day five

Choices... today was all about choices.
 I had to go into the city to pick up some stuff but stop at the Metro first. It was just around twelve noon and my helpful app had just informed me that it was time for lunch. This helpful app is pretty regimented about when I should eat. The thing is that since I've been following the regimen I pretty much agree with it. So I'm leaving the restaurant with no time to eat and I'm famished. Quick stop at the Metro and I thinks to meself, aha, I can just grab something small here, finish my chores and all will be well.
Usually, grabbing something small at the Metro involves their sandwiches : 3 inches of black forest ham topped with slabs of gooey brie smushed between fresh baked baguette (visualize Homer Simpson drooling now and you're on the right track). Even as the gravitational pull dragged me ever closer to the deli counter a small voice went off in my head. "Make a choice here, Cath", it seemed to be shouting.
I stopped, turned towards the produce, picked up a pear and a Vitamin Water (grape if you're curious) and went on my way.

I imagine there'll come a time when the little voice won't have to shout so loud and I'll make the right choices out of habit. Today I'm just happy I heard it... and that pear tasted way better than any sandwich coulda :)
