Thanks Dan I had surgery today for cancer and your post was just the right thing to keep my mind of the pain. Thanks for all the posts I have seen all of them. Keep the wheels turning.
Hey Dan, I’ve been “driving” computer monitors for 35 years as a desk jockey and just turned 56. We are similar in build, and the last 3 years have been tough, I think my metabolism took early retirement and did tell the rest of us who will be working at least another decade. Keep up the good work and Hi to Bailey!
I was a big bread eater and decided to lose some weight. I did not stop eating bread. I just cut back on how many slices of bread I eat a day. I used to eat about 8 to 10 slices a day, and now I cut it in half and drop 25 pounds. Find what works for you. What may work for someone else may not work for you.God bless safe travels
Started watching you about the same time as Indiana Jack. he's been gone for a while. Mayonnaise is full of bad stuff. Safe travels Dan trucked for 40 years lived the good ole days.I'm retired now. Still feel the chill when I see a Beautiful large car out for a stroll LOL. God Speed Dan.
the best thing you can do is reduce carbs/sugars and add more protein to your diet. add some intermittent fasting, 45 minutes to an hour of walking a day and the pounds will fall off. i lost 40 pounds doing this.
Bailey laying there... "Dog-gone It dad, where's mine". I used to cook breakfast for my pup and I, and it would be a good feed. Eggs, Sausages, Home Fries, Toast etc. I move at a pretty good pace in the kitchen, and having done this so many times, I'm running on autopilot. Obviously, I cook a pup-friendly version for my little girl. So it takes a couple of pans, the toaster, the coffee maker etc. But that morning, when I was done there had been a major malfunction. My plate and her bowl were side by side on the counter and I had home fries and toast, and her bowl had the eggs and sausages in with her dry food. Long story short, I had a vegan breakfast that day. My little girl, like Bailey is such a sweetheart and very considerate, she left me her dry kibble just in case I got hungry.
Dan as a forced retired driver I to was a big guy and in 2011 had a heart attack and my weight was a lot of what caused my heart attack so keep trying to get the weight down I we’ll never be able to go back to work it suck I finally got over 160 lb of weight loss but it was too late for me to be able to drive a truck so I’m praying for you that you keep working hard at getting healthy stay safe out there if we don’t have truckers we don’t have products for the stores 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏👍
Know exactly how you feel.. Since I was diagnosed with diabetes. My life has been going down hill. Didn't help that my wife passed away also. 30 years as a professional firefighter in Baltimore totally wore me out also. My saying has always been after 50 it's all DOWN HILL. Have a Great Day....
I been retired some 13yrs now and my truck belly is just starting to go. I've also lost 14lbs and that may be all to do with keep the lawn cut by hadpush electric mower. I'd guess ther are a lot of us that remember Bailey's first appearance.
Replace the bun with Egglife original egg white wraps. Occasionally microwave a piece of Jimmy Dean sausage and put that on your breakfast sandwich. You can find these in the frozen food section. I dropped 19 pounds through intermittent fasting, cutting carbs & sugars. Thank you Dan. Enjoyed the ride along.
I for one would love to see you do more cooking on the road videos. As a learning tool for new drivers on what they can make while being on the road as well. Just an idea
No meat substitute? lol Need a ham slices. Anyway, I thought when you got the shack that was to help with the diet rather than truckstop/fast food? Well, enjoy.
Hi Dan always a pleasure driving along with you and Bailey. Brings back the great memories of when I was out on the road. You and Bailey drive safe from Tim in NS Canada.
Dan, Cooking on the road is a challenge for sure, I cook on the truck as well. Besides the cost savings it does allow you to control what you eat. Safe travels driver.
I'm older than you, Dan and I've found it helpful, weightwise, to seriously cut down on Carbs, I barely touch them in Summer. I know you're still working, so probably need them more than I do anymore.
Hey Dan, thank for the reminder to stay out of Walcott this weekend. If you like PBJ sandwiches, those uncrustables are good in a pinch. Fattening but good
Hey Chef Dan. Bailey was intently watching your cooking and must have OK’d everything ;-). When you detoured to avoid the stretch of toll road, I got to wondering how much truckers have to pay in tolls in addition to all the fuel taxes. Thanks and drive safely.
i messed up once and US 30 off of I-80 at Juliett going east. that was the 1st time i ever ran into so many stop and go lights later i was told to follow I080 to I-65 south THEN take Us 30 east, less stop and go lights; at the time it was a 2 lane highway, but i hear they've widened it further east. wasnt many truck stops to part or rest areas on that route. hated driving it at night.
Dan, I UBER to planet fitness or I park very near a Planet Fitness...No body knows, I am a trucker unless I tell them...because I work out so frequently...hope it helps.
Dan, u won’t believe this. Today for lunch made Exactly chicken sandwich. I just added mayo, a little dry parsley an pepper. Good idea for egg sandwich. Take care drive safe.
I know you mentioned I-88 but stay away from I-80 through Joliet. All under construction. You get there at the wrong time, you'll wish you didn't even bother lol.
I switched to a low carb diet after I started trucking. I lost 50 lbs. I gain some of it back when I'm at home. You can do carnivore, keto, atkins, etc. Or just check on the Glucose Goddess and follow some of her recommendations.
