Must...eat...food

You never realize how much food is a part of your daily life until you can't eat what you really want.  I don't think I've thought so much about food in my entire life as I have in the past 10 days.  When I'm not eating, I'm thinking about when I'm going to eat.  When I'm eating, I'm thinking about what I'm eating (and what I'm not eating).  It has made me realize how horribly I usually eat...OK, I guess I always knew but didn't want to inconvenience my life-style enough to make the change.

So, check out what I found in my gluten-free crackers today!  I was sitting at my desk, minding my own business, taking what pleasure I could from a dry, saltless wafer of cardboard (OK, they aren't really that bad), and I noticed this crazy thing!  I wanted to take it as a sign that I should just chuck the bag and go grab a box of Ritz crackers, but I realized that was completely unreasonable--my hunger speaking.  I thought about writing a letter and sending this to the company hoping they'd send me a free box...then I though about it...do I really want to eat these again???

I'm ashamed to admit that I backed out of the challenging yoga class tonight, but I'm getting ready for my 8:30 walk.  Anything is better than nothing, right?   You would think that after an entire weekend, I'd be all caught up on my grading, but that is not the case!  I made a pretty good dent, though, so I think it's time for some me time! 

Laters!
