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!

Starting weight: 166.4 Last week's weight: 166.4 Current weight: 168.4 Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: +2.0 Total weight lost: +2.0 All I'm going to say is this is total Bull$hit. Tune in next week to see the {FREAK SHOW} that is my mystifying, unexplainable, horrifying weight gain. The End.

Almost Fainted Yesterday - Not. Cool.

Yesterday late morning I was sitting at my desk and I felt...funny. Then the "funny" feeling turned into ears ringing, hot flash, seeing stars, light- headedness . Scared the poo out of me. So I sat at my desk for a good 2 to 3 minutes with my head between my knees - or atleast as close to my knees as I can get right now - trying not to panic and make it worse. I never actually passed out/fainted but got pretty close. The thing that scared me the most though was that NO ONE AROUND ME NOTICED! Not that I wanted all kinds of people flocking over to me to see if I was ok , but would have felt a little better if one person would've atleast thrown me an "are you alright?". I hope I never go into labor at work, good grief. I'll be driving myself to the hospital and two hours later people will be going "Where's D?" That diva moment aside, I finally felt ok to stand up and walk to the breakroom to get a glass of water and then asked my boss to go d...

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...
