Still doing well with this little project. Today I got a little spolied as Carin showed up with some pasta and I must confess to feeling pretty full tonight. I feel kind of bad about it so as a penalty I will not be taking a lunch (my typical bowl of rice) to work tomorrow. I think this may turn into a practice as well in these latter remaining weeks. I think by this point I’ve realized that there’s no doubt in my mind that I can make it, so I want to make it a little more difficult.

I’m going to try not eating lunch tomorrow and see how it goes. If it goes well, then I’ll continue the next day, and so on and so forth. I know that sounds so simplistic, skipping a day of lunch, and in reality it truly is. However at my work lunch is not just about food, its about a break from the work and a time to socialize with friends and play chess and other activities. So in actuality it can be difficult sometimes to skip lunch, not just for the food, but for the experience as well. And its not easy to go for just the experience when 20 people around you are all chomping away. Nevertheless, we shall see how it turns out.
