Today I made lentil soup and there’s a reason why.  The lentil soup holds me to my goal to pursue better nutrition.  I can make up tons of little tupperware containers of soup and take them to work with me with a banana and a handful of almonds.  Because bad things happen when I don’t take my lunch.
