Hello from FL!

Well, we landed in FL safely! At the airport in Boston, we stopped in at Boston Beer Works for dinner and beers- it’s our tradition!!!! We each enjoyed 3 lovely watermelon beers…talk about summery!

IMG_0105For dinner I got the veggie quesadilla they had corn, mushrooms, red bell peppers, jack cheese in a spinach wrap. It came with salsa (that I ate about 80% of), guacamole (I had about 20 % of) and sour cream (which I don’t eat).

IMG_0106I ate about 60% of the quesadilla. It was a little too cheesy for me, I prob should have asked for it to be light on the cheese.

While on the plane I had two bud lights (not my favorite beer….) and water. IMG_0108

While on the plane I split my time up evenly between the my two favorites, food networkIMG_0109and the style channel…obvi!

After we got on the plane, we met Deb ( my future sister-in-law) at the gate! It was soooo great to see her. Then we started the drive back to her house, we got lost and had to stop at a gas station to ask for directions, I was a little hungry so I got a giant water and a Kashi peanut butter and chocolate crunchy bar. It pretty much did the trick, I was still a little hungry.

IMG_0111IMG_0112When we got to the house, I was tired as heck (I had been awake for over 20 hours) and in a moment of weakness, I eat 4 handfuls of salt and vinegar chips (they are my favorite flavor)…but, I don’t regret it, I never eat chips and these were just as yummy as I remembered.

IMG_0113I went to bed around 3am, and slept like a baby!!!!!! Adam and I got up around 9am and had coffee with my Deb and just chatted. I had two small cups with a little 2% milk.

IMG_0115We decided to go to a lake today. So we (me, Adam, Deb, Dave, and the kids) jumped in the truck to head out. I had a kashi trail mix bar (I wasn’t very hungry this morning).

IMG_0117As we were driving to the lake, it started getting cloudy (of course!!) and by the time we got there it was a storm (thunder, lightening and rain). So, we walked around the trails until it cleared up, unlike Boston, the storms usually pass.

Finally, it stopped raining and we were able to go swimming. The water was only 72 degrees, it was chilly. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go in, but my lovely soon-to-be brother-in-law pushed me in (Thanks, Dave).

IMG_0128Here is us and the kids freezing our butts off swimming. It was quite a workout the water was well over my head so I swam and treded water for about 20 minutes, I forgot how much a workout swimming was. It felt great!!! Once we got done swimming we went to the grocery store to get food for dinner and for lunches tomorrow (we are going to the beach)!!!!!!! While driving there I snacked on a 100 calorie pack of almonds. You will notice I kind of grazed all day until dinner, I just didn’t have a huge appetite until then. IMG_0134While at the grocery store I found this:IMG_0136I can’t wait to have this tomorrow as part of a pre-run snack and breakfast. I have been looking for this since I saw it all over the blog world a few months ago, we just do not have it in Boston…I will let you guys know how I like it!

While in the car I snacked on a serving of these….spicy and tasty!

IMG_0135I also had a handful of cashews that didn’t get photographed (sorry) and a reduced fat string cheese ( I was getting a little hungrey since I hadn’t eaten a real meal all day but dinner was going to be soon).

IMG_0137Everyone else had hamburgers and I had a turkey burger made of ground turkey, egg whites and bread crumbs:IMG_0139There is my Adam making my burgers! He is the best!

Of course I was in charge of veggies, I made the salad and cooked the corn (Deb taught me how to cook it with the husk on…tasted so good).

IMG_0140IMG_0143I had a turkey burger on whole wheat bread with mustard and pickles, a good size helping of salad (my body was craving veggies)IMG_0146IMG_0145I had this dressing with my salad…per usual!

IMG_0148I had it with just black pepper…no butter.

Here is the damage I didn’t really eat a lot of the bread but I ate everything else though. I think that is because I didn’t really ate a full meal all day before. IMG_0147While cooking and eating dinner I had two Sam Summers…IMG_0141while blogging on the back porch I enjoyed an ice cold Corona Light.

I am off to swim with Adam and the kids, I think we are going to see transformers tonight. This post took me well over an hour, so I am going to try and post smaller posts more often. This was a little painful, the pictures took a really long time to load. I am not posting my outfit because as you can see I wore bummy clothes over a bikini all day. I will take a pic of whatever I change into for the movies for you though. Well, I may or may not post tonight. See you soon. Enjoy the weekend!

    Watermelon beer sounds very interesting! We found a Mango-weizen the other day to try, it was pretty good. My actual total fave beer is Kona Brewing Co’s Wailua Wheat (it’s a wheat ale like Blue Moon but with lilikoi (passionfruit) undertones). So delicious in a frosty glass.

    Beautiful pics of the waterfall, have a good weekend/trip!
