Not really making fun of your small meals - just an observation that you
do seem to eat small portions. Just a comment, not a put down. I see
your meal pics and think....I would need more. :-)

Anyway, yeah.....I don't like to stop in the middle of the work day and
eat lunch. Eating makes me tired and eating at lunch for work makes the
2nd half of the day drag on forever. Just the V8 nutrition doesn't do
that to me.

When daughter was young, I started up my own business just to give me a
more flexible schedule. For many years, I didn't need a babysitter
except during the summer months.

During most of her school years, I could stay home until she got on the
bus. Then I would go to work at 9am and work straight through until
3:30. I was always home when she got home from school.

Since that gave 6 1/2 hours to work, I never stopped for lunch. I worked
those hours straight with no lunch and I always got home 15 minutes
before she did. No babysitter and no latch-key daughter.

That became a habit that I still do. No interest in taking lunch at
work. I'll take a 10 minute lunch break and go back to work and I still
can come home early with full hours. Drinking the V8 gives me nutrition
to carry on. :-D
