One of the great perks of being a consultant is that you get
to eat out at awesome places and try new foods all the time. One of the problems with being a consultant
is that you have to eat out ALL the time.
I love trying new foods.
When I found out I would be coming to Des Moines, I spent several nights
on tripadvisor, yelp and google searching for all the restaurants I needed to try. Within my first week on site I probably had
at least a dozen different places bookmarked.
And, this might not be such a problem if I hadn’t bookmarked places like
Zombie Burger; where you can get a bacon cheeseburger made with grilled cheese sandwich
buns. (Yes, I ordered this. And yes, it made me feel very, very sick).
So, after a couple months of eating like that, I decided it
was time I improve my habits. And, for
the month of January, I did great. Ate a
ton of salads, fish, chicken and veggies.
As a general rule, I wouldn’t even look at the burger/sandwich section
of the menu. But, then when birthday
month came along, every meal was a new excuse to try something new. And, I quickly slipped back into my diet of
cheeseburgers and fries.
Every couple weeks, I tell myself I’m going to start making
changes and eating healthier. No more
french fries, no more deep fried appetizers.
And, then within a day or two I hear about a new amazing place that I
just HAVE to try before leaving Des Moines.
Or, I hear that the new hotel I’m at has free chocolate cake in the
lounge.
So, I guess I’ll start eating healthier tomorrow, one night
can’t hurt, I tell myself.... But, until then, I’ll just work on trying to find
more new and exciting salads to fill in the gaps and try again the next day.
