First Lunch
Soon after arriving to the office, I realized I was going to have a challenge to face this afternoon. We were meeting clients at 11, and it was probably going to be running through lunch, so that meant we were going to be ordering in. At first, I assumed we were going to order from Lubely’s, a deli/bakery that we usually get lunch from for clients. That wouldn’t be the case as today was Monday, the one day that they were closed. The topic then turned to pizza, and my heart about stopped. I had them order me a salad with no cheese or meats.
When the time for lunch came, the salad turned out to be just lettuce and a cup of dressing. I took about 1/2 of the lettuce and poured on just a dab of dressing, then mixed it with my fork. I didn’t take much, so I’m hoping it was about 2 tablespoons worth. So far, I’ve gone through 2 Diet Dr. Peppers, and it’s been good. I haven’t been “starving”, and I haven’t even thought about Mountain Dew. I survived both my first lunch, as well as my first lunch meeting. Now I’ve just got to keep on the path and not stray.
