</div>

Breakfast: nothing but a cup of Earl Grey, brewed extra strong and served with a splash of whole milk.

Lunch: dunno. I failed to make my usual sandwich to bring so I’m stuck with whatever I have sitting in my locker. It’ll either be Top ramen, which I’ll have to limit because of the carbs and salt, canned generic chili that I’ll have to limit because of the general grossness and salt, or some vending machine trail mix which, frankly, might be the best option.

Dinner: No clue. Tonight is parent/teacher conferences so I’ll be home late. Probably a fend-for-yourself night and if so I’ll have a bowl of cheerios or a sandwich.

Yesterday:  
Breakfast: Oatmeal with brown sugar, raisins, and walnuts.  
Lunch: Leftover pizza  
Dinner: Trader Joe’s meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and a salad.

Today:  
Breakfast: Oatmeal with brown sugar, raisins, and walnuts.  
Lunch: Probably the leftover Trader Joe’s meatloaf and mashed potatoes.  
Dinner: Probably the rest of the Trader Joe’s meatloaf (it says the package is three servings). I don’t think there’s enough potatoes left for a third serving, so I’ll probably end up putting together whatever other random leftovers and veggies are in the fridge for sides.

I thought I was the only one. I can’t remember the last time I ate more that a token bite of something before I got home from work at around 6pm. I just don’t have an appetite before then.

An apple on the way to work, then Tostitos with a cheese cup and salsa for lunch. Might get a handful of pistachios in a bit. Dinner hour🤷‍♀️

Not for dinner, don’t be silly. 😉 But I do have a bowl of ice cream most evenings.

No, no no. 1/4 cookie. That saves 1/4 for a before bedtime snack.

Same here. Plus, I get a little lethargic if I eat anything substantial during the day.

Filet mignon with pepper sauce, mashed potatoes and green beans; clam chowder as a starter; one pale ale and one glass of Shiraz. Little celebration.
