....is killing my diet.

The first debate is scheduled at my school for Friday (IT BETTER HAPPEN!!!!) and we have all of these events and lectures and dinners. My cousin works for McCain campaign and she's been inviting me to dinner with different governors and whatnot, and while its a fantastic experience for me, I'm kind of just stuck here getting larger during the week.
I don't have time to workout between classes and these lectures so I'm pretty much expanding all weekend. But I wouldn't change it for the world.

I just hope I can get back on track on Monday. Do you think it's a bad idea for me to throw it all out the window for just 4 days?
I do the best I can, but I don't want to miss an event because I was too sweaty from working out...

I wish everything could just run on MY schedule! haha

    You have an awesome opportunity to attend all of this activities!! Take advantage of it!

    Personnally, I would enjoy the experience and jump back on the wagon once all of the chaos has left.

    I'm thinking of turning the debate into a fitness activity--say, every time one of the candidates says "initiative" or "special interests" you do ten jumping jacks . . .

    Let's just say that my arms got a HUGE workout!!!!
    We had a big picnic and set up blankets to watch the debate on huge hd screens, and my butt hurt SOOOOO badly during the debate that I ended up doing modified dips during the thing...my triceps are SORE!

    What a great day here at Ole Miss though....It was TOO MUCH FUN!!!!
    I love politics WAY too much!
