Day 79: Airport Blogging

WARNING!!! This post contains TMI. I repeat, this post contains T.M.I. Proceed with EXTREME caution.....

Don't say I didn't warn you!!!!! 

So here it is. Day 79. I am sitting in the Denver airport waiting for flight #1 to Austin (hi Jane!) and from there, flight #2 to Florida. It's going to be a loooooong day of travel and thanks to 2 time changes, it will officially feel like forever until I get to my final destination. Anyway, I'm at the airport. Crazy early because John obviously needed to get to work. It's amazing how quickly one can fall back into old habits isn't it? I customarily get to the airport, go through security, take the train to my concourse, and eat. Of course what do I eat? (Say it with me now.....) MCDONALDS. Duh. Today, like clockwork, I got to the airport, went through security, took the train to my concourse, and immediately get right in line. What the H E double hockey stick was I doing!? Did it stop me?! Of course not..... I ordered my full former daily breakfast. Sausage biscuit meal with a diet coke. Yes, I'm still the diet coke girl.... I tell myself that it will be ok since I will be on the plane for most of the day and I wont really be able to eat, and I will still stay within my calories. As I was eating, I realized that the breakfast I used to crave, the one I would kill for, really wasn't all that delicious anymore. HALLELUJAH. I was so happy to realize that I really haven't missed much (except for tons of extra calories) since giving up this breakfast 70 something days ago. As I was rejoicing, my stomach was suddenly questioning my breakfast decision. "I'm sorry.... you thought that eating THAT was a good idea today becauuuuuuuuse????" I could almost hear it rumble. I immediately regretted my decision. After the last few days of food fest, and the immediate regret, one would think that I would have made a better decision this morning. But I didn't. And I paid the price. As an added bonus just for fun my "Aunt Flo" made an earlier plane than expected and caught me completely off guard. Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeat. After 2 bathroom stops at the machines, 3 little stores with no luck, I finally had to break down and ask someone for help. Thankfully she was my savior, and the crisis was averted. Sigh. So that's my day so far... and it's only 930. Let's focus on the positives for a moment shall we? I was back down my 2 lbs this morning which gets me on the plane 20 lbs lighter as hoped. In a few short hours, I will be with my family and friends. I have 4 1/2 days of fun ahead regardless of the crappy weather. Let's just hope my flights have more smooth sailing than my morning......
79 days down...101 to go!
