My Traveling Nightmare

...or "No more connecting flights, ever again!"

My trip to Oakland was going so well until it came time to go home. The day started wonderfully, with a ferry ride across the bay to San Francisco. We didn't get to see much...just the Bay Bridge and a long-distance view of Alcatraz. From the Ferry Building we walked to the BART station for a 30 minute ride to the airport. My flight was scheduled for 1 pm and I had left early to take the ferry with a couple of people who were leaving earlier. No problem, I said. I can hang out for a couple of hours at the airport. Unfortunately for me (super unfortunate as it turned out), my flight was delayed long enough that I would miss my connecting flight in Dallas. Long story short, I wound up on a straight shot flight to Chicago that left at 7:30 pm San Fran time and didn't arrive in Chicago until 1:30 am. By the time I got home and in bed it was 3 am. I had to start my Friday with only 3 hours sleep. I am so bad when I don't get enough sleep.

Other than that, my trip went well. Only one workout but a lot of walking and my food was ok enough that I didn't take a weight gain hit. I'm back on my deficit plan and walking. Workouts will start again tomorrow. Time to grind it out to the goal!
