New to NF

[mootron5k]

I'm a 27 year old who travels a LOT for work. I average about 70% of the year on the road. Over the last 2 years I gained close to 50 pounds. Mostly due to poor diet. I stumbled across NF by way of google search of "how to eat healthy while traveling". I've been reading NF for a few weeks and signed up a couple of days ago. I've been impressed with the community's sense of support and extensive knowledge. I'm transitioning to full paleo over the next few months. I will be there by November. I need to get back into the kind of shape I was in while in the Navy. I have two young boys, who I would like to see grow up to be successful and healthy. So I must lead by example, I can't expect them to be healthy while I'm eating junk and sitting around all day. I have been tracking my intake for the last two weeks and am definitely going to have to make some substantial changes. The good news is: I am armed for success (thanks to NF). I'm taking it a few small changes every week and will be eating healthy and leveling up my fitness in no time. I'm excited to become a part of the rebellion.

Sounds like you've had a 'comin' to Jesus' about your health. You'll find a lot of members use parenthood and 'being an example' as motivation. Admirable.

 

Good luck and welcome!

Welcome!

 

Ones own children are great motivators, aren`t they? I`m glad you decided to take part in the forums. If you need any help on information or just a friendly push don´t hesitate to ask!

Thanks for the comments. I've been away from NF for a few days (118 hour work week). I have however been keeping up with the dietary changes and squeezing in the 20min hotel room workout every other day. I've figured out that the hotel microwave can be used to do more than reheat domino's. I found a microwave omelette maker and can't believe how awesome the result is. I've saved money ~$1.00 for eggs and veggies everyday instead of $15 everyday for pizza. Sure they bring me the pizza and I don't have to even talk to a person to get it, but making my own hotel food tastes better, keeps me feeling full longer and is a lot cheaper. I've even been asked by my wife where to find info on paleo. I directed her to NF and she's taking steps to modify everyone's diet. We're lucky to have 2 healthy boys, we're going to do everything we can to keep it that way.
