The trip started out reasonably enough. True, Monday night was a bit of over indulgence with drinking and eating a bit too much buy my word Tuesday I was Mr. Discipline - great restraint at the hotel breakfast buffet, only a cup of soup and a small sized Chef's Salad at the deli for lunch (and I didn't even eat all the meat and cheese!), and then some sushi (modest amount) and no over drinking at dinner. Pretty good diet discipline for a business trip.
Ah but then today...Magical Unicorn Pony God of Travel notice out of the corner of her eye that I was flying and caused my connecting flight from Denver to Albuquerque to be delayed by a number of hours. Actually at this stage of the game, MUPGT and I are kind of going through the motions. I suspect she doesn't think I'm a very worthy opponent any more in my semi-retired state. Very little to none of my travel has the kind of time intensity as it did when I was working full time. So if there are issues, it is a bit easier to go with the flow. That doesn't make it very much fun for the Single Horned Disruptor. As a result, I get her kind of halfhearted efforts just to remind me that I'm not totally forgotten
Any way I had 4 plus hours to kill in the Denver airport going over the lunch hour. I knew I should eat healthily. But I didn't want to. I wanted to indulge - the classic 'eat when you're feeling sorry for yourself' thing. What really caught my eye was Lefty's Philly Cheese Steak. I made a feeble effort to resist. I walked to another part of the terminal where I knew there some healthier options. But I didn't give them any serious attention. I turned right around and went back to Lefty's and ordered my Cheese Steak Sandwich, which I got with Fries...and a glass of wine.
It was actually a very good rendition of the Cheese Steak Sandwich especially for an airport.
I'm thinking for the sake of not feeling gross remorse that I should put off weighing myself for few days.

surely once in a while is okay to indulge!
It's so hard to make good food choices when so many tasty options are right in front of you. Give yourself a pass on this one. I think you earned it.
