Road Trip Plan

I’m slightly hungover this morning… I didn’t eat dinner last night but had a few drinks at the bar with my friend J, who thankfully was the one driving. Way too much tequila, to be honest. I stuck to the same alcohol though the entire evening/night - Patron, which is a super nice and smooth tequila. Which is probably why I don’t feel too bad today given how much of it I drank!

So, onto my impending road trip… it is SO HARD to find decent food on the road. No matter how much I swear off McDonald’s, sometimes it is the only thing around to eat! So this time, I’m going to plan ahead and bring my own snacks and meals. My typical routine is to eat very little during the day then get a huge room service meal at night. But this time I’m going to do something a little different: mini-meals every few hours or so to keep my blood sugar levels up during the day, then a nice salad/lean protein room service meal once I’ve gotten to my destination for the night. I’ve had problems with crashing blood sugar on more than one occasion while road-tripping, and it’s not going to happen this time. (Once in Indiana, I had to pull over to the side of the road because I honestly felt like I was going to pass out).

These are the types of foods I’m going to bring to snack on: pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, apples, bananas, peaches, protein bars, Kashi bars, nuts, fiber one cereal, and a few other things. For coffee, I’m bringing a few of the Starbucks Espresso drink things along.

The weather is probably going to suck the entire way back, but there isn’t much I can do about it. It’s Spring, after all, which means a lot of thunderstorms. Hopefully I won’t get sucked up in a funnel cloud as I’m passing through tornado alley.

Anyway, onto other stuff… I’m going to hit the gym this evening for what I hope to be an hour-long treadmill routine at the highest incline and fastest speed I can handle. Then B and I are going to go play a couple games of pool… it’ll be our last for a few months. I am allowing myself one drink tonight and that is IT.

ARGHGHGH I am SO sick and tired of the guy downstairs playing his bass music so loud!! I mean seriously. I’m glad I’m getting the heck out of here in a couple days…
