Day 16/17

We left home early yesterday to come up to Nor Cal for a 3-day world music festival so I didn't get a chance to blog yesterday. We left the house around 6:30, drove to the airport, flew to Oakland, got our rental car and started driving north. We stopped in Santa Rosa for lunch at Panda Express--I had the veggies with blackened chicken and tofu eggplant which I've had before and know to be the lighter items on the menu. We got to Ukiah where our hotel is and got checked in. We ate again at the fairgrounds where the festival is held in Boonville. I didn't get much exercise yesterday except for walking through airports and walking around the fairground. The hotel I'm staying in does not have a gym :( so I'm not sure how I'm going to do my C25K. I thought I'd try to just do my run/walk on the street here but it's not very flat around here and it's pretty hot. :/ I'm not giving up yet but...

Note about yesterday: The road to Boonville is very, very, very curvy. My husband gets motion sickness easily and he got very sick on the way home last night. Not sure how we're going to manage the rest of the weekend with that!

Thursday things--I had a very nice relaxing day (had my facial), did a pretty good job with food and didn't eat all evening. For my daily gives I did a couple of things so that my husband wouldn't have to--I got my tires rotated while I did some shopping at Target (something he normally would have handled), bought him some new socks at Target (to save him a trip later), and got a plumber to come to the house in the afternoon to fix our leaking toilet. He was so happy and thankful that I had done these things for him--especially the toilet stuff.

Yesterday--Food choices were as good as I could make them during the day. I munched a little late in the evening because my last meal wasn't so filling and good at the fair. I chose the chicken satays because I thought they'd be healthiest but they weren't very good (not very warm or flavorful) or very filling (small amount of food) because I'm used to eating veggies to fill up.

My plan for today (Saturday, Day 17) is to eat a good little breakfast (eggs and fruit in hotel), eat from a different vendor that had some veggie-filled meals that looked fresh & healthy and let Aaron have something different. We'll walk around the fairgrounds and dance a bit. If I can figure a way to run/walk I will do that.
