Its that time again! I am going to Long Island tomorrow for a week and leaving Steve and Brutus at home! I gave Steve the week off as he will be spending a whole week with the Famiglia on the OBX next month. This week is just me, my girls, my mama, my sister and my niece! I have a lot planned with both family and friends and I am really looking forward to it.
I see a lot of eating out on the horizon and I really hope that my dining companions will let me pick off their plates! Seriously, when I am home, I have no problem ordering something knowing that I will be taking 3/4 of it home. However, being away from home and knowing I will be eating out a lot, I just don't see the point of ordering my own orders. I am still amazed at how little I can eat and be satisfied. Lets take tonight for instance. A very bad food choice night but I was rushed and I had a headache from not eating since breakfast. I stopped at Publix and bought 6 chicken tenders for Steve (he ate 3 and will have the others tomorrow) onion rings and 2 chicken wings for me. I had 1/2 of a wing and 1 very small onion ring. that is it! Full. My first thought was to go to Houlighans, a local sports bar and order the wing appetizer. 10 wings in an appetizer! That would have lasted me for 10 meals! REally? I am glad I stopped at Publix instead!
I have packed my individual packets of my new favorite protein drink, Syntrax Nector Roadside Lemonade. Love it! 90 calories, 0 carbs, 0 fat, 23 grams of protein. It mixes beautiful with water and ice in my shaker bottle. Very refreshing. I figure I can eat pretty normal for at least 2 out of the 3 meals and as long as I keep up with the gym, I will do fine. This is the first trip back home (yea Steve, I said it, it will always be home to me!) that I am not planning my visit around food. Pizza and bagels to be specific. I have 0 desire to eat a hunk of dough (bagel) but actually, I will be tasting a slice of pizza. Tasting being the operative word as I know I will never be able to eat a whole slice.
I am not sure I will be blogging much while I am there but I will be reading! Have a great week my pretties!

You are going to have a wonderful time. I am so happy for you going home and not planning your visit around food.

Ok, Jacquie, I was really excited about your love of the Roadside Lemonade, as I had two packets that I haven't tried yet. So this morning I made it in my shaker bottle...and I took 2 sips and that was it. I just cannot do protein drinks, I guess.
