Today went by really quickly at work because things were busy. At lunch I ran by the post office and ran home. I only had time to prep my salad so I decided just to take it back to the office and eat at my desk- which apparently is the worst idea germ wise.

I try to not to do it often because I like to move around after sitting all morning, but a girls gotta go what a girls gotta do. So I ate at my desk.
A delicious salad made with kale, red leaf and romaine lettuce (all freshly picked), sweet corn off the cob, raw okra, cherry tomatoes, 1/4 of an avocado, shrooms, and salsa. Really great combo and I loved the sweetness of the corn.
Mid afternoon I had some Virginia Salted Peanuts and a navel orange. After leaving work I headed to the other house (what I will, from now on out, call the house Isaac is house sitting). At the other house they have a strawberry garden… which I LOVE!! I picked this bowl of goodness and ate them throughout the day- the majority were eaten before dinner.
Very similar ingredients as lunch only I added some grated carrots and almond accents. The avocado is speckled with course sea salt and pepper.
And, don’t worry, I didn’t give up on cereal today. I ended up having some Honey Kix as a snack this evening.. out of a coffee cup. 
This post is quick and to the point because I am off to bed. zzzzz.
I LOVE how you say how gross it is to eat at your desk…and then you say you eat at your desk. LOVE IT!
I just licked my keyboard. Mmmm…germy.

I eat at my desk everyday, sometimes two or three times per day. Thankfully, the desk does get cleaned once per week. Maybe I should bring some of those wipes in anyway. I also wipe down my phone ever so often otherwise, my chin area breaks out pretty bad.
I know I said it yesterday but I really do love your new theme. It is so fresh and fun!

I eat at my desk MULTIPLE times per day. Kinda sad, but I try to make up for it with good habits – I disinfect my keyboard, mouse and phone every other day and try to make sure I get out for a half hour walk after lunch. Not ideal, but then again, neither is a desk job.
So jealous of your strawberry patch access!

I frequently eat at my desk and I’m sure it’s a germ nightmare. But it’s convenient and I doubt it will kill me anytime soon.

I always eat at my desk, and I’m okay with it. I think we all try to be too antiseptic anyways – we need to get out, play in the dirt and stop being germaphobes! That’s how you build natural resistance. Otherwise, we just end up with resistant straings of bacteria.
