Walking it off

[kaseymoe]

Good job and good tips. I find that hunger goes away on its own- just ignore it for an hour and it'll fade. We get hungry and eat or use junk food like chips but doing nothing will also get you through it. I usually don't follow that advice and like most eat then eat too much but I'm trying to watch it more. Weight gain is more problem over 50 than under and the mostly sedentary life of trucking compounds the problem. Lots more overweight than skinny-assed truckers.

I'm not driving anymore but used to always hit the eastbound I-70 Welcome Area in Indiana - plenty of truck parking and a circle sidewalk that made for a decent walking path although noisy. I'd circle that six or eight times many nights to work out the kinks and get things moving after the run from KC to the Indiana line.

The days are starting to get longer again, and the weather nicer... so I'm hoping to add regular walking back into the mix. It's hard to do in the winter time. Back in the fall, I was walking upwards of 10 miles a week. One of the nice things about trucking; there's always new scenery around the corner to see on your daily walk. :)
