Last week I went home to SJ to attend the\u00a0CNIE<\/a> conference. It’s been a few years since I’ve been home so I spent an extra few days in the city and crashed at my mum’s place.<\/p>\n

CNIE 2010 was special for me this year. It’s not the first time a paper I’ve been associated with has been presented at a conference, but it was the first time that I was involved in the presentation. Needless to say I was a bundle of nerves and Dr. D might have expressed some concern thet I’d become a babbling idiot during the presentation. I may have babbled a bit, but I certainly didn’t go off the rails and both Dr. D and N should have nothing to worry about career wise. Well, at least not due to being associated with me at this time.<\/p>\n

Eating and exercising was a real challenge at home. Once the convention was over it wasn’t as difficult since I mostly ate at mum’s. Eating out can be a veritable mine field. Sometimes the healthy options can be filled with hidden fat, calories, sugar, etc.\u00a0I decided that if I was going to go overboard on a meal or two then I’d best enjoy myself.\u00a0 And with that decided, all was right with the world. Lobster stuffed cheesy mushroom caps found their way onto my plate.<\/p>\n

I think this attitude really helped keep me on track while I was away from home. Rather than going overboard all the time, or denying myself constantly, I had the special splurge meals and the standard lifestyle change<\/em> type meals. When all was said and done I returned home 0.8lbs lighter. I likely would have lost more weight over the time I was gone if I’d been less indulgent. But I think the important thing is that I continued to lose weight and still managed to do the social eating (lunches, trips to restaurants, etc.) that would have easily derailed me in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
