Road Warrior Weight Loss

In this blog I hope to help you navigate through the difficulties of travelling on the road. Us Road Warriors enjoy our jobs but can sometimes neglect our own needs as we are stretched thin from life's many demands. I've been battling the bulge and Road Warrior lifestyle for 5 years now and think I'm finally starting to learn some things to pass along to others. I hope to share what I've learned to help each one of you live healthier and more successful lives through fitness, nutrition, mental health, and education. I've had a lot of ups and downs and hope to hear from you about your experiences and challenges. What are some things you would like to talk about? What would you like to see happen on this site?  Please post your responses to these questions in the comments section below.

I want to help you lead a less stressful, healthier, active and well balanced life by helping you stay accountable and by pushing you to ask yourselves the tough questions about weight loss and work life balance. I will help you be successful in life by researching ways to better help you with your health and fitness goals because I love talking to people about and helping them reach their potential.

The more I travel and network with people in the airports, the more I realize business men and women are just as clueless as I was when it comes to taking care of themselves. Executives who are making a ton of money who are extremely intelligent and business savvy are too busy researching their industry, the competition, and how to make their team or business more efficient that they don't take the necessary time to take care of themselves. This actually hurts their productivity and long term potential.

Zig Ziglar first discussed the 7 spokes of life and has shown that the better balanced your life is, the more fulfilled you are.

I've met people who on paper should be the happiest people on the planet, but they aren't. They have everything anyone could want except for happiness. Why is this? What are the reasons? Through my research I've found out that it has a lot to do with this wheel of life. I plan on diving into each one in more depth in later blog posts. We all know that food affects our energy levels but I never realized that it can alter our moods and the way we enjoy life.

I hope to be able to bring you Road Warriors weekly insights to promote your success in life and increase your metabolism and emotional intelligence. I want you to shed pounds and stress. I'll also chronicle my current path and journey and let you all comment on my strengths and weaknesses. I am not perfect and don't eat perfectly every day. I will however push to reach my goals and live a great life.  I want to create tools to help each one of you out so you can reach your potential and hit your goals as well.

Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you soon. Please email me comments, questions, concerns or just to chat at roadwarriorweightloss@gmail.com.
