I am working 8am to 11pm today and doing my best to not overeat OR undereat. It's days like this that I need support... so I am going to write it out to keep accountable. My biggest problem is usually UNDEREATING. I don't eat all day (especially if my band is too tight) and then binge at night... or lose energy altogether.

SO, I brought with me little snack foods that I can eat quickly in between election results... cheese, pudding, fruit, things like that... the big problem, OF COURSE, is that pizza hell arrives promptly in the newsroom at 7pm. Ergh!

Anyway, here's to staying accountable and remembering to eat.

BTW, I promised photos from yesterday's rally that we reporter on. I met Hillary and Franken. It was exciting because both (aside from the campaigning crap) have celeb status (ex First Lady and SNL star)

I know it's not 100% healthy, but you could just eat the toppings off the pizza and leave the carb-laden crust for the garbage man. At least you would get some protein from the cheese...... Also, thanks for sharing the photos......work is sooooooo boring for me today and it's nice to see that someone else has an interesting job.

Working that long of a shift makes for a long stressful day! Keep thinking positive and munch on your snacks. You could maybe have a small thin crust piece minus the crust or a few small bites here and there. Pizza is my biggest downfall, I could live on it!!
Your pics were awesome, don't you feel all giddy from meeting both "celebrities"?

Cool pictures! Good idea Rick had about eating the topping off the pizza only. You brought some great portable snacks with you. Good luck in T minus 140 minutes
