Working long after I planned to be home

One of the biggest challenges, for me, is ending up in a situation where I am hungry and don't have time to get a meal that is healthy. This past year, I have often ended up working hours longer than I was originally scheduled to work or ended up rushing from one place to the next and so got something fast to eat. Sometimes, I was lucky and I had healthy leftovers from the previous night's dinner, but often, I ended up in a drive through or encouraging my husband to go ahead and order pizza, I'd have some when I got home.

Today, as I was about to leave for work, I thought, "Just in case, why don't I grab a couple of extra MF meals? I don't want to end up starved or beyond my 3 hour time period." I ended up staying 2 hours later at work than I had thought when I left the house, but the only thing that happened as a result was that I was 20 minutes late for my my L&G meal. I was able to grab and eat my MF meals when I needed to, and didn't end up tempted to eat the oodles of candy, ice cream sandwiches, brownies, etc that the lovely volunteers brought in when it was time for me to eat. 

So many times I have been derailed by ending up in this situation before. I am so glad to have better choices now.

Fast and convenient has new meaning now. ;)
