I ran out of water today around 90 ounces or so and I barely had enough water to be hydrated properly before I hit the sleeper bunk.  Dang!

Monday's challenge is the start of a VERY long day followed by a repeat tomorrow.  Plan plan plan!  No such thing as too busy to plan.  I had 30 minutes to spare between loads today so I go to stop in at home for a hot meal.  My favorite Sun dried and Basil Chicken sausages (brats)

Plenty water again today right at a gallon.  I bring a gallon jug to make sure I am actually drinking as much as I think.

Today's challenge was keeping my cool when I met Roddy Chong.  If you don't know him, he play's the fiddle (violin) and is known as one of the world's best violinists.  He has played for Shania Twain, Celine Dion and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra to name a few.  What an honor to hear his story as he tells of his journey to his achievements!

Today's challenge was to relax and visit Becca in Sioux Falls.  We had a great time at Jazz Fest!

The challenge today was my last day of the week on the road for 13 hours.  A short day actually by comparison.  The flat tire on the semi truck certainly complicated things, but the nutrition was planned and successful!

I was short on water today.  Probably around 100oz, but according to the barometer (urine color like apple juice) I was a bit behind.

The challenge today is my last day on the road before I get to go home tonight and do laundry, water my new tomatoes and stock up on more food for tomorrow!  I was all out of supplies and it was nice to fire up the grill today!  Here is a night time snack idea for you all.  It's tasty!

6 Hrs sleep in the truck

Wow, it's nice to be home!  I got a gallon of water again today and leave tomorrow for one more day trip before I'm home for a couple days.   the calories look low for the past couple days, but I assure you the omelets were large and the oatmeal/protein bars a What a busy week! 

Today's challenge is yet another day away from being home and the constant threat of not being prepared for eating and drinking water in 106 degree heat!  However, I was prepared and did well again.  Whew!

Another day another struggle to stay on track!  Another win is in the books as far as I am concerned.  Bloggin this stuff makes me eat better!  Water was around a gallon again, however it was hardly enough for the heat today.

I was challenged with an unplanned night of sleep in the truck and was caught without my MNS and only one day supply of food.  I hit up a small town grocery store to stock up as much as I can.
