There’s nothing worse than a dry sandwich.
We went to celebrate one of our coworkers moving on to greener pastures today and I ordered the soup and half sandwich. I’m back on the WW wagon after a 3 week hiatus and I’m trying to be all healthy, so I got turkey on whole wheat with spicy mustard.
Dryest. Sandwich. Ever.
Fortunately they paired it with lobster bisque, a nice 400 cal/39 fat gram soup that filled me right up. Eleven points for 8 ounces of soup. It was soooo worth it.
I know this sounds like a “today I went drivin’ in my hawt civic and ‘dis boy wuz tryin’ to STEP” post….but I take my meals very seriously. I am trying really hard to honor God with my body here, and when I eat something substandard, especially at a restaurant where I have to pay extra money for something I could have made better at home for a fraction of the price, it really irritates me. And now I can’t eat until I’m hungry again and that won’t be for a while.
And I’m focusing hard on this sandwich thing because I’m trying to avoid thinking about the things that actually ARE worse than a dry sandwich, like the fact that I have no clue whatsoever how to do my job right now. Talk about humility. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, right? And I know Christ knows how to do cost-benefit regression analysis because he invented it. But I haven’t had anything approaching an advanced math class in over 10 years and I’m having trouble putting my faith in something that abstract.
Hahaha, I just made two math puns…maybe I remember more than I think.
What I do have faith for is that God has never let me down in this job before and he is faithful. So somehow I’ll get through this. I am more than a conquerer.

Ha! So true! There is almost NOTHING worse than being on a diet and wasting those precious calories on nasty food.
