Trip to KC

I went on my first away trip for work this past weekend to the office for the quarterly meeting and to meet/train the new guy.
Jason and the boys drove me to Austin Sunday morning to the airport. My flight went into Atlanta and it was a rough flight, especially since I did not take any Dramamine.
Over Atlanta

From there I flew into KC. I grabbed some Dramamine between flights and while it was still a little rough with turbulence, I didn't have the added air sickness to endure. Much better. Will never fly without it again.
Once I landed, I got my rental car and met mom, dad, Amelia, Josh and Brandy at Coach's for dinner. The windows were all painted up with Royals stuffs.
Love me some Hosmer!

Went straight to the hotel after dinner and crashed. 

Woke up bright and early the next morning for our quarterly meeting. Felt good to get dressed up for work! Instead of my usual yoga pants and tank I sport these days. 
Made sure to sport some royal blue ;)

After a long, crazy day in the office. I had dinner plans with Lindsey. 
Mmmm Sangria!

After dinner we noticed a little sweet shop and stopped in. Had too much giggly girl fun. 

I got a little treat for my boys (not the Gooey Rod) and headed back to the hotel to chat and chill.
Chocolate covered marshmallows for the boys. 

A phone call from Pam (more in another post) put a damper on the rest of the evening but we had a great visit and I'm so glad I got to spend some time with her.
Up and at 'em for Day 2. Sporting my royal blue wedges for game 1 of the World Series. And another super busy and full day was spent at the office. I stayed and worked a little late any then ordered some Joe's BBQ to eat while I watched the big game.
My favorite!!

I chilled in the room, stuffed my face and watched the game in my PJs. All 14 innings! It was a late night but I stuck with them till the end and they WON!

The next morning was travel home day. Woke up sleepy but happy. 

Packed up all 60-some odd ounces of breast milk from the 3 days away from the booby monster. 

And got ready to go home!
Feels weird to be leaving Kansas to go home to Texas but home truly is where the heart is. And all 4 pieces of my heart are there waiting!
Texas! Home Sweet Home!

FAF: Another 1 Bites the Dust!

Starting weight: 166.4 Last week's weight: 163.8 Current weight: 162.8 Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: -1.0 Total weight lost: -3.6 Another week of weight loss! Whoop! Its not much but after another slow exercising week, I'll GLADLY take it! I'm very close [again] to what I weighed when I got knocked up with my pwecious little man so I'm feeling good about that fo' sho'... Working out this week has been rough. I haven't really made/had time for a good solid workout so I'm a little disappointed about that but...eh, I'll just keep squeezing them in there whenever I can and as much as I can. We have a gym membership over by my usual sitter so once she's off maternity leave, I'll be able to run to the gym at night before or after I pick up the monster. My diet this week has been unhealthy - not in what I've eaten, just the quantity. I've hardly eaten a thing! My dinner portions have been cut in half, if not more, so I feel that's a po...

29 Weeks

Here I am at 29 weeks exactly. I'm at +24 lbs which is a little higher than I would like, but after a week of crappy eating on vacation, I won't complain too much. My blood pressure is good and just got word that I passed my glucose test. Yay! My emotions get the better of me a lot this pregnancy, but I don't know if its all pregnancy related or if some of it is just me trying to work through a lot of emotional issues - either way, trying to hold it together some days has been rough. I just wish I was able to enjoy being pregnant...but alas, its just not meant to be. Trying to enjoy it as much as possible, all the little kicks and wiggles and special time with Beckett. Also, trying very hard to stay focused on eating healthy and walking as much as I can, although, I can't walk far anymore without the belly cramping. Still trying to keep from gaining that 50 lbs like I did last time ;) Beckett is extremely active, and according to the baby center emails I get, he...

Random Tuesday

Random Tidbits ~I'm feeling better today than my hot-mess of a self yesterday. Something about vomiting your problems out onto the Internet seems to help tons. Like airing your dirty laundry. Plus, if your friends don't want to listen to you whine. They can stop reading without feeling guilty. ~I have the bestest sister on the planet. That's a fact people, not an opinion. She texted me last night to ask if I was ok . Perfect response, checking in with me without forcing me to talk. Love that lady. Plus, she is a top notch breeder. Her offspring is pretty much the most adorable little man on the face of the plant. That there could possibly be an opinion, I am a smidge biased. ~I started an Acai Berry Detox diet today. Its gonna be two weeks of pure hell. No sugar, that includes sweeteners , only ONE cup of black coffee a day, no dairy ( ie no cheese or yogurt - GASP), no CHOCOLATE, no wheat products, no fat. I keep telling myself - its only two weeks, its only two wee...
