Eat, Play, Write

Hi there. This will be my last check in for a while as we hit the road (again) on Friday, if all goes as planned. The forecast looks good, so if it's accurate (fingers & toes crossed!), we expect the drive to take a week, give or take a day. I may track food as well as I can, but I'm not worried about it. When we did a long drive last May I ate like a horse and actually lost weight (who knew driving used so many calories?). Anyway, I'll be back eventually, if anyone's still here. :-)

I think my TDEE estimate is pretty accurate - consistently averaging ~1500 and maintaining 147-148.

Have a sweet Valentine's Day!
