Tonight was “Dine Out” night, and I’m quite thankful that they raised the stipend from $25 to $30 as even $30 doesn’t get a person that far when eating at a restaurant. We went to the Blue Bird Bistro which had a number of organic, locally sourced items. My favorite part was the cheese curds.
I did try to eat less today, and the retraining made it easier to do so since my after-lunch energy slump didn’t come. I normally gain weight during these Readings, and I believe that a lot of that comes from snacking to try and stay awake while we are grading all of these essays. My strategy of standing and grading instead has been partially successful, but I’m not holding out a lot of hope as for those snacks are definitely a weakness of mine.
