(Small, little, tiny) PANIC ATTACK

I woke up this morning to the realization that November is the mother-load of all off off-roading months.

November starts with 5 days in California (San Francisco and Napa - awesome).
Immediately followed by 5 days of company (my mother ... yes the mother-load).
Followed by Thanksgiving week.
Followed by a trip to Philadelphia (beginning of December ... not exactly November, but I'm counting it.)
(And December is FULL EVERY weekend.)

That's a lot.  That's too much (if I partake in everything).  It WILL completely derail me if I don't have a super, duper well thought out plan.

So here it is ... in writing ... as a reference.

1.  California will be amazing and the meals totally worth it.  Eat, drink, be merry.
2.  Return to W30 IMMEDIATELY in preparation for company.
3.  Company will be stressful, but there will be only 1 meal (maybe 2) I'll off-road.  I must hold to that plan.  I'll be recovering from my eating and drinking in California.  I need to eat well to handle the stress, not eat my stress.  REMEMBER THIS!!
4.  Thanksgiving is ONE MEAL!  Eat, drink, be merry.  Return immediately to W30.  (And I cook the dinner - lots of compliant options.)
5.  Return to W30 until trip to PA.

I will FOCUS that this month is about being with friends and family, doing things, having fun, celebrating.

I DO NOT want to have to "start over" in January.

I want to think of this as a test of my new resolve and my new tools.  This is the mother-load of all tests.  I'm ready.  I have a plan.  I am prepared.  I MUST not let myself down.  September and October were build up months and I've learned from the experience.

I will ROCK THIS!!
