You tell yourself this trip will be different. You’ll hit the hotel gym. You’ll eat clean. You won’t let the client dinners or late-night drinks throw you off.
But deep down? You already know how this ends.
Another early flight. Another airport breakfast. Another packed schedule where “I’ll just grab something quick” turns into whatever’s closest. Another round of drinks. Another half-assed attempt at the gym, if you even bother.
By the time you get home, you feel like garbage. Bloated. Exhausted. Convinced you just undid weeks of progress in two days.
And worst of all? This cycle isn’t stopping. Because work travel isn’t going away.
So if every trip leaves you feeling like you’ve fallen off track, it’s time for a different approach.
This isn’t about avoiding the dinners, skipping the drinks, or forcing yourself through some miserable routine. It’s about learning how to travel like the guy who’s actually in control.
Because when you get this right? The trips stop throwing you off. You stop feeling like you need to “reset” every time you come home. And your results? They stop depending on the calendar.
