Thanks you guys - the Forrest of Hands and Teeth was really a GREAT book and I SO appreciate the eating-on-the-road tip. I took your suggestions as much as possible!! Also, a few answers - YES, I LOVED the Hunger Games series and me and my mom agree, it IS similar to that. And the little red pillow with the bird was purchased here online. K - here goes my weekend - looking forward to seeing what you all were up to!
Friday it was off to Charleston! Me and Mon took off at 12:30 and enjoyed our 5+ hour catch up session. SO FUN to catch up with her. I think we do a great job of keeping up and staying connected but you can’t beat a long car ride to get up to speed on a bestie. Enjoyed it! We got into town, got ready, and then it was off to Taco Boy for dinner (2 tacos – one chicken and one mushroom – both amazing). We had a few drinkies, took a few pictures and then it was back to the hotel for late night PJ party, shenanigans and nonstop talking! Nothing says girls night like practicing yoga poses and seeing if we could still do the splits. Yes, it was like THAT. Haha Love. :) I ended up at 2,355 calories, 179 carbs, 85 fat grams and 108 protein grams. Here’s what I ate and drank.
Saturday I woke up EARLY. TOM pain. BLAH. Mon did too (for the same reason) – we are so unlucky! So we hit up Starbuck’s where I took your advice and got that yummy egg, spinach and feta wrap. AMAZING! Then we went back to the hotel. Everyone was still asleep so we ventured back out to a trip to Wholefoods. I got lots of new goodies to try – can’t wait! In the meantime I had two new products: the Larabar Peanutbutter Cookie and Parmesan Pop Chips. Um YUM! Loved them both for sure. The peanutbutter cookie really filled me up and I loved how natural it tasted! I can definitely see myself eating these again. The pop chips felt “guilty” if you will and had lots of flavor, but the nutritional information was awesome – I can’t wait to try some new flavors. When we got back the girls were up and it was time for the beach. We chilled on the beach, walked a couple of miles, then headed back to get ready, do the lingerie shower/games and then it was time for dinner at Coast Bar & Grill where I got a grilled salmon salad and a mojito. BOTH were amazing! Then the drinking and bar hopping commenced at Midtown Bar & Grill and Trio Lounge – GOOD times had by all, especially the bachelorette of course. I haven’t downloaded my pics yet, but here’s a few I snagged from Lindsey on Facebook!!
Arriving at Coast
I ended the night at 2,602 calories, 219 carbs, 78 fat grams and 85 protein grams. The drinking + late night chips/salsa were no friend to my calorie counts. Eek! Here’s what I ate and drank.
Sunday we got up and headed home. Nothing too eventful outside of yet another fabulous 5+ hour catch up session with Mon! I will say that I created my own concoction at Subway. I wanted something WARM like pizza but didn’t want to have to go in anywhere or anything. So I made a flatbread with their chicken, white American cheese and a scoop of marinara sauce. Then I topped it with oregano and had them toast it. AWESOME. We got home around 4ish but I had to go get Reuben by 5 so the day felt shot. I got home, unpacked, showered and RESTED. Reuben rested too (although when I got to the boarder’s he was asleep on the desk in pupper bed with a Chihuahua named Tink). Austin got home from Nashville shortly thereafter, and we preceded to chill out, have a couple of slices of Papa John’s and call it a night! I ended up at 1,617 calories, 217 carbs, 53 fat grams and 77 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.
Q: Do you ever make up your own meals at restaurants? If so, what’s the best thing you’ve ever “made”?
Q: Ever been on a Bachelorette Party? If so, do you enjoy them? What is your favorite part?
