So every once in a while ... like today, my morning gets away from me and I either don't make my morning protein shake or I don't eat an egg or some oatmeal and I run out the door. This is always a very bad idea because I NEED to eat a little bit every couple of hours or I get really cranky ... plus it's really bad for the metabolism and let's face it, I need all the help I can get in that department. I digress.
So on these mornings, I typically run through Starbucks and get a chai latte and a spinach, egg-white, and feta wrap thingy from there, but then sometimes I think to myself. Ummmmm ... I don't want to spend eight dollars for that and I really don't want to support Starbucks when I could support a "mom and pop" and somehow through all the bizarre brain maneuvers that happen during this time, I end up convincing myself that an apple fritter from a local donut shop is a better idea. So I pull off and ask for an apple fritter pay the $1.75, get in the car, take one bite and instantaneously remember why donuts are a bad idea. They make me feel like crap and they are very seldom tasty enough for that sacrifice, so all too often, I end up paying the $1.75 reminder fee. This is my penance for making a bad food decision.
One day I am hoping to remember that donuts are bad for me, and they make me feel like crap, and I'm not going to eat all of it anyway because it isn't worth the calories, the sugar crash or the upset stomach, but until them all the local donut shops can thank me for my occasional $1.75 contribution to their venture as I once again forget what I already know.
Thank goodness, I keep back-ups of my protein shakes and raw nuts in my desk drawer.
