I am battling the trend to hunker down and eat as the days get shorter and the nights get longer. Today for breakfast I am eating a bowl of boiled wheat with ground flax, maple syrup, and almond milk with some raw cashews thrown in and a few dried apples on the side. I don't know if its the breakfast of champions or chubbies! Time will tell.

I ate a handful of almonds for my mid-morning snack.

The family of a patient here brought in a lovely huge basket of goodies for the nursing staff. I know. I know! This is an obesagenic work environment. Thankfully there were nutritious options in the basket as well as the chocolate options. I ate a date and an apple with my lunch which was a bowl of bean soup. Thankfully the sun was shining at noon so I went out for a good walk on my lunch break.

Later in the afternoon I ate 2 bananas and a barely-there mini orange. Now it is pouring rain and all I want to do is curl up and sleep but that wouldn’t look too good in the workplace.

I ate 2 pieces of cheese and 2 bananas then a bran muffin-- gut rumbling big time.

I am now home eating 3 pieces of toast with peanut butter.
and then I finished that off with a handful of dried apples which did not help my rumbling gut.
