Today we had a team lunch at work today. I knew it might be a bit of a challenge, so I set myself up for success. I threw some baked chicken breast into a container with half an avocado. Yes, several people asked me pointedly what was in the container and why. I explained that I wasn't sure anyone was bringing chicken and I don't eat ground beef (well, I will eat organic ground beef, but not regular).
When the person bringing the lettuce and tomato sent an email saying she wouldn't be in, I called a colleague who was coming in late and asked her to pick it up. Like me, I knew her plan was to make a salad instead of eating the chips or tortillas. She did. So I made a salad with that stuff plus my stuff from home.
Afterward, someone pointedly asked me if I was going to eat a cupcake. (Uh, eat a cheap cupcake from Wal-Rip??? Yuck!)
Why do people feel the need to be the darn food police???
Oh, and before the day was out the team was already planning our next "food gathering" - finger foods. Originally Halloween, but now it's Wednesday before because the Employee Satisfaction team is serving subway sandwiches, chips, and cookies on Halloween. We also planned the pot luck for Thanksgiving.
I gotta tell you, good food tempts me, but cheap crappy food doesn't (unless I'm hormonal - ha ha). And if people want to get together over food, that's cool. Just don't give me a hard time when I don't want to eat it.
End of rant.
Did a good weight training session at the gym, followed by the elliptical.
Slept great last night and hope I do so again.
Watching a little football and then I'm off to bed!

Seriously, why do people need to be the food police? Can't they just enjoy their food and leave others to enjoy theirs?
Well done for planning ahead. When people ask questions about why you're eating that way, just smile and say, Because it makes me happy!
