Travel Day + The Day's Eats

So today I had to wake up nice and early to get to the airport on time. I have a friend watching Bailey for me, so I also had to change my sheets and tidy up last minute so that my apartment was liveable by other people's standards. I did the bulk of tidying yesterday, but there were a few things that needed to be swept over. I also made sure I had enough time to eat a good breakfast. Traveling on an empty stomach makes me even more irritable than traveling in general.

Eggs, turkey smokies, grapes

I flew to Chicago first and was starving by the time I got there. To be fair, it had been about 3.5 hours since I'd eaten last. So, I got a bagel. I was tracking my calories like I said I would and estimated the bagel, but then realized I had a nutrition look-up app. Let's just say the bagel I bought was totally not worth it. It may have been if they'd toasted it as I had requested, but it definitely wasn't pre-toasted. But I ate it because I was starving.

About 450 calories (with the cream cheese). Yikes

While waiting for my flight, I charged all the things and then walked around for a good 20-30 minutes. Because I had the time, I walked to a different terminal to find my bagel and then had to walk back and then walked up and down the C terminal.

Charging the computer, phone and myself (with the bagel)

On my flight, I ate a South Beach diet bar for a quick snack and slept most of the way to Atlanta. In an aisle seat. Without a neck pillow. Let me just say this (for those of you who can't infer): ouch. I need to invest in a neck pillow. In the airport they're like $20. And I kinda want an inflatable one so I can pack it and not have to worry about it again later. Perhaps when I'm back in Michigan, I could take a look for one. I remember spotting on at TJ Maxx.

Once I got to Atlanta, I rented a car and drove to Macon, where my interview is. It's about an hour and 20 minutes from Atlanta, which wasn't that bad as it was essentially hopping on the expressway and going south. But I got really hungry again, so I stopped for Subway even though a drive thru would have been more convenient (and also more calories). My sandwich was probably under 400 calories (given what my estimator says).

Turkey and cheese on wheat with some fixings

I arrived safely at my hotel, responded to some emails, read about the program, looked up some stuff for future travels and then headed to the dinner, which was Mexican. I overloaded on the chips, but got a taco salad for dinner, which I ate maybe half of. I didn't try to estimate it because the day is done and I had about 900 calories left for my limit. I'm guessing I went over because there was queso, but I'll get back on it again tomorrow!

Our interview isn't until 10:30, so I'm thinking I'll either sleep in and be super rested or wake up and hit the fitness center. I also don't have anything to do in the afternoon tomorrow, so the fitness center could possibly be done then. I'm thinking that's what I'll do because all this traveling makes me pooped.

Which bed to sleep on? #firstworldproblems

That's all, folks! See you back here tomorrow (most likely).
