Tuesday morning, I actually wake up early and feel like getting up. I think "Hey, I could finally use that thermos that's been sitting in my freezer for a month, just waiting for a green smoothie to take to work." I was so proud of myself, so excited. Patted myself on the back all day.
I've found that if I eat something filling late in the work day, I'm not so likely to eat junk the minute I get home. So my plan was to drink it around 4:30. I have a late lunch, finishing my HUGE salad around 2:30. Ten minutes later, I realize - hey, because it's the day before a holiday, we get to leave work at 3:00 today. I couldn't take the smoothie home because I had several stops and didn't think it would make it sitting in the car in 90 degree weather.
So, I'm stuffed from lunch and, by now, have exactly 10 minutes before leaving. I was not about to waste my great big beautiful smoothie, that I had gotten up before 6:00 a.m. to make. So I gulped the whole thing down. My stomach hurt and stuck out like after a big Thanksgiving dinner.
But, gosh darn, I did it.
