fitNasti in Flight

Sorry to all my readers who have been sorely bereft of my brilliance the past few days or so, I've been recouperating from my weekend trip to Salt Lake City to visit Jamey. This is the first flight I've been on since the diet and the first traveling I've had to do on the diet since the Arnold back in March. Of course this turned out to be quite adventurous! I prepped myself for the flight by packing all my chicken for Friday in one big container, all the carbs in another, and the greens in yet another and to cool it all I used TSA-approved coolant frozen broccoli! I'm the carry-on queen and into the outer pocket of my bodybuilding.com duffel went my food scale. Oh BOY did I get some interesting looks when I sat at the gate carefully measuring my 6oz of chicken from tupperware to scale and then eating it like an ravenous animal. I crock-potted some bone-in chicken breast before I left and boy oh boy was it super juicy and tender and delicious. I secretly ate some of the bones. Don't judge. A couple of people nodded my way and made the comment "that's really smart," but I bet they never suspected that I live this way even when I'm not en route via plane. One man asked me if I was a bodybuilder! I was so honored and I explained that I did figure. He said he noticed my logo on the back on my hoodie - Strong Girl Fitness represent!! On my to-UT flights I had a lay-ver in Dallas and was able to snarf a warm meal at a restaurant. Sure, it as a bit pricey but my waitress was so super sweet to me and made sure all my food was exactly how I wanted it and everything. She didn't even give me weird looks! I bought some salad greens from another place and packed them away for a later meal. This was good because the trip did not start off well when the TSA accosted me for carrying a kubaton that I totally forgot that I had on me. I was held up for like 15 minutes as this woman kept yelling at me asking if I had a weapon on me... I kept responding "no" until I realized what she was referring to. Ugh. I had to fill out some forms and mail it back to myself. Curses. The biggest issue about flying is the dehydration. Even though I bought a bunch o' water and glugged it down, I was still really dehydrated. Even worse was the trip back where I only got 1/3 of the water I usually do because my connecting flight was boarding when my flight from UT was getting in. And then I CHUGGED water as I tried to find my car in long-term parking, which was cardio galore. This lead me to pee my pants later when I stepped out of the car after my drive from the charlotte airport to the home. Yeah, great. I'm going to admit here that it's not the first time that's happened... it might have contributed to my mental breakdown last week.

I'll give ya'll another update real soon. Things have been a'changing with my diet, exercise, etc. It'll even out soon, right?
