Thoughts: Okay, I just ate a disgusting quantity of cottage cheese with two packets of Equal and a teaspoon of cocoa as an emergency makeshift meal since my stock of SGX food on hand at work was depleted at 5:30 pm due to the inedible dinner provided by the catering company–cheesy scrambled eggs, potatoes, buttermilk biscuits, brownies, Caesar salad with the dressing already tossed in, and some kind of bacon quesadilla thing. I tried the eggs in the hopes that they were pure, unadulterated, unfertilized embryonic chicken goo, but alas, I detected the vile taint of CHEESE in the first bite and was forced to abandon the catered dinner in its entirety.

I polished off the last of my authorized meals instead, leaving me with only a few random fruits and a cup of Albertson’s cottage cheese (kept here for just such an emergency) to get me through meal 6.

Now regarding this cottage cheese…I thought I’d trained myself to enjoy it, but I am actively fighting a gag response right now. Apparently, I am trained to bolt down only 3/4 cup of CC, not a full cup, because I wanted to quit with 1/4 cup left to go and had to force the rest of it down.

On the positive side, I have no urge at all to dig into the carrot cake I stashed in the company freezer last night for my free day splurge Saturday. Thank goodness I took care of both planned workouts earlier today, because the thought of doing cardio with a stomach full of lumpy curds floating about in the 16 cups of water I’ve already drunk today does NOT appeal.

Nauseously yours,

Maggie
