Rebuild

My workout must have been hard today because I had that hot feeling in my head and body and a raving appetite this afternoon!

After racing around the house trying to get things done for our trip tomorrow, I packed some snacks in my bag and headed down to class. By 5:00 when I got there, I was starving and ready to eat:

Oikos topped with Erewhon raisin bran and extra raisins

IMG_4666 (640x480)

It helped quench my hunger some, but by 6PM I was already ready for snack #2

IMG_4667 (640x480)

It was such a beautiful day that we took our Community Nutrition class outside! We had a discussion about obesity and overweight and the complications with both in an amphitheater.

IMG_4670 (640x480)

And luckily because it got dark, we were let out early! PERFECT timing because I was hungry and headed to Karen’s for a late dinner.

I got a text from Matt that he was drinking Mark West Pinot – one of our favorites. I raced to get there for a glass!!

IMG_4675 (640x480)

Karen had made us chili! (Onion free! Thanks Karen!) It was made with ground turkey and kidney beans and was simple and totally delicious (sorry I don’t have the recipe).

Topped with shredded cheese + Oikos –

IMG_4672 (640x480)

We also had chopped veggie salads with Annie’s Woodstock

IMG_4673 (640x480)

IMG_4671 (640x480)

We ate while watching our evening entertainment – Ken Burns’ documentary on the national parks in preparation for our trip to Yellowstone next weekend!! Yes, we’re going to THE Yellowstone next weekend!! We’re flying up to Montana for our final round of Great Harvest franchise interviews and couldn’t pass up an extra day to visit the park. I feel like I’m going from summer –> winter in one flight. There’s already snow! I’m a bit worried about driving in Montana, but hopefully things will work out.

Off to bed because we have an early start tomorrow. But not before I eat a piece of dark chocolate!!

And something is fluttering in the shutters…better get outta this room!

    Best of luck with the interviews.

    I watched some of the National Parks documentary because I love the parks I’ve been to (Mammoth Cave, Shenandoah, and Great Smokies), but I thought the series was kinda dull. Still worth watching for the scenery, though!

    You should be scared to drive to Montana. VERY. While we were there over Labor Day, we:
    1) Decapitated a deer w/ our Acura (http://leftoversforlunch.wordpress.com/2009/09/05/road-trippin/)
    2) Got lost in the wilderness thanks to faulty GPS (http://leftoversforlunch.wordpress.com/2009/09/07/the-road-to-hell/)
    LOL. Make sure you have a road map. And don’t drive fast at dusk.

    Don’t worry about the weather, you’ll be fine!
    Tips for driving in Montana/Snow
    SLOW DOWN-seriously, you have to be willing to go so slow that you annoy yourself if you need to.
    Pump your brakes, don’t slam on them.
    If you do start sliding, don’t slam on your breaks, and turn your wheel the direction of your slide.

    Ok, hopefully I haven’t freaked you out, I”m sure the road will be fine. Enjoy Yellowstone! So. Gorgeous!

    Omg. Second time iv had to comment because of the MT business. I am also going to be in Yellowstone next weekend! My boyfriend, his family and I are headed for a three day get away, and staying at a cabin in West. I am going to be on the look out for you guys. I will attest, today the high is 18 where I live in MT. The roads are crappy but you just need to drive defensively and if they are bad, snow blowing etc… go slow, or pull over. Its Montana so the weather can change at the drop of a hat. Part of why i love it. Have fun. Yellowstone and Montana it self are beautiful and you wont find nicer people. Hope you enjoy yourselves.
