Training Trials/Different Strokes

Today we had an all staff training. I didn't bring any food except for a snack because they usually have something with a salad which I am fine with. Well they only had pasta and sandwiches. I took a couple sandwiches and just ate the meat and veggies off, which was pretty good. Every presenter handed out candy and chocolate so there was a pile on my table all day...no big deal. Then the cookies come out. i mean these are white chocolate macadamia nut cookies 4 inches in diameter and I know how good they are. i have had them many times. I could smell the combination of sweet nut and chocolate. I wanted it, I almost justified it to myself too thinking life is too short, what is one cookie going to do, but i didn't have any...i thought about breaking off just a piece, but i didn't! I am looking at the bigger picture which is a healthier me. I don't think i got in enough veggies today, but i am lucky i stayed on the wagon at all. Do you know how hard it is being at an extremely boring training with cookies and candy right in front of you?

Another funny story. I was at a stoplight coming home from downtown LA. It was a really long light and there was a bus blocking my lane. i started to look around and I noticed a guy with his back to me on the sidewalk with a huge bag. i thought it was a little weird, but whatever. As i kept watching him he took his jeans off. No big deal he had boxers on, whatever.  I just thought to myself maybe he is a traveler changing his pants for the evening, I mean it is a really major street so an odd choice of dressing locations, but whatever. I kept watching him. The next thing I know he whips his boxers off, butt naked!! I could not believe it and I could not stop starring. A couple of people on the street screamed and went on with their business, but most people didn't pay it half a glance. He bent over :( grabbed another pair of pants and took his time putting them on. I mean I don't take that much time trying on clothes in a dressing room, let alone changing on a major street in LA. I just laughed to myself and was happy to go on my way when the light was green. Different strokes for different blokes!
