2A Daily News – Friday, October 19, 2012 Community people&events Birth — Merlo Healthy travels Since the nature of a career of speaking to others about habit changes requires more than a fair amount of time "on the road," it behooves me to master the skill of eating healthy while traveling. Else wise, surviving on the "100% muffin, cookie, and pretzel diet" offered in planes and airports would cause me to gain back my weight — resulting in the loss of my livelihood and taking with it any credibility I might have in writing this column.

She was welcomed by her big brother Max Garrison Merlo, her grandparents Fred and Jill Botts of Los Molinos and Larry and Loya Merlo of Durham, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Community Clip? e-mail: clerk@red- bluffdailynews.com November 3, 2012 Rolling Hills Casino, Luncheon & Boutique Saturday, Cattle Women's Fashion Show, Corning Reservations by October 26th Tickets $ 529-9679 to 28.00 As I put pen to paper (more accurately "keyboard to word processor"), I find myself deter- mined finally to be successful in my travel and dieting endeavors. "Failure to plan," is "planning given that only the pure shall henceforth be allowed passage. In my overstuffed carry-on suitcase, there is a food diary to record each calorie, taken direct- ly from a booklet contain- ing the nutritional make- up of more than 17,000 foods from five conti- nents. Only those with the appropriate glycemic index shall be chosen. To quench my thirst, I to fail." Therefore, utilizing all the marvels of the world wide web, I first researched which restaurants near my destination excel in "fit fare cuisine," and printed out maps with walking directions from my hotel to said establishments. By forsaking taxi- cabs, I am ensuring that I will get the requisite activity level to pre- vent weight gain. Furthermore, should my body be a temple, than notice is hereby have opted for the clarify- ing, clear, cleansing choice of bottled water, rather than sucking down syrupy, sweet, sugary sodas. Instead of the unhealthful indul- gence in a vodka martini to relax, I unwind with a delightful kiss of lime added to a refreshingly cold glass of tomato juice spiked with just a hint of Worchester sauce. As for the omnipresent treats, nary an icing-covered, foil- wrapped, oatmeal cookie has yet crossed my lips. Moreover, those small, individually packaged trail mix bags with delectable chunks of lightly salted cashews, dried Scott Q. Marcus pineapple, and apricot bits, have gone untouched. Even the siren-like seductive summons of the tanta- lizingly crunchy, oh-so- delightful toffee-coated peanuts has fallen upon deaf ears. I am convinced I've got this traveling thing mastered. Of course, the real test will come when I actually leave my dri- veway.
