random thoughts – Day 2,172 (Thursday) – poor choices

It was a day with some less-than-ideal dietary choices. It kicked off with cherry pie and coffee for breakfast. At least it was a smallish piece of pie, and the pie is almost gone and then it will no longer be a temptation. 

Lunch was a healthier improvement with homemade turkey vegetable soup from the freezer, with some fresh mushrooms and carrots added, plus half-and-half. It was delicious. In the words of an ex-husband, the first bowl “tasted like more” and was followed by a second bowl. And a third. In my defense, they were small bowls.

It didn’t take long before the food pendulum swung back to highly questionable choices. This time, it was an afternoon snack of too many sugar wafers with coffee flavored frosting schmeared on them.

After the day of reckless consumption, the plan was to give the digestive system a break and skip dinner. That idea didn’t last long and the next thing I knew I was dining on a square of the penne, salsa, cheese casserole from the other day. Later, there were more sugar wafers, but without the frosting this time.

Tomorrow I will do better. It will be easier because I have plans with Mom and won’t be sitting at home all day.
