Formal Preparations

Fisher Formal is tomorrow night! I'm really excited, as this is one of the last times the majority of our classmates will all be together for a night! Last year's formal was so much fun, though I don't necessarily remember much about it (8 drink tickets will do that to you, I suppose). What's nice is that this year, they offered the option to buy a $35 ticket which got you 8 drinks and appetizers, or a $10 ticket that gets you appetizers and no drinks, so I'm going with that plan. Celina is having a pre-party at her house, so I'll bring some flavored vodka and some diet sprite to mix up and drink before heading to formal, and then I'll just munch on the appetizers and drink water once I get there.

I told Amanda about formal last week, and she said that as long as I was good with my diet Monday through Friday afternoon, I could go crazy and eat whatever I wanted once I got to formal, so I've been sure to keep my calorie counts really low. I'm also lowering my limits for carbs and fat today and tomorrow to prepare for all the yummy, classy bar-food type appetizers they're going to serve at formal (pizza, bruschetta, chicken satay, Asian spring rolls and a veggie and hummus tray). Coming up with 3 meals and 2 snacks that only amount to 40 grams of carbs and 25 grams of fat seemed like it would be quite a challenge, but thanks to the food tracker on Livestrong.com, I figured it out, and I don't think I'll feel too starved by the end of the day.

All I know is that the food at formal had better be really good to make today and tomorrow's diet worth it!
