Day 19 - Choices (again)

I am sitting in the cafeteria at my school, a place I am able to avoid most days because I choose to bring my lunch.  The only reason I am here now is I have duty every Tuesday to make sure no kids are acting up.  (Thankfully I have never seen that happen down here.)  Before I came down, it briefly occurred to me I could buy one of those yummy cream cheese/chocolate muffins that has who knows how many calories in it.  I thought to myself, "I ran 4 miles this morning, I can afford to splurge".  But the point of my exercise is not to buy myself more calories but to serve as another component of my healthy lifestyle.  So instead of bringing money down for a muffin, I decided to bring down a juicy honeybell orange instead.  I won't say the honeybell tasted the same as that muffin, but it was very sweet...to both my taste buds and my waistline!
