A couple weeks ago, before the world got turned upside down because of the Corona Virus, I mentioned in a blog that I was going to incorporate chicken and turkey into my weekly diet. Well, full disclosure, that did not happen. Even though that did not happen and I did eat a few meals of fatty fried foods, I have still made some choices regarding my nutrition that I am very proud of. Interestingly enough, my normal diet and normal routine was thrown off this past week. I took a trip to Massachusetts, and I did not cook at all! However, that did not completely take away all health food and cooked meals from my diet. Before getting on the plane in Denver, I tried my hand at some sushi. This was the second time in my life I have ever eaten sushi, and I have to say it is not bad! Of course, it was not super real sushi that I could find by the coast in the summertime, but it definitely is not something I hate. While in MA, I ate everything from buffalo wings to cheeseburgers to corn beef. While those do not sound too incredibly healthy, I made sure to keep my intake of these items to a minimum. In the past, when I would see buffalo wings, I would go nuts and eat way too many. However, on this occasion, I feel I ate an amount that would not be too detrimental to the way my body felt. When I got back from MA is when I started making the bulk of the choices that I am proud of. Currently in a quarantine (day 5), I have had little options of what to eat, but have made do with what I have available. Everyday, I have had a small snack of pepperoni, cheese, and crackers between main meals. For my main meals, I have eaten a salad with a hamburger on the side, sloppy joes with vegetables, and a salad with pasta and sauce. I have even snacked on fruits like bananas, apples, and avocados. I am proud of the choices I have made since being in quarantine. I know that I did not eat super healthy on my trip to MA, but have “made up for it” in a way with the nutritious choices the last five days. I have been eating a salad per day for goodness sake… that’s crazy!

Anytime I travel, I always struggle with eating healthy. So I don't blame you for not eating completely heathy. However, I like how you were being careful with how much food you were consuming.

It is very difficult, especially if you do not have a choice on what you are going to eat! You have to eat something, right?

I LOVE sushi. I am not sure where your hometown is, but any somewhat big city has decent sushi and is a great option for healthy eating. A great tool that I use to find cheap, easy, and healthy recipes in pinterest. I know its super girly, but its honestly an awesome site for recipes!!

There is no sushi in my hometown as it is pretty small, similar to Chadron. I gotta go down to Denver if I want some Sushi!

I was talking to a gentleman, and his diet is 73% raw. I thought I would give it a try with some raw fish!

This is a hard time for everyone I have not eat like I normally do and I have not had time to do many things that need to be done because of this virus and it hard home schooling my kids.

I am so bad when I go on trips! It sounds like you did way better than I could! I was in quarantine all of last week. It definitely makes you appreciate being able to go to the grocery store. Also, quarantine definitely increased my cooking skills out of necessity.

I like how you say "out of necessity". Isn't that the truth? In the past week I have resorted to some frozen pizzas. Not the best, but not the worst.

I worked at Chilis for a year and my diet suffered during that time! I am impressed you still met your goals even while working at Applebee's.
