Sail,

calories do not count if you close your eyes while eating.

Switch to Atkins for the night - all the protein you can eat! Or something.

le_n, I will definitely take that under advisement. My eyes will only be open long enough to ascertain I'm not eating Limburger cheese.

It's not just the cheese, though. There will be hors d'oeuvres and booze, too. Temptations of the highest order! On a Wednesday, no less. Guess I'll be spending more time hitting the pavement this weekend to make up for it.

Thanks, Sail. and one day, as long as it is one day in moderation, should be ok.

Thanks beth. My nerves are a little better, 20 hours from now it will be over and I'll still be drugged out.

Lots of chill-ma and speedy-recovery-ma for you Suzi!

Started to post this and then left for dinner:

Mindful eating - take a tiny bite and savor it. And, uh, good luck. Watch the alcohol, since yanno, people don't care that they make poor decisions after they've had a drink or two. Cap'n Obvious, signing off.

Has earwormed me with "Bloodletting" by Concrete Blonde. Please report back if you meet any non-sparkling vampires when you take Frankie for a walk.

I know not this song, and clearly must remedy that. I did not go to the bayou today - another day.

I went to my friend's and we were productive with Xmen in the background. I started updating my resume and sent a few networking emails. My former coworker is going to send me some stats tomorrow, and I don't think my resume will need much more; it's still sparkling (in a good way) from the polishing Erin gave it.

Came home, finally signed a lease (MEEP), put together my Lucero Recruitment Mix. Neighborlady took me for food and drinks.

And now I'm exhausted. Bed time!

I am back from eating all the cheese. Well, I would have if I could have! I refrained. I did try to eat mindfully. They had lots of fresh fruit and veggies to nibble on, plus some roasted veggies, too, so I was able to alternate a little cheese with something healthier to help mitigate all the fat in cheese. And I stuck to plain water. I also found myself wandering around the exhibit room for 2 hours, because they didn't have enough chairs for the 400 people who had tickets. So, while I in no way burnt off all the calories I consumed, I feel that I did the best I could. I'll just add an extra 20 minutes to my daily workouts for the rest of the week and call it even. But, OMG, some of the cheeses! There was one from Croatia, a cow's milk cheese with black truffles in it. NOM. It was one of the few I went back for seconds on.

smonster, sounds like you've got everything well in hand. Sleep the sleep of the just!

Paging Steph - I'm an idiot and tired and don't know how this happened, but I sprayed some of my allergy meds into my eye. I flushed it out with cool water for a while and all the literature is very helpful as to how one should (usually in bold) avoid at all costs spraying it into one's eye. But no details on what happens next? aside from the obvious damage to my ego. DH doesn't seem to be worried, but that's just because - well, DH is never worried. Which worries me. See where I'm going with this? Hopefully not blind.

Sincerely, dumbass mcgee

Consider yourself remedied.
