The day started off healthy enough. A banana to begin the day. I came to work with a bag of Healthy Choice entrees to stick in the freezer. I take a Pepperoni French Bread Pizza with me on my way to my desk, with plans of taking it to the microwave. Then I see it. Signs above my cube neighbors desk. It’s his birthday, and his desk is covered with goodies. Oh god, this might be a rough day. I take the French Bread Pizza, and and cook it in the microwave. It was okay. I wrote a review of it for the blog.
Then I go over and wish him a happy birthday. I scan his desk for something remotely healy to eat. There are bagels, but you gotta have cream cheese witha bagel to do it right, so I pass. But I did take a small bite sized Snickers bar thing. Okay…not bad.
But then a little while later, I was passing his desk. My hand reached out, snatched up a small brownie, and I ate it. It was good! So I had another small one. Okay, enough. But I am eyeing the bag of cheese flavored Gold Fish crackers that he has on his desk.
Okay lunch time. I went off to the library to meet with a friend, and check out the used book sale for some low fat cook books. SCORE! I bought five different cook books! Back to work.
I went to the freezer to pull out another Healthy Choice entree…I think I have a roasted turkey one, and a four cheese manacotti one. But something catches my eye. More free food, and I automatically bee-line for it. There are some wraps, potato chips, a cookie, and some pasta salad. Apparently left over from a lunch time meeting. The wraps look like tuna salad, and one that I think was a chicken wrap. I grabbed the chicken wrap. There were no plates, so I grabbed a napkin, and piled some of the pasta salad onto it. I skipped the bags of Lays potato chips, and the peanut butter cookie. I went back to my desk. The wrap seemed healthy enough with chicken, tomato, lettuce, onion, and who knows what else. It was good. The pasta salad was good also. Okay, I’ll skip the Healthy Choice entree, since I have already eaten.
But then I hear them next door at the birthday cube discussing this chocolate cake. I heard them say it was Ultimate Chocolate Cake. Oh god, I have had that before, and it is so good. Next thing I know, I am over there getting a slice…a small slice of the Ultimate Chocolate Cake. It was good!
Okay, nows it 2:10pm, and the work day is over half over. I think once I make it home, I will be doing okay. My wife will be making something healthy for dinner. And I can snack on bananas, oranges, and other low fat stuff.
I guess eating a little not-so-healthy stuff is okay once in a while. The thing is moderation!!!! I don’t eat like this everyday, and I don’t gorge myself on the stuff when I do eat it. Anyway, like I said in another post, my weight was down to it’s lowest point in almsot 4 years this morning. I really don’t want to lose much more weight. Actually I wouldn’t mind weighing a little more, but of lean muscle.
