Ugh, eating lunch at work is hard! I'm blessed with free lunch, yes, and I'm forever grateful. But free lunch leads me to eat things I usually wouldn't put money down for and stray from my diet path.
Take today's lunch, for instance: Tons of salad options, a braised tofu dish and grilled teriyaki chicken. All healthy, right? But they're offered alongside goat cheese frittata, ribs and two kinds of pizza. So what do I want? Goat cheese frittata and tandoori chicken pizza, of course!
But I'm not going to do it. The value of a cheat day (my Sunday) is that I keenly remember how miserable it made me feel. So today I'll have either the teriyaki chicken and a salad or the cashew chicken salad. Off I go to investigate the options.
Just so you know what won out: grilled teriyaki chicken, noodles, steamed broccoli, mushrooms and a scoop of the cashew salad. I'm getting quite full.
