckily I was able to get a refrigerator and microwave delivered to my room and I found a Wal-Mart down the road. I purchased some basic groceries and asked the kitchen staff to open my can of beans and albacore tuna. She gladly gave me a plate and utensils and I am now feeling good!

The next time you're challenged while on the road there are some things you can choose that are still great options. For example, fruits and plenty of water are great. Teas and salads are also good if they do not have preservatives or msg in them. It takes some investigating but from my point of view, I'm worth it. And you are too!
