Have you ever had this dinner duscussion with yourself?

Me – It’s snowing, the cat is sick, I worked all day, the dog has to go out again… I don’t feel like making dinner.

Head – Excuse me! That’s exactly why you need to eat a good dinner!

Me – OK, the pork chop is thawed, and I have a sweet potato.

Head – Oh no you don’t missy. You are eating a salad. Or are you going to just let all that beautiful produce rot?

Me – OK, OK. Lettuce, brocolli, green onions – is that good enough?

Head – Great! And see that wonderful canteloupe you already have cut up? Grab that too.

15 minutes later …

Me – Wow, this is good!

Head – See. And it took you a whole 15 minutes.

Me – Yeah, I know. I wrote the book.

Head – Well, you should follow your own advice!

In case you think that I’m some sort of heatlhy eating saint – I’m really no different from you. I’m very busy, and often I don’t feel like making something to eat. But I don’t feel like running out to get something either. And 9 times out of 10 – I’m sorely disappointed in food I get out, so I know better than to give in.

As a matter of fact, last night I gave in. I had been running around like a chicken with my head cut off, and we are supposed to get at least a foot of snow today. So I grabbed the new Red Barron frozen pepperoni pizza to try.

It took over 25 minutes to bake the silly thing, and it tasted like frozen pizza. I don’t know why I think someday a frozen pizza will taste good…

I felt bloated and tired after I ate it, and I still felt tired when I got up this morning. What did I expect? There’s no nutrition in a frozen pizza. So now I started a super hectic day with not enough sleep or nutrition. Not good.

But tomorrow will be better. I’ve made sure of it. Even if we do get over a foot of snow.

Now, I’m going to go cover the sleep part…

See you soon.
