For most of my life, if I snack while I am working at the computer, it would usually be M&Ms or a Twix. I would take the king size M&Ms, open the package and just pull a few every once in a while. Of course now I have no idea when the last time I had a M&M or a Twix was.
And now that I am working to eat more salad items per the nutritionist’s orders (ha), I decided to try something different today. I bought a bag of “spring mix” (i know the container on the right is bigger than a bag), and put it next to the computer and while I was working, I just kept pulling out a bit here and a bit there.
Honestly, I don’t think my mind knows the difference. Most of the stuff in the spring mix has no real taste except for the purple leaves – not sure that I love those whatever they are.
I’d say that I ate about 1/2 of the bag across the day today including some while I was preparing dinner. Easily the most salad stuff I’ve eaten in one day ever. I assume this is still not enough to qualify as great but we will get there I am sure.
I think the funniest thing is that almost everything I’ve tried I’ve basically found to taste ok. Why didn’t I do this 20 yrs ago??
Tomorrow I am going to try eating some cucumber slices while I work.
