Just a quick note to keep in the flow – it’s been a long Monday and the rest of the week is a little overwhelming so I’ve got to get to bed. My schedule is packed and it keeps changing; I don’t know if I’m offering good customer service or indulging in people pleasing when I work with my clients to move their sessions around.
You’d think I’d have the good sense to eat nothing but super foods going into a high energy week like this, but all I really wanted today was waffles. I’ve got a thing for waffles. Toaster waffles with butter and syrup. Now, they’re whole grain waffles and it’s genuine maple syrup and the butter comes from cows who actually ate grass so all told, it’s not exactly junk food – but look what happens when you try to side step your cravings:
Breakfast today was my usual oats, yogurt, almonds and blueberries; I figured I’d get more bang for my buck there than with waffles. Lunch was the last of the dandelion greens with plenty of sesame sauce and gnocchi with probably too much butter. Very tasty, and seemingly a better lunch than waffles.
Around midafternoon I started feeling ill. “Puny” is what a friend of mine would call it, and it’s a good description, just weak and irritable and overall un-well. So I hit the store for some tonic water to settle my stomach and got a bag of Peanut M&Ms, which I ate half of sitting in the parking lot. Back at the office I had a banana and a cup of tea.
I got home from work just in time to watch Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother, which was a big deal to me ’cause those are two of the only three shows I watch on TV and I hate to miss them. Dinner was a bizarre blend of sweet potato mash, sunflower seeds, feta cheese and scallions. It looked good, and tasted good, too, and at the time I thought was a better dinner than the waffle I wanted. (Yes, I do know about Tivo, I used to have a Tivo, but I lost it in the divorce so now I schedule myself so I can be glued to the TV from 8p-9p on Mondays and Wednesdays. Can you guess what show I like on Wednesdays?)
After dinner I ate the rest of the Peanut M&Ms. Then I had a cup of tea. Then finally, around 10pm, I had the waffle. Now I can rest, but the likelihood of a weird food and candy hangover tomorrow is high. Next time I’m just gonna to have the waffles and be done with it.
