Outer Banks - Day 1 July 17

Intake:
B - apple - 65
1/2 bagel - 135
1/2 apple jelly - 18
coffee - 2
L - apple turnover - 260
banana - 105
pretzels - 45
D - (will record later)

Haven't tracked and recorded my intake for the beginning of the trip (yesterday). I really don't plan on doing so, either. Last night's opera was fantastic. It had been the first time in 12 years the Santa Fe Opera had done Madame Butterfly, and we got lucky with the standing room only tickets we scored. It was fantastic to have stood for 3 hours, since I hadn't gotten any exercise the entire day, but my standing seat was right in front of the door and the wind was blowing something fierce through it. I wore my beautiful silver dress (strapless, short, structured layers that look like a cross between a cake and flower petals) and bright red lipstick. I felt beautiful, especially since my legs have gotten considerably smaller. The downside of the evening was when I got so cold from the wind taht I started to cry. I kicked off my shoes and did 300 calf-raises to keep warm. It helped a lot and made me forget about the cold completely. It was a lovely evening.

Currently I'm on an airplane en route to Atlanta, Georgia. I've never been to that area of the United States before. I won't see anything but the airport, though, since I've got a connection flight to one of the Virginias (I can't really remember which one...). Once I get to Mystery Virginia, father-dearest will pick me up and we'll stay the night before driving to the Outer Banks in the morning. Did I mention I get there at around 10 tonight? No bueno...

When I was boarding this plane, there was this boy who talked to me. I always dream that someday a boy who's as into music and skating and I am would talk to me in the airport, and this one had a guitar abd a skateboard with him and was obviously flirting with me. Perfect scenario. The only problem? I was TOTALLY not attracted to him... Just my luck. And I'm not incredibly shallow, by the way. It wasn't just his looks, it was the way he spoke, and what he chose to speak about... No fun! I could never hold a conversation with this guy. And when we got on the plane he wanted to sit next to me. I tried to say, "No." in the least obvious way possible (I said something like, "Eh, I think I'll take a long nap, but thanks anyway!"). And this guy didn't take the hint!!! He proceesed to put his skateboard and guitar in the overhead bin above my seat and sat next to me. I was flattered, but creeped out exponentially more! Then, the angel disguised as a flight attendant came on the loud speaker and said, "We are completely booked today! Make sure to seat yourself in your assigned place." I tried hard maintain composure and keep myself from cheering when he said, "Looks like we can't sit together..." and keep from yelling, "No! Please no!" when he said, "...but I'll find you after the flight." I've dubbed him Super Creeper completely unironically. Maybe I can run off the plane fast enough to avoid him... Is that mean?

I've planned on coming home a lovely 113 pounds. We will see. Dodging meals and swimming a ton? Me thinks so. Love ya.

*Atlanta, Georgia terminal*

D - 0 (I have decided to forgo dinner, because...)
1.) I had that fattening apple turnover
2.) I was in prime position to restrict since I was alone and under no obligation to eat, and didn't
3.) I am now alone and therefore unobligated to eat
4.) People are looking at me as if I'm pretty
5.) When I walked past the Ben&Jerry's stand in this airport, an incredibly fat woman walked past me. It was a message from God.
6.) There's an incredibly fat woman next to me currently in my terminal munching on a piece of crumb cake from Seattle's Best. Another message from God.
7.) My skinny jeans hang loosely off of me :)

I completely evaded Super Creeper. I had my carry-on items all packed up about 30 minutes before I had to just so I could get out before him and get the Hell out of that terminal so he wouldn't follow me. Poor guy...

I walked to my terminal so as to get some exercise. I even walked farther than I had to by accident because I confused my flights. Haha.

*later*

The terminal my flight leaves from changed so more walking (yay!). Guess what. More fat people munching (double yay!). This time it's a mother, father, and son who I'd clock at being about 12. The moment I got the the new terminal, the boy was openinb his mouth and straining himself physically to fit the double cheeseburger inside of it. The rest of them were stuffing themselves with Wendy's as well. The woman has a medium soda in her hand and a bottled Pepsi sitting next to her. Reason 8.) to skip out on dinner.

It's getting late, and I'm getting hungry... I almost cheated and ate something. I went to a kiosk that had fruit cups and parfaits. What was really cool was that they had caloric values on them!!! EVERYTHING needs to have that!!! Then maybe I wouldn't have eaten the turnover.
fruit cup - 66
parfait - 266
I happily declined both :)

*on plane to West Virginia*

I'm contemplating getting pretzels...

*later*

I got pretzels.
D - pretzels - 45
Total: 657
