What I envisioned as a leisurly morning at the hotel, complete with a visit to HealthWorks and a gourmet hotel room bowl of oats turned into Rush Hour IV today! My flight leaves at 11:15 and I guess I didn’t realize I needed to save time for packing, tying up strings with the hotel and navigating the T with a now-48-pound suitcase (yeah swag!) I should have set the alarm an hour earlier!
I swapped HW for the Radisson gym, which was actually really nice with new Precor machines. I whirred for 40 mins on the elliptical and did 5 mins if super weight lifting with 20 pounders.
Rush, shower, pack, check out, walk, ride, transfer, ride, transfer, ride, transfer, check in, wait….. EAT!!
I was so happy to find oatmeal at Au Bon Pain and doctored up a medium with a banana, raisins, almonds, an a packet if Barney Butter. Plus coffee, which isn’t good becase I got burnt French roast by accident.
Meghann couldn’t find her TJs almond butter in her suitcase, and I envisioned it rolling out when she was packing up in my room yeaterday. Peek-a-boo and there it was!!! I’m shipping it to her, but I was tempted to just eat the jar for breakfast!
I’ll do a non-iPhone post when I land – Boston isn’t as cool as Charlotte and WiFi isn’t free 🙁
1 hour till take off!

Angie All The Way says
There’s your true sign of dedication to exercise right there! You’re rushing around not to be late for your flight and I still see “I whirred for 40 mins on the elliptical and did 5 mins if super weight lifting with 20 pounders.”
Impressive!
Meghan@traveleatlove says
Brave girl taking the T with heavy luggage on such a hot day! Come back to Boston soon!
Evan Thomas says
That almond butter looks so sad under the bed. Good thing you found it, that’s prized stuff. I had some for breakfast!
Caroline says
I used the Radisson gym over the weekend too. I was a little self conscious with all the people at the pool staring at me though…
YAY for finding Meghann’s AB…losing that would be tragic!
linda says
Where do you buy the Barney Butter packets? Noticed you use them several times during this trip – looks like a convenient item to bring along for travel.
rhodeygirl says
how great that you still were able to have a real breakfast after all that! what a great example for all of us. if i had been in your situation i would have eaten a bar and a fruit and been done with it.
Biz says
Have a safe trip back!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
