Hello!!! I am currently blogging from 30,000 feet in the air on my way to Richmond,VA.
A few months ago I was contacted by a rep from Sabra about working with them as an ambassador. One of the perks is a trip out to VA to tour the Sabra factory! I have always been a big fan of Sabra and am super excited! I can’t believe this is my life. I am very lucky and happy and stinky (the stinky will be explained below).
First, let’s just call it what it is – yesterday I ate crap all day.
There was no specific reason for it really… First I was sitting at the table when Ben and my fam ate lunch and there were fresh fries and onion rings in front of me. (I didn’t order anything because I wanted movie theater popcorn for lunch AND had a late breakfast.)
The point of my visit was to take my little brother to see Frankenweenie 3D. 
I decided to sneak in my own popcorn to be a little bit healthier. (I did eat the whole bag, but I always do. 1 bag = 1 serving just like 1 watermelon = 1 serving)
And to top off the carb-fest my mom had Reese’s Pieces cereal and I took a baggie of that to eat on the car ride home. This stuff is GOOD!!! Get some.
We headed home early because I had to pack for today’s travels! I ended up making a big salad for dinner to balance it all out.
This morning Ben’s alarm went off at 4:30am because he was meeting his friends for a hike. I decided to get up with him as it’s impossible to sleep while someone else is getting ready at our place.
Since I had time to kill and it was too dark to take a nice lil’ walk I did Jillian’s 6 Week Six Pack Level 1.
Then, I quickly showered and made breakfast to eat at the airport. 
There was almost a snag in my plans when the security officer wasn’t sure if I could take my oatmeal through. They asked someone over walkie-talkie and for a second there I was worried. The lady next to me in the line said, “I hope you get to eat your breakfast,” as she gathered her things. And I think that made them feel bad so they let me have it!
Victory Pumpkin Oatmeal is Mine!
I had a quick layover in Dallas and searched for a Dunkin Donuts to get my iced coffee fix. (Seriously, I should just open a franchise in CA, right?!)
Unfortunately, there was not one in my terminal so I got Starbucks IC and an apple for something like 60 dollars.
I bought Jenna’s book White Jacket Required and am already halfway through it from my first flight. It’s really good!!
And I’ll soon be ripping into my weird packed lunch…
It’s 1 hard boiled egg, 2 whites, snap peas and a sweet potato. This is clean eating at it’s stinkiest. I swear I don’t do it on purpose, but I always manage to bring smelly foods on the plane and then feel dumb when I go to eat them. But, we have no protein in the house other than eggs so it was my only option. 
I have no idea how I’m going to eat the sweet potato, but I did salt it 
I debated dressing comfy or decent last night on twitter and the response was a resounding COMFY! Glad I listened, but when I get to Richmond I only have an hour before dinner so I’m hoping I have enough time to get to the hotel and freshen up!
Question: What was the best thing you ate this weekend?
I’ve looked into getting a DD franchise, but they’re not looking to expand in CA….what the funk?
Boo.
Haha you’re hilarious! I’m slightly envious that you got through with your oats- I’ve tried to bring PB and oats on a plane a few times and always get taken away, I guess it depends if you get a friendly, food-loving TSA agent ;P
So true, I’ve gotten yogurt through before and others I know haven’t. Gotta look for the foodie TSA person – we should wear badges or something.
Hey there’s a Dunkin donuts on camp Pendleton! Lol I live in Oceanside- now how do I get on base…. Hmmmm :-p
I heard there was going to be one – is it open yet?! We’ll try to get on base together 🙂
Does ice cold 100Plus (isotonic drink) count? Had it after my second run yesterday and it hit the spot!
This weekend I ate a new flavour of my favourite candy, and it really rocked my world:D
Best thing this weekend? Chocolate chip waffles with peanut butter. A strawberry smoothie on Friday. Now I want hummus.

Enjoy Richmond! I’ve been reading your blog for a while and just relocated to Toronto from Richmond! Didn’t even know Sabra was based there 🙂
That’s a big move! Hope it was a good one 🙂
I grilled burgers, it is probably the last time we grill until next spring. It is getting to the point of putting up the plastic.
Ahhh i’m super jealous that you’re visiting the Sabra factory. Love their hummus :). By the way the only Dunkin Donuts in my small town is opening up down the street from my apartment complex. Not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.
So cool! I love Sabra and had no idea their plant was in VA. Have a blast girl! Richmond is such an adorable little town.
Wish you were here! How’s it going? We should catch up email style 🙂
Stuft Mama’s Kristen had a spaghetti squash post last week…I tried it for the first time this weekend and its TO.DIE.FOR. Boy, have I been missing out on some deliciousness. 😉
And…what is SABRA? A new type of bra? Yea, I have no idea but that seems like the obvious…now, I will have to google it.
Sabra is the best hummus ever!
I bought some stinky cheese this weekend as a treat, yum! Total treat, but I went to the grocery store hungry which is NEVER a good idea.
I love that you stole cereal from your mom’s. I once accidently ate an entire box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch while at a friends. I forget how delicious cereal can be. Glad you were allowed to bring your breakfast one the plane. They tried to steal my Chobani once, think the chick was just hungry!
” I once accidently ate an entire box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch while at a friends.” <--- totally something I would do
Have fun in Richmond! I’m going there in December so I’m going to keep my eyes peeled for your upcoming posts (I wanna see where you eat! Need rec’s!)
But that book? Uhhh…yeah, no. Not good. Not a good book at all.
Enjoy your time in Richmond! I agree that there are some cool places to get a run in!
There is a great place to run if you’re near there…you cross the James River on a pedestrian bridge to Belle Island… it is full of trails. It actually used to be an island prison. No walls, no bars. During the Civil War I think. Really cool place to run around!

Thanks! Britney suggested that area too 🙂
Black bean burger from Burger 21 here in Tampa
Hummus from Trader Joe’s for sure. I ate it with sun chips, pretzel slims and veggies. Have fun….I want to travel for a living. 🙂 Maybe when my kids are older I can convince someone to let me be their ambassador.
I want you to ambassador it up with me! We’d have fun 🙂
pumpkin cream cheese. Hahah have fun getting your hummus on!
From TJ’s?! I didn’t get some the last time I went because we still have regular.
Yes TJ’s!!!
