Update

Happy to report that four straight days of CAKE have had no ill effects. Or rather, no lasting ones.

I’m on a maintenance kick until the end of the month, eating reasonably and tastily. RadCon looms, but I also know that while on the road, I work out regularly.

Yesterday’s weigh in was a hydrated 184. Breakfast was oatmeal. Lunch was a cheese and greens salad, tossed with fire roasted salsa. Meal 3 was fruit, and the final consumption was again sausage + Cake + red wine.

This morning’s weigh-in was a slightly dehydrated 183.

Although the VD feast is this evening, today’s meals look to be more of the same. Just had oatmeal, and am drinking my tea. Lunch will probably be more salad, I have really been enjoying that level of food for lunch these past two weeks. Fruit for the ride home, and then a meal of soup, salad, yogurt-blueberry braised chicken over rice, red wine and possibly some sort of dessert.

I expect to be a bit down tomorrow morning, but hey, I’ll be having oatmeal for breakfast. And for the weekend, The BW has a waffle bar, but they also have tasty, tasty oatmeal.

On the Book Front, I have rediscovered the ancient technique of storyboarding, and I was able to proceed on the trickier bits of Chapter 10. I have been very frustrated with my dialogue in the latter half, so I decided to ignore it completely in favor of recording my intentions. Doing so allowed me to break the ice on a troubling bit of action, and also gave me a much more detailed environment in which to frame the scene. As time permits this weekend, I’ll be doing the same for all the rest of the “empty bits,” Including my final battle, which I have described in my notes as “superman II-esque”
