Strategic offsite meetings are invariably accompanied by tempting food. Not necessarily a good thing when you are on a diet. I am allowing myself a photographic gear weight budget for Nepal equal to the amount of weight I can take off my body between now and the end of November. I’d rather carry cameras than fat on my 150 mile trek. I am off to a good start but took a slight step backwards after the full day meeting accompanied by food at every break. My presentation at the meeting went very well and the entire day was extremely well organized concluding within minutes of the scheduled end.
