Friday I worked until noon, raced home, packed, then went to the gym for a mile running (6.3 mph), a mile walking (4 mph) and back + biceps – great workout! Then I headed home, hopped in the shower, grabbed Reuben, packed up the food and went to pick up Austin. We drove into Auburn and, I kid you not, I fell asleep in the car. I NEVER do that! Weird! We got to Teresa & Forrest’s new house – SO CUTE! Loved it – they did an awesome job picking out their paint colors, granite, etc. – everything was so nice! Reuben was excited to – to see Daisy and Cassie, their puppers! We visited, got ready, then went out to dinner with friends and then to 1716 to drink/chat! No rain – lovely! We left the bar, went home and stayed up talking until 4 a.m.ish… – eek! I had a blast, and ended up at 2,226 calories, 229 carbs, 30 fat grams and 94 protein grams. Yes, we drank all night and 673 calories were alcohol. That HURT, especially since I only burned 334 at the gym – eek! Here’s what I ate and drank.
Saturday I woke up at 11 a.m. Still tired. Oh no! But it was time to get it together, get going and get to the tailgate! We left around 1 p.m., Forrest went to work at his store and we walked to the tailgate, Reuben in tow! We had a great time seeing Andy, Mon, Andrew, Laura Anne, Ellen, Nick, Candice, Jamie and everybody – GREAT to catch up! About 30 minutes to game time it was raining. And kind of miserable. We decided not to buy tickets and to just go to the house. If the game was good, we would go to the bars. We walked back, walked into the store and then MONSOON. Oh my! We drove home, got in cozy clothes and then I knew we weren’t going to make it out again! And we didn’t! It continued raining... all night. But we still had a blasty and I got in bed by midnight – MUCH more reasonable! I ended up at 1,835 calories, 172 carbs, 66 fat grams and 100 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.
Sunday I woke up at 8 a.m. and blogged a little, then went down and watched some HGTV with the crew, then we headed out to Atlanta. I packed ALL of our meals, but we left not hungry, then got hungry on the road, so I had a junior cheeseburger at Wendy’s. Guh. It hurt my tummy. Then we got home, unpacked, showered, and CHILLED. I did next to nothing and it was STILL pouring rain. Instead of dinner I had tons of snacks – not good! I ended up at 1,837 calories, 222 carbs, 69 fat grams and 86 protein grams. Here’s what I ate. I went to bed early…. Had a feeling the weather was going to be nightmarish the next day…
Today I woke up and I was right…. AWFUL weather all night, thundered and kept me up, etc. Grrrr. I got in the car at 7:10 – 20 minutes before normal. I got in at 8:10. I traveled at, on average, 5 mph. Oh my. I got in and it was still storming and everyone was late, some couldn’t even make it because of flooding – eek! I stayed busy, and during lunch I tried to work out but the gym was SO crowded because the outdoor runners were on the treadmills. Me and Stacy did chest, triceps and shoulders – and walked 2 miles. The plan was to go back after work and walk 2.5 more miles… but at 3:20ish shit hit the fan and Atlanta was closing down quickly, side streets flooding, etc. So we were all free to go. By 3:45 I was out of there… in the car for another hour and 15 minutes. Then HOME!! I got in bed, watched TV, and then me and Austin made dinner and some meals for the week – not too bad! Our power hasn’t even gone out (knock on wood!) and NO it hasn’t quit raining. Sigh. So glad we got the new roof! Anywho, I ended up at 1,686 calories, 225 carbs, 49 fat grams and 74 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

A few questions:
When you travel, do you pack all of your own meals/snacks?
If not, what do you do to make sure you eat “good.”
If so, do people think you’re crazy? :)
K –I’m off to read your blogs. I promise more pictures tomorrow, as well as two new recipes!!
