Reflection of the Day

So I'm sitting here eating my lunch, which consists of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, 1/2 of a 1 lb. bag of carrots, and some apple slices donated by Judy, and I started to think about how this wasn't going to last me very long and when should I start planning my trip outside the office to relieve the cravings I know I'll be experiencing in a few measly hours.

This led me to wonder if it had always been this way. I am trying to cut down on the animal protein in my diet for various reasons (none of which I am going to go into here, but you can ask me privately if you really want to know), so this is not my usual hearty fare, but still ....

Anyway, I started thinking about my school days, my elementary school days. Those were days when you ate a bowl of cereal in the morning, went to school and ran around, got a break to eat essentially the same lunch that I'm eating today, then you got another break to run around, and then you had to wait until 5 or 6 in the evening until dinner time. I don't remember perishing of hunger back then when the mid afternoon hit. And I was active then! Now I just sit on my butt all day and I'm hungry! Maybe I should start taking breaks to play dodge ball or keep-away or basketball. Then maybe I won't feel like there's a big pit in my stomach come 3 p.m.

I don't think it'll work.
