How big is my commitment?

Today is our huge choir concert! There are six choirs at the college that are performing for a dinner theater tonight. We have two performances, and just going through the dress rehearsal this week I think it's going to be something special to be a part of tonight. I wish that I could be a guest to view it as spectator rather than being sequestered in a small room most of the time unless I am on stage...ah...but the price of performing :)

Here is my dilemma: We have to be at the college at 1pm for warm up, fine tuning, and to be ready to perform at the first show at 3pm. There is a two hour break between performances, and during that time the music department is feeding all 185 singers. They have not told us what the food is, and they haven't mentioned that if it's something really unhealthy that I don't want to eat...can I leave and go to Subway...hmmm.

I am nervous, and I can't just wait until it's all over to eat since we won't be finished until close to 10pm..sigh.

My choices: Eat what they are providing for us and hope that there are some choices that I can live with, pack my own food, risk the chance that I will be allowed to leave and go to Subway, or do a good workout this morning to counteract the potential damage of the dinner....sigh.

I don't have any idea what I am going to do.

I am leaning towards doing a workout this morning AND packing my own food as a "just in case" situation, but eating what they provide if there are some decent choices.

This commitment to myself is sometimes very difficult.

  1. The basics of weight loss is simple math - fewer calories must be taken in than burned off in a period of time. So - if they provide something "bad," just eat less (yes, I know that's easy for me to say). Calories are calories once they get into the body, so don't be afraid of certain foods. Just be aware of the quantity. (I know you know all this - I figure it doesn't hurt to be reminded! :) )
