Today I flew out at 7am, which meant I rose bright and early at 4am. I packed enough supplements and meal bars for the week so I'd always have good food on me. I also packed the powder mix for smoothies and a shaker cup. This way I can duck into a smoothie or coffee shop and have them mix it for me on the go. It's a cheap, healthy alternative to coffee and donuts.
Arriving at the conference, I forgot how big the place was and how much walking was involved. A couple years back they used RFID to track everyone at the conference and see how much they walked throughout the week. The winner was an older researcher who wound up walking 40 miles of the course of the 7 day conference. wow. Amazing considering that the main floor was only open for 4 days that year. I think I put in about 3 miles today. Fun.
Around 530pm they started bringing out waves of food and setting up buffets throughout the showroom floor. Beef skewers, quesadillas, pasta, broiled turkey in gravy, fresh white bread, rolls, veggie trays, and veggie egg rolls. Given the choices and the reality that I'd go another 4 hours without food if I didn't eat something, I opted for the veggie egg rolls and the raw veggie tray. The egg rolls weren't the healthiest choice, and I suppose I broke the diet a bit since I think they were made from a corn wrap, but given the options it wasn't so bad.
One day up. One day down. I'm counting it a victory. Tomorrow's goal is to find some fresh fish here in town and dig in!!
