Ready for Atlanta...not ready for the long flight to get there!

 Okay, if I wasnt about to meet some of the most amazing people, I'd cancel this trip. I have major flying anxiety. 

I spent all day at work wondering what kind of snacks I should pack on my carry on for my 5 hour flight. (not to mention the 2 hour drive to the airport and probably 1-1.5 hour wait there...)  Nuts, jerky, protein bar...

And then tonight, I decided I better not even go there. Hello - stress eater + flying anxiety = a lot of calories way up there in the sky. I realized I wont die if I go 5 hours without eating - novel idea for me since I tend to eat every 2-3 hours, but I just...know myself. 


I did pack some protein powder and a blender...because I'm crazy like that. And protein oatmeal for breakfast for the week. Oh, and all my running gear :)


Now someone just tell me I don't need a stiff drink on the plane lol.  Early morning - here I come :)

 www.mybariatricpantry.com has a lot of good breakfast items - protein oatmeal (i think its like 100 cal, 15 G protein, maybe 8g carb or so) protein cereal, protein pancake mix...etc

The oatmeal and cereal are delicious and very filling. I have to try the pancakes soon!

I understand, I have major flying anxiety too. Plus, I tend to get motion sick in a plane. I don't do adult beverages on planes, it makes it worse. It will also dehydrate you at 30,000 feet.

I wear my acupressure wrist bands so I don't need the airsick bag (they are not big enough anyway). Then for take off & landing, I do deep breathing and pray.

I haven't needed to fly in a while, but that is about to change, not driving to see the grandchildren anymore. Three days each way is the pits. We spend more time driving that visiting. I will need to just grin and bare it.

Have a wonderful time in Atlanta.

 See - the dehydration from the alcohol wont work fast enough. I'm sure Id have to pee first and I have a thing about NOT peeing on airplaes (#fatgirlpanic)  I *might* even have to go 5 hours with no coffee (and after waking up at 4am tomorrow morning - that wont be pleasant haha). 

I will have a great time - no doubts!  I'll take lots of pics :)

Yes, I am waiting on those pics!!  

Five hours without coffee??  omg - that was the first thing we scoped out here tonight.  lol.  You are a stronger woman than I!!  If someone tries to take my coffee - it could get ugly up in here! 

Have fun - I wish I could have joined you.  Hopefully next year and will have a lot of us get together to go!

I got the carry on out and was trying to figure out what to pack.  I will take a snack as all they hand out on the plane is pretzals and don't want those.  I have a couple protien bars and some nuts to pack.  I wonder if they would say anything if I add a shot to some diet coke?

See ya there Friday!
