So, I'm sitting here guarding the house while the fam is asleep waiting for this hurricane to blow through and I have decided that anything that I eat between now and 7am will not be logged. What day would I log it for anyway? Saturday or Sunday? So far I'm working a pot of coffee and I've only eaten an orange. I also am not logging all the work I had to do a couple of hours ago to seal up a leak or the multiple trips carrying a shopvac full of water up the steps to dump outside. I guess whatever happens I'll be ok on my cals...lol. Then, I'm sitting here thinking WTF am I going to do if the basement floods anyway - if it floods, it's going to flood whether I'm sleeping or watching the water come in. Eh, guess I should stay up incase they post any more tornado warnings....I'm not used to this crap? Can anyone tell that I am feeling kinda delirious... FU Irene!

    Log it for the next day. That way the next day you will already have less calories to eat.

    I can't say I blame you in the least. Protect that precious family and yourself, first and foremost and stay dry!

    Praying you and your family are safe and sound! Don't even worry about the calories... my heartrate would be up during a hurricane, maybe that will burn those cals! Can't even imagine going through a hurricane.

    Please stay safe!

    Also, if you want to lose calories while eating you can always eat a negative calorie food :)

    I survived on an orange and a serving of almonds. Still going to skip logging because they were easily countered by the amount of urgent work I had to do keep the basement dry. I just realized that a 12 gallon shop vac weighs almost 100lbs - I guess that's why it felt kinda heavy the 6th time I carried it up the steps to take outside to dump out - lol. That was heavy - I'm a beast! :laugh: Also had to seal a window, inside and out mid storm. i'll say it again F.U. Irene! I hope everyone out there stays safe!
