The FAST... Day 19

Only 2 days left! I have been lax in my blogging, no excuses, just haven't been getting around to it. I am sitting at my parent's dining room table right now- we are hanging out here for a couple of days... Kel and I are going to see the Foo Fighters in concert tomorrow night in Nashville, so we came over to H-patch a little bit early to hang with the fam and chill a little.

Fast is going good... My dad says he wants to try this eating plan, seeing as how the benefits to me have been pretty, well, beneficial... We made smoothies in their food processor this morning- they were more like gritties than smoothies... As a reward for doing so well on the fast, we are going to Lowes today to buy a new blender that specializes in smoothies- since ours is starting to smell like burning every time we use it.

Here is a funny fast story... Our transmission had some "issues" last week and we took it to "George" to fix it right outside of Danielsville, the seat of Madison County, Ga. Now D-ville is a fairly small rural town- but more and more people are moving to the area... So like most small towns it has a Hardees, Subway came to town years ago, and most recently Chicken Express. Now I loved Chicken Express in Red Oak- one of my favorite places. Anyway Chase and I went up to D-Ville on Tuesday to get the Jeep, we figured we would eat at this new cafe that opened up- being on this fast, we went in planning on some soup and salad... Well, it was awesome asking the girl at the counter what the soup of the day was - and when the response was chili, it was even more awesome to ask if it had meat in it and then say we were looking for a more vegetarian menu... As we tried to inconspicuously slide back out the door, every eye in the whole place was fixed on us "city boys" looking to eat like rabbits. Long story short, Danielsville has no "fast-friendly" options, so we ended up at Chicken Express... Eating corn on the cob and mashed potatoes- which was even MORE fun to order... "No ma'm... No chicken, No Biscuits, No Sweet Tea... Just some corn and potatoes..."

Some other highlights of the past few days:
-Eating Barberitos burritos like every other day... Their tofu is def. the best, and when you mix fresh jalapenos, grilled onions, and salsa- mmmm I could eat another one right now.
-Getting to edit the skydiving video that we shot on Monday... lets just say the Top Gun soundtrack fit perfectly.
-Getting to fly the plane on Monday... it really was a rush, and as we drove the 4 or so hours to Huntsville last night, I couldn't help but wonder how much faster it would have been in a plane.
-Playing basketball Tuesday night and having more energy than ever.
-Driving until midnight without my trusty road-trip physician- Dr. Pepper.
