So, it's after 3 p.m., and the lunch you had at noon is a distant memory.
Do you go for those potato chips or that Snicker's bar that is calling out to you from the vending machine, eat the cake that's been put out for someone's birthday at the office, or go for your secret reserve chocolate/snack stash?
(This is a trick question, folks. The obvious answer is DUH, of course you do all three!)
No, we can't. That was the old Michele talking. The new Michele will not be tempted by the wonderfully sweet, sugary and salty snacks.
Instead, we will have something healthy and filling, to tide us over until our sensible dinner.
