Well, yesterday was a big refeed day -- big annual wine blowout
dinner.  I planned to eat what I wanted and I did.  There were lots of
courses -- though all small and relatively light.  And there was lots
of wonderful wine.  If you're interested, the menu is at:

Unfortunately (in some sense, anyway), my capacity for wine seems to
have decreased a lot since I've lost weight.  And it may have been
affected by the fact that I was feeling like I was fighting off an
infection.  I probably drank the equivalent of about one bottle of
wine.  A year ago, this would have made me moderately high but no
more.  Last night it really made me feel very drunk.  And -- being
honest here even though it's unattractive -- I went into the ladies'
room after about 2/3 of the dinner and threw up.  After that I didn't
drink any more, and ate little, but I threw up again after I got back
to my hotel room.  I don't think anyone there knew -- most people had
drunk enough that they weren't all that perceptive -- but it wasn't
the way I wanted to end the evening.  I have learned that I will have
to drink much less at such events in the future.  (And I'm going to a
wine dinner -- though not on this scale -- next Saturday.  I'll plan
to drink much less there.)

One good side of the evening: I wore these great wide-legged black
pants (size 12), and clingy, glittery top with a plunging neckline
(size medium).  I thought I looked pretty good (and others seemed to
agree :-) .)

Anyway, here's the data -- dinner calorie estimates are very rough.
Of course, I don't know how much of the dinner calories I actually
absorbed, in the circumstances.  But that's not the way I want to
limit calories!

8:45 (home): 2 poached eggs on whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices melted
f/f cheese

10:15 (home): 1 cup red grapes

12:30 (driving to Charlottesville): energy bar

afternoon (hanging around in the hotel w/ friends): 1 package Ritz
Bitz; an ounce or so of mixed nuts; 1/2 package of animal crackers

evening -- 6:00 - 11:30 (wine dinner): lots of wines; appetizers
(breadsticks wrapped in prosciutto, rutabaga cups w/ bagna cauda
(anchovy stuff), rare tuna on toasted brioche); scallop terrine w/
fennel salad; pumpkin soup; ravioli with oxtail filling; campari &
orange sorbet; venison loin w/ lamb sausage and little veggie purees;
cheese plate; lemon tart; cookies (Ate almost none of the cheese &
dessert courses -- just a couple of tiny tastes.)

Totals: 2899 calories, 110g fat (34%), 249g carbs (34%), 111g protein
(15%)
           
Averages for the week: 1645 calories, 26% fat, 36% carbs, 36% protein
(A reasonable average despite the big dinner, because I'd been eating
too little earlier in the week.)
