I got a slow start this work week. It’s just as well that I don’t go out on the road bike Monday mornings.

For starters, I overslept. It was already 7:00 when I woke up; and I have to be at work for 8:00 on Mondays. This is another reason I wish I could work from home full time!

Getting up so late threw today’s meal plans out of whack. Last night I planned to cook a turkey burger for breakfast, and there wasn’t time. Instead, I grabbed a couple of the cheap snacks from the salvage store. Fine nutrition, that!

It’s lucky I fixed lunch last night; all I had to do was pack it in the cooler, so my slow start didn’t matter in that regard. It was just as well that I decided not to ride to work. A train came along just at the right time to block my entrance to the bike path.

Normally I have one or two small bites of candy before I leave for work. I figure I’m coming out ahead if that indulgence keeps me from buying candy at work. This morning I was in too much of a hurry for it; and I wound up buying M&Ms at lunch time. And I thought I was doing so much better at avoiding sweets! Guess I was wrong.

Maybe I was hungrier than I thought, too. As I was leaving work, I dug a GU-Gel out of my backpack pocket and devoured it. I wouldn’t have, but I had to detour to the drugstore to pick up a refill; and I didn’t want to get so hungry that I couldn’t resist ice cream.

When I got home, I finally got to cook that turkey burger. I had breakfast for supper!
