Day 18

Day 18 was a grand day! I used a whole box of Radox muscle soak in the bath tub. Yes, that's right....the whole box. So, instead of posting last night....I was in the tub....trying to soothe my muscles.

I rushed at the gym. I went as fast as my muscles would let me so that I could attend the SWER Broadband Presentation. This is a fine example of my eating plan making things a little more complicated. I really should have pre-ordered my food. I realized that after the server muttered to herself. Not to me of course, but loud enough for me to hear that I should have pre-ordered. Every bit of the meal was covered in cream...the meat, the lentils and the carrots drizzled in butter. But because this was not the type of event that I could be eating out of a baggie that I pulled from my purse, I requested my meat with no cream. And because at the social that was held for the strategic team earlier, I ate my turkey slices and my veggies from a baggie while my colleagues enjoyed wine and cheese. I think Joanne even got a picture because the CEO saw me eating from my purse and quickly inquired, "Andrea, what the heck are you doing? There's food here you know. You didn't have to bring you own!". See dear trainer...I am following the rules.

As the evening progressed, I guzzled my water. Glass after glass, not thinking that I would have to get up not once, but four times through out the evening to pee. It was the last trip to the potty that got interesting. As I finished up in the bathroom, I found myself in the lobby of the Sky Centre. It was there...that it happened. I realized my underwear was twisted. Looking around and over my shoulder, there was no one in sight. So, I decided to adjust right there in the lobby. So, I reached down and started adjusting. Gracefully, I adjusted them and comfort once again returned. I laughed to myself as I just made adjustments to my underwear in the middle of a public lobby with out anyone seeing me do it. And then I remembered as I began to walk towards that door of the auditorium, there are camera's everywhere in the Casino. So, I glanced up and sure enough....there was the all-seeing eye. I wonder who witnessed my little "adjustment". What poor soul got to watch in real time...me with my hands down my pants adjusting my underwear. So, I waived to the camera, smiled sheepishly and returned to my seat. It is definitely a night to remember.

Tomorrow is weigh day. Tomorrow is rest day. And I am looking forward to both. I think.

Cheers!!
