My diet needs a lot of improvement!

This video was produced by a dancer; but as she states, it\’s not for dancers only.

I ought to take a hint or two from it. Junk food is so hard to avoid when I\’m away from home during the working week; and I need to make a greater effort to pack along carrot sticks, apple wedges, etc. to munch on. Aside from their being more nutritious and lower in calories, I could  save the (shocking!) several bucks PER DAY that I all too often spend for snacks!

On-bike food is another story; at least for me. My rice cakes come out too soft. Once I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and cut it into four; but it was too bulky to fit into my on-bike snack bag very well.  That\’s why I\’ve gotten into the habit of using Clif Bars, and the like.

I eat far too many sweets, that\’s for sure! Avoid salt? I\’ve been told — by at least one doctor — to eat salt, because my blood pressure tends to run low. Avoiding gluten would make sack lunches rather a problem, unless I could find gluten-free bread. Sandwiches are much more portable than, say, rice and beans. But as Ms. Morgan says, find out what works for you.

The problem with me is, I\’m lazy; both when it comes to diet and my training!
