Salad is not a meal...

Preface: I've posted more than once that I've put on a few lbs. because of the traveling and eating out. Well, yesterday, I totally gorged myself: bagel & creamcheese for breakfast; Jack-in-the-Box for lunch; and a huge dinner with dessert. I was feeling fat and bloated all night. Then, a commercial came on for a diabetes medicine. At the end it showed a guy staring at the guy next to him eat a huge burger. He shakes his head and takes a bite of his salad. The message is, whatever medicine was being advertised and a healthy diet can combat diabetes and other health problems. So...I decided it was time for me to eat a little healthier........

Fast forward to lunch: I decided to go to Baja Fresh for lunch. Surely, there would be some tasty, low-fat salad. I wasn't disappointed. I chose the mahi mahi enselada with the green salsa (not the roasted duck with the mango salsa - I'm no caveman). It looked like a healthy portion. I took it back to my desk at work and consumed every last piece of romaine lettuce and tomato. Well...nice snack. Here it is 20-minutes later and I'm starving. Who can be satisfied with this rabbit food? Isn't there supposed to be chips with this? Where's the beef (and rice and pasta and bread and...)? OMG! I'm going to eat this Fresh Nap moist towelette. Napkins contain fiber don't they?

Oh, well... Only four hours 'til dinner. The good news is that the pico de gallo goes right through me and out my pores. So, I smell like I had a good mexican food lunch....

BTW. Cheezy cliche of the day: Draw a line in the sand... I guess it means to stand your ground - sometimes to dare someone to cross it, other times to not permit yourself to cross it. Either way, it's just sand...
