*groan*

Well, I did NOT have internet access at the hotel in Roanoke because they wanted to CHARGE me an extra $20 for the weekend. No thank you. Honestly I don't think I would have had much time or energy to update anyhow. We were pretty much only in the room long enough to sleep, shower and leave again.

It was a wonderful weekend overall - I love being in Southwest Virginia, and the weather was beautiful! The lectures were really interesting and really inspired me to revisit the sites and battlefields near home that I haven't been to since I was 9 or 10.

I did not have the opportunity to workout at the hotel but Mike and I had the opportunity to walk around downtown Roanoke for almost an hour Saturday afternoon, which was really nice.

Now I will try to remember what all I ate (too much, I'll tell you right now)...

Fri. 3/11:

• breakfast: Nature Valley chewy almond bar
• am snack: handful of potato chips
• lunch: Chik-Fil-A original sandwich with fries and a lemonade
• dinner: salad w/ ranch, roll, mashed sweet potatoes, vegetable medley, very small portion or pasta primavera, and a small slice of pork tenderloin.... and, wait for it... chocolate bourbon pecan pie for desert
• 1 cigarette (Mike is so making me fail on this it's not even funny)
• 11pm bedtime
• $5 spent on lunch

Sat 3/12:

• breakfast: eggs, 2 slices of bacon, one teeny tiny piece of french toast (no syrup), a chocolate milk (they were all out of juice and the regular milk seemed warm... gross)
• am snack: mini sausage biscuit, mini danish
• lunch: was gross... really gross.. I had salad and a little bit of pasta. That was about it. 
• pm snack: these AMAZING almond cookies... omg I want one right now lol.. and some coffee w/ a rice krispie treat
• dinner: lots and lots of salad (started craving greens hardcore after having so much sugar all day), a little bit of pasta, about 6oz of this DELICIOUS citrus chicken... major improvement over lunch. Plus a little sliver of cheesecake for desert. 
• hour long walk
• 1 cigarette
• 9:30pm bedtime
• $0 spent - all meals and snacks and stuff were provided by the conference which is why I had access to so much junk the whole time. 

Sun 3/13:

• breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon, 2 pancakes and an orange juice at iHop. It was perfect.
• lunch: turkey sub w/ mustard from Jimmy John's
• dinner: gyro from local pizza parlor... just the gyro. Also perfect.
• no snacks
• 0 cigarettes
• 11:30pm bedtime
• $7 spent on dinner - Mike bought lunch, and my father-in-law bought breakfast.

I'm still barely recovered from this damn chest cold. It's really killing me.. and the time change this weekend is wreaking havoc on my sleep. I'm exhausted. 

I'm so super glad we went to this conference this weekend, but now I need a vacation from my weekend. Mostly I think I need to get caught up on sleep. I will probably NOT go to the gym today, as I did not have the opportunity to pack my gym bag this morning, but I will pack tonight before bed and definitely plan to go after work tomorrow.
