Just not feeling it...

After a weekend of traveling, great exercise, and eating out way too much. My body has just wanted to shut down this week. I know eating out is a big culprit. I am trying to find a balance to get back to eating the way I do normally, but it seems nothing is helping. I know that gluten is almost always ingested when eating out. That is why I usually only eat out once a week for girls night and its usually at a safe place. I ate out 3 times in 3 days, at not so safe places. My stomach feels awful and sore.

3 days of not working out and just wanting to sleep the morning away, I finally got up and did 30 minutes on the elliptical today. I had hoped for more, but the way I am feeling, that was all I could do.

I get really bloated and gain weight when this happens. Not to mention feeling major fatigue, headaches, forgetfulness and anger. I will remember this week for a long time. I have not braved food out like that in a long time (so long I didn't remember) and hope to remember what I feel like and not do it again. Not to mention its expensive!

Today is a new day and I am going to concentrate on getting back to basics. Only raw food items. No processed and minimal veggies.

On the road

This week I am working as a reserve flight attendant. Please forgive the picture, it was taken with my blackberry. I am gone from home for 6 days this trip. Which the Beanie does not like at all. Yes, that is a satin pillow she is sleeping on.


I pack a lot of my own food, which includes protein bars, and gluten free snacks. I look at my schedule and decide what I am going to eat each day. I write a little letter of the week so I know what day to eat it on and I don't consume another days food on accident.

Then I try to eat as many fruits and veggies as possible. When I go out to eat I usually order a steak. The hotels usually have some sort of fruit for breakfast and if we go out I always order a double side of steamed veggies, no seasoning.

I stay in a new, I should say different not necessarily new... hotel every night. Some have microwaves and refrigerators, some do not. Monday nights hotel in Salt Lake City, I will not mention because I had to have them change the sheets, and it was just a dirty room. This was my view from the balcony though. The mountains are so close they are amazing.

This is our plane at the airport in Salt Lake City, check out the mountains, it had just started to snow as we were getting ready to leave. The snow flakes were huge. I have not seen snow in so long I can not even remember when or where.

Today's hotel is much better.We are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn, in Burlington, MA. This was the scene when we arrived. It was cold and windy and rainy!

The hotel is equipped with everything one could need.


Not only are the rooms equipped with microwaves and refrigerators, it also has an in room coffee pot, so after getting in at 3am I did not have to go down and get breakfast to get coffee.

If you are a Hilton Honors member you receive water upon checking in. You can also receive complementary breakfast, if you are a platinum or diamond member, which I am not yet, but the other people in my crew are and have offered to take me as their guest to breakfast. Which, I did not take them up on this morning, because like I mentioned earlier, I got in at 3am. The apples picture below are from the front desk this morning. Which I will probably save for later.


Last night, or early this morning I should say, after I checked in I snagged an orange and had that for a late breakfast.

I had lunch plans with a friend that lives here, but he could not get out of a meeting, so we are supposed to do dinner. So for lunch I decided on popcorn (brought from home) because I am not really that hungry, even though I ate the whole bag.

I did not workout in the fitness center today. Just too tired after such a long day yesterday. I am off to take a nap before my dinner with an old friend, then I will be off to Toronto tonight.

Dinner with my little love

Tonight I had dinner with my little love tonight, she ate kibbles, and I made a green monster which contained 2 cups of spinach, 1 banana, and 1 cup almond milk. I also made Micro-Bakers Yam with cinnamon and butter. YuM!
