Will the Sundance Film Festival make me gain weight?

I have to leave my home tomorrow by 5 a.m. to catch a 7 a.m. flight to Salt Lake City, where I’m meeting up with eight old pals from college. It’s a reunion of sorts. We all used to work at The Daily Barometer together a decade ago. These are some of the best current and former journalists I’ve ever known. And the best drinkers, too.

These people can be trouble.

The eight of us will be attending the Sundance Film Festival. We’ll be watching movies by day, and partying by night.

I’m a little nervous about this trip. Not because I won’t enjoy seeing my old friends, but because it will be a test. Can my new lifestyle mesh with a weekend of partying with old friends? Can I stick to my diet while staying at a hotel? Do vacations mesh with the Just Lose It! program?

We’ll see.
