It will pass. I know it will. I have a love/hate relationship with my meal plan during the school year. It is absolutely amazing to not have to pack a lunch or even dinner when I am here late at night. I hate it because I am tempted each day with a delicious bakery offering GIANT cookies, cakes, and cupcakes. Today was no different.
I have decided to TRY to stick with Cookie Friday this year and avoid the bakery counter other days during the week because the craving will pass. I am not trying to deny myself cookies or dessert for that matter. I know I do not have the willpower to only eat 1/2 the cookie. Believe me. I’ve tried. I’ve wrapped the second 1/2 up for later, hidden it in my desk but somehow I can always rationalize myself out of only eating 1/2 the cookie. That is why I am trying Cookie Friday – I can look forward to my cookie all week and make that cookie even more special. In the mean time, I am going to try to bring in some smaller, more manageable desserts to have daily – like the small piece of chocolate I ate today!
Take that Cookie Craving
You’ve been satisfied by a piece of Dark Chocolate with Deep Forest Mint.
On to lunch.
I had an odd lunch today. I took a baked potato and cut it up over a salad. In the salad was:
- spinach
- tomato
- cheddar cheese
- mushrooms
- beets
- black beans
- white beans
- little drizzle of olive oil – no vinegar today!
I really like to do this with sweet potato but there was no sweet potatoes today.
I need to get into an afternoon groove – I have a Farmers’ Market to get to in a little while.

I’m definitely a bit jealous of your meal plan…such a good deal to not have to pack a lunch and be able to mix it up now and then!
Hi Susan – I agree completely – although sometimes, the meals get rather repetitive. I can’t complain though!
