    Keeping True to My Lifestyle while Traveling

    Diets on the Road
    I like to think of myself as a machine when it comes to my lifestyle diet when it comes to eating as I do everything is in life.  I think no matter where I’m at or what I’m doing I can be consistent in trying to achieve the goals I want.  
     
    Now do I fall off the wagon and have some bad weeks?  YES! Of course I’m human!  But I plan for them.  Like last month when I was out of town for three weeks caddying for Ryan I planned for having a bad week or so knowing I was going to Nashville, Louisiana and Georgia.  So I didn’t let it upset me that I did not watch my diet.   ( I love the local food in Nashville and Louisiana). 
     
    However on most trips I am still very consistent when it comes to what I eat.  For BFY Life  I wrote a three part series on how I travel and keep consistent with my diet.  Now I try to maintain a plant-based protein diet that is vegan focused however the tools and things I do can work for any lifestyle diet.

    Why I Stopped Drinking

    But that is not always the case.  And is the case with me, and I could never put into words exactly why I stopped, I’ve told different people, different reasons over the years.  I heard a snippet from The Ellen Show a few weeks ago when Ellen was interviewing John Mayer.  
    At the time of writing this I had stopped drinking over 1200 days ago.  I shared that not because I want a pat on the back, or an ‘atta boy’ but to share that this wasn’t something I’ve recently done.  It has been a lifestyle change.  Usually when someone stops drinking it is typically because from something negative such as they are an alcoholic or health issues, and it usually has a negative vibe to it.  

    But that is not always the case. And is the case with me, and I could never put into words exactly why I stopped, I’ve told different people, different reasons over the years. I heard a snippet from The Ellen Show a few weeks ago when Ellen was interviewing John Mayer.

And for the first time that explanation was perfect on how I felt about drinking.

    The day I gave it up the plan was for six weeks.  I wanted  a set of abs, and I was always told to give up drinking for 6-8 weeks in order to get them.  At this point, I had  at friend living with me who was a World Famous Chippendale, so waking up every morning seeing him walking around with abs and what not, I became a bit jealous.  I thought I was working harder then him at the gym, eating cleaner, and drinking less than him.  But he had abs and I didn’t.  He kept telling me give up the drinking for a while.  I think he stopped for 2 years, so I did.  
     
    Once week 6 came around I noticed some body changes and I was addicted to wanting more of changes.  My skin got better, my weight went down, my muscle tone went up, and I was sold this was the right thing for me to do.   And I’m still working on better abs but I have some popping now.  Once you learn how to go out and not have to be drunk to have a good time, it is easy to not want to go back.  I think it bothers people more that I’m not drinking then it ever bothers me that people drink or get drunk.  But to be honest “the more you drink the funner i am so drink away” is my go to comment.

    Will I Drink Again?

    Conclusion

    If you or someone you know needs help of how to stop the drinking, I suggest seeking professional assistance if it is something you can’t do on your own.  If you want to hear more about journey or if I can answer more of your questions on it, please reach out to me. As much I enjoyed drinking I enjoy not equally as much.   The biggest difference is when I go out.  Nights that are boring are more boring,  while the nights that are great nights for going out are way better.  So the lows are more low and the highs are more high.  Everything has a balance and its no different when it comes to drinking.  If you are wondering how great nights out are better sober then not, it is very simple.  For one, you remember the night!  Which goes for the second reason, you are more present, instead of being foggy.  

    What to Use Your Tax Refund On

    I recently wrote a blog for my Financial / Insurance company Forever Young Financial and Insurance discussing how you should invest your tax refund.  I see all too often a lot of my friends and clients wasting their refunds on what I call vanity purchases. Invest Your Tax RefundTo me a vanity purchase would be a new tv, designer clothes, a car and so on. 
     
    I understand it is your money that you’ve earn throughout the year, but if you think about it really think about it, how much gratification does this purchase give you?  It may feel good for a day or so, but buying these vanity purchases have no long term effect on you.  But you know what does? Investing in your future self.  
     
    Setting yourself up for retirement little at time takes that  elephant out of the room and makes it manageable.  If your refund is $3,000 why not take $1,500 and invest it in something that will make your retirement that much easier.  You still have $1500 left over to purchase something for yourself.   
     
    Before you get spend that refund, I suggest reaching out to me, or someone at Forever Young and discuss a plan.   You can read my blog here.  Please send me a message or start a discussion below.  Someone like you is think the same thing, however they are waiting on YOU to start the discussion.
