Today has been absolutely disastrous food-wise. I expected as much. I spent 1 hour in a cab, 6 hours on a plane, 2 hours on a bus and a load of hours waiting in between.
But now I'm in Napa and I'm absolutely in love!!! California is my kinda place. I don't know why I stayed in dirty, freezing, angry New York for so long when the West Coast boasts sun, scenery, chirping birds, big skies and people who actually talk to you wit genuine interest in the conversation.
Anyway, back to the food. I don't even want to catalogue what went into my body today. Yesterday too, for that matter. I'll have to go back and update.
I tried to stick low carb today, but it was irrelevant as I ate waaaaay too much food. But I just felt jet-lagged, headachy, frustrated, bored, stressed, and generally yuck thanks to the travel. Food is always my comfort. But it can't be anymore. I'm getting married in about 4 weeks!
By the way, after today my entries will be concise. I want to enjoy my vacation rather than being an obsessive slave to the computer. Bare minimum is the key. This should motivate me to eat less too. Less meals and snacks equals less blog work.

BREAKFAST
I started the day well. An Organic Grass-Fed Burger with half an Avocado, Omega 3 Fish Oil capsules, Fiber Capsules and a Multivitamin.
It all went downhill from there.

Then in the cab to the airport I had some 100% Cocoa Chocolate.
LUNCH
I ate 1 Cheese Stick when I got on the plane.
An hour later I ate about 4.5oz of Chicken Breast Fried in Organic Butter ....
.... and half an Avocado.
SNACKS
Throughout the course of the flight I snacked on the rest of my 100% Cocoa Chocolate Bar from the other day. It was about 50 grams all up.
I ate quite a bit of coconut too in the form of Organic Coconut flakes. I probably had half a cup, (although I was doing the #1 diet no-no and eating right out of the bag so I have no clue how much I racked up).
The lady in the seat next to me gave me 1oz of Smoked Gouda ....
.... and I had another String Cheese Stick.
I had a Decaf Coffee with 1 Tbs Half-and Half. It was bitter, so I mixed in ....
.... only 1 square of White Chocolate.
Naughty.
Naughty.
Later I had 2 handfuls of Raw Macadamias.
MORE SNACKS
When we got off the plane I felt pretty horrible. We had to wait 3 hours for a bus to Napa so I ate half a Red bell Pepper ....
.... a handful of Organic Baby Spinach ....
.... half a packet of Applegate Farms Turkey ....
.... half an Avocado ....
.... 1/4 cup Organic Blueberries ....
.... a handful of Raw Walnuts ....
.... and a handful of Raw Macadamias.
Ooooh, so much food. I ended up feeling worse afterwards.

LATER SNACKS
When we finally got on the bus I ate 6 Tic-Tacs ....
.... 2 more sticks of String Cheese ....
.... and the rest of the packet of Applegate Farms Turkey.
When checking into our hotel I helped myself to 2 Mints.
DINNER
We're in California, the home of In-N-Out Burger. Dave has been hanging to taste these things for months and since I was craving salty carbs, I agreed to join him. I never eat this crap, but today was a big exception. We've agreed it's the last fast-food outing until the wedding.
I ate just the meat, cheese and tomato from my burger, (had to skip the gluten-filled bun thanks to my allergy anyway). I also ate half the non-gunked fries with a bit of ketchup and 2 Tbs Half-n-Half for dessert, plus a sip of Dave's milk.

PRE-BEDTIME SNACK
In-N-Out even gave us calorie counts when we ordered. How thoughtful of them. It made it easier to stop at half the fries.
2 squares of nostalgic childhood Firecracker popping candy chocolate ....
.... and a 2% Fage with about a cup of Blueberries.
