Feeling a little nervous and apprehensive about a two day (all day) conference/workshop I start today. I know these things usually have a back table set up with sweet rolls, cookies, etc.
I have a tote bag packed with four 20 oz bottles of water, a restricted bar, and a pre-made drink. I also have my noon supplements packed in a little ziplock bag. Conferences usually provide bottled water, but I don't want to take any chances.
My coworkers are very supportive and have told me that I will get to choose our lunch location. Having them there with me will also (probably) help me stay on plan. They know how hard I've been working and would notice if I fix a plate of refreshments.
I've always had a tendency to snack at things like that because I'm not used to sitting still for so many hours... I usually drink a lot of diet coke and snack to stay awake. I'll just keep sipping on water today.
