Today is brought to you by the letter "A"!

I just had to blog about this before I forgot it. (my memory is pretty ...well yeah, it sucks)!

Lunchtime - I had a taco salad to make but I have had that the last 2 days and I just wasn't feeling it so I had some casserole that a coworker made for us. It had pasta, broccoli and cheese and there was some sausage pieces in it but I picked those out. At any rate it was good but not very filling - I wanted more. I knew the casserole was not the healthiest so I limited how much I took. It went like this...

Placed my $1.00 in the vending machine - pushed the button to get my money back. A coworker walks in and says -"need change?" I said, "no, I'm talking myself out of eating junk."

I come back to my desk and I have some popcorn, but it is old but I figured I will give it a shot. I popped it, put in a bowl - tasted it and it was NASTAY! Threw it away, washed the bowl. Went back to the vending machine and just looked. There were pringles, pretzels, pop tarts, oreos, Snickers, m&m's -- long story short NO HEALTHY snacks.

Dang, I'm still hungry! I found an apple (a friend that was not here today - I stole it) and I had some peanut butter. BOOYAH! A healthy snack, filling and YUMMAY!!!

I was proud of myself, because honestly in the past I would not have thought about it - if I was hungry I would have just rationalized how I would workout harder or make up for it later.

LMAO!! WTG FF!! Sounds like you got quite a workout just trying to find something!! I'm pretty lucky, the CEO of our company keeps a big glass bowl in our kitchen and fills it w/ apples and oranges, PLUS we don't have a vending machine here! I'm so proud of you for avoiding that stupid thing.....I don't think I'd be that strong if I were walking by it & hungry!! Good girl!! xoxo
