Well, the verdict is in....(My traveling Localvore Challenge)
The challenge was tougher than expected. The reason why? Being on Reserve can get tricky.
I was called to be at the airport for a standby call out at 5 AM on April 1st. Yes, I know it's April Fool's Day, but this was the reality and definitely no joke! So, I awoke at 2:30ish, got dressed and headed out. I arrived at the airport and checked the computer to find I had a 3 day trip. Gone for 3 days with only a small amount of "local food." I started the early morning before leaving home with a blueberry, strawberry (local) smoothie. As the day moved on, I stayed true to local food. But, once I arrived at my hotel room, I was guess? STARVING!!!!! I had to have a salad with protein (not local, and I could definitely tell) and I did. So, yeah, messed up some, but was expecting to. I am human. I did okay for the first day of my trip. My day was very long and after evaluating my nutrition, calories, etc. ,I realized I need to eat more when I work. Always something to work on!
