Day 65: A New Leaf?

Okay.  I DO need to lose this weight.

So I'm listening to my Beloved's parents, who are advocating a plant-based diet.  At their behest, I read "The China Study" and it seems to offer a really healthy way of eating, with weight loss as a bonus.

So I employed my learning here at EX regarding "changing my thinking" in order to view a plant-based diet as a positive change, as a new opportunity for health, as a wonderful new way of living that will help me be healthier and lose weight.

I got to my layover hotel room tonight with a lunchbox containing a homemade White Bean & Tomato Salad,  Spring Green Salad, almonds, olives, bananas and a few other non-meat snacks.

So, I'm unpacking all my healthy food and putting it all on ice when I glance out the hotel window...

An IN 'n OUT BURGER just across the parking lot.  With a sign flashing "Sky...sky...sky...we have a juicy cheeseburger just waiting for you...."  Ok, maybe not that last part, but... 

This ain't gonna be easy.

About the Author
I'm a 64 year-old flight attendant for a major US airline. Prior to that, I owned an ice cream store and six hot dog carts and put my five kids thru college on hot dog earnings! Prior to THAT, I was Director of International Administration for Domino's Pizza, Inc. I was married to my H.S. sweetheart (dad of my 5 kids) for 17 years. I've been with Jeff for 23 years, but we just finally got married in 2016! Jeff & I live in Cape Meares, OR right on the beach. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI, where many of my kids/relatives still live. My flying base is Washington, DC, where I have a condo that I stay in when I'm between flying trips. My dream is to retire and stay home with Jeff and my two cats, Kenneth & Barbara...not happening soon, though. So I go home whenever I can get a week or more off. I LOVE to meet up with other EXers in the cities where I lay over. I usually blog about what cities I'm laying over in, so let me know if I'm staying near you! I'll buy dinner!! Xxxooo, Sky
