Diet and Fitness While Traveling Tips Anyone?

Why are everyone's sweet potatos orange/redish but mine?
The sweet potatoes I buy at my local grocery store are more of a cream color, the yams right next to them have the reddish skin and the orange inside.

My body is sore and I can tell it needs some rest but it's…
