One of the benefits of living in Austin is live music! Not only are there 5 decent bands playing in any given bar and any given night, there are really great music fests here. My personal favorite is every fall - 3 days of music, skateboards, art and food - called FUN FUN FUN FEST! The year was extra special because my favorite band of all time, Jane's Addiction, (whose lyrics inspired the name of this blog infact), played Saturday night.
For the past 2-3 years, the weather for FFF Fest has always been sunny and warm. Most photos are us in tank tops and flip flops. In this year of El Nino - we've had tons of rain and more cloudy gray days in a row than I can remember in my 15 years in Austin. The weekend before the fest, Austin got nailed with rain and there was mass flooding. 6 days later started the fest but it was raining off and on all day. One of my favorite people and best friends of 20+ years, Jessica flew here from Tampa and even her flight was canceled due to weather. So basically, the world was working against us and we didn't make it to the fest on Friday. Was super sad to miss Peaches but we would have been miserable since we were just getting over a very bad cough and cold.

Saturday, Mike was still feeling a little under the weather so he dropped Jess and I off for a day of festing! We watched skate demos, Mexican wrestling and lots of awesome bands. I had my most major cheat on food this afternoon. One of my favorite places had a pork belly bite that I could not resist. It was a small amount but yes, pork and wheat and most likely egg was eaten.

| Jane's Addiction show - best band ever!! | | | | |
On Sunday we whisked Jessica off to the airport and then spent the whole day soaking up some sun. I knew there would be no cheating today as sticking to the diet is extremely important for Mike's health. Luckily we live in a town that caters to healthy customers so we were able to pull it off!

Our best meal was at
Kebabalicious where we were able to wrap that had hummus, chicken, onion, cucumber and spicy sauce. All things we could have on the diet plan! JOY!
 |
| Chicken Kebab for us? Yes please! |
 |
| We didn't eat the wrap since it had flour but ate the inside with a fork |

A wonderful weekend and was pretty happy with the food choices made. Mike did awesome - he has not veered off the plan even the slightest amount.
