Going Bananas

Are you ever so busy that you forget to eat?  This morning, my brother called and we decided to get together for coffee on the spur of the moment.  So I quickly showered and the next thing I knew, I was out the door on my way to meet my brother and indulge (as much as I allow myself to indulge these days) in my drink of choice, a café au lait with soy milk or a “soy misto” as some may say.  At the get-go, I knew that I would probably be gone for at least a couple of hours so I did take a banana with me, but what I thought would be just a couple of hours ended up being much longer.  We had a nice time talking and catching up and we later moved the conversation back home, all the while not realizing that I had eaten just one banana the entire day.  Soon enough, it was past five o’clock and I was tying up loose ends to finish the business day before going to an appointment, so I grabbed my second banana of the day hoping that it would hold me over.  It’s probably not a good thing to only eat two bananas at such a late point in the day and then to finish the night off so poorly with just a few bites of Chinese takeout and some crackers, but when things are busy (and poorly planned out on my part) this is what can happen.  It’s tough being on-the-go and trying to get so many things done and keep with the diet.  On a day like today, honestly, it really would have been best to just drive through McDonalds.  That way, at least I would have gotten enough to eat…  Oh, well!  To a healthier tomorrow!  Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!!
