Home Sweet Home

It's election day - God help us all!

And I'm home - miss me?

We had a fantastic time.  Great sights, great activities, great food, great drink and most important - great time together.  I did a really good job with most of my goals and a not-as-good job with one in particular. The night time meal was a hiccup every night.  Worth it?  Not really, but the reasons were solid - I just took it too far.  Over and done though - and in the grand scheme of things - not a big deal.

Three days of solid W30 will get me back on track.  Then I have a few days of off-road again (November is killing it with social stuff!).  I have a plan - of course.

Family (and my stress) arrives Thursday.  I want to be careful to not eat and drink my stress each night.  It's possible.  It's probable.  So I need to be in strict mode for those 5 days.  Can I do it?  Yikes - I don't know, but I do know it's up to me.

Planning tabata and weight lifting today.  I need a double lol.  I'm having my usual "travel" troubles in the bathroom department.  Why does my body refuse to be regular on a trip all of a sudden?  Makes me feel horrible. Magnesium last night - waiting for some results - so that might make tabata a "maybe."

Fun check-off from My Happiness Project - I finally got to try Nitro coffee!!  It was delicious. It never occurred to me that Nitro was out west and I was out west lol.  We found it in a little market in Napa.  I had it two days in a row (caffeine be damned!).  It's like Kona coffee - extra concentrated caffeine.  The last day we stumbled on Nitro served at Starbucks.  I already had one at the market, so I just got a taste to try it.  Also good, but the market was better.  It's probably a good thing I can't readily find it here.

Our big take-home was wine (duh).  If you purchased bottles, tasting fees got reduced (or eliminated).  5 bottles of some really good vino made it back safe-and-sound.  We are all set for Thanksgiving.  One of the tours was such a fantastic wealth of information - the science behind why certain wines go with certain foods - and we tested it out.  I'm on my way to becoming a wine snob lol!

Okay - better get going.  Lots and lots to do to get ready for Thursday.  The list is long - ouch.  Even with this list - today will be HAPPY.  I choose HAPPY.  I need HAPPY lol.  Later gators.
