Breakfast -- Coffee, multigrain bagel, veggie
cream cheese
Lunch -- Pad Thai with veggies and tofu
Dinner -- Avocado, tomato and onion sandwich on whole grain flax seed bread, mango
Yep, I failed at breakfast. I have failed
because I failed to plan or something like that. I found myself having
breakfast with my hubby at a local bakery. The only whole/multi-grain
thing I could find that did not come with eggs and cheese was the bagel. (I
deftly avoided the delicious muffins, cheese Danish, and bacon/gouda quiches. Yay, Me!!)
I guess I am not committed to this enough to eat that bagel completely
dry. I opted for the low fat veggie version. In my rationalizing
brain, I figured that the veggie one was at least closer to vegan than the
others. Yeah, didn’t make much sense, like most of our rationalizations.
A saying I learned many years ago, so long I
can’t possibly attribute to any one person, is, “You can go a week without sex,
but you can’t go a day without a rationalization.” My office partner
can’t go 15 minutes without a rationalization. She rationalizes
everything from her lunch selection to her wardrobe. It’s pretty
exhausting just to watch. You all know someone like that, I am sure.
I, on the other hand, try desperately to
rationalize as little as possible. You see, early in my relationship with
my husband I told him about the saying. He and I joked about it
often. In one instance where the rationalization was a far stretch – you’ve
been there, don’t lie-- he extrapolated the saying to mean that the more we
rationalized, the less sex we would have. I was not about to risk
that, so somehow, it has worked on my subconscious to make me rationalize as
little as possible.
