- Plan ahead for meals. Work can be tough for me to eat at in both time and quality of food. Packing ahead and having backup plan for missed meal times is good
- Zone Perfect bars are in my desk just in case. They are not 'low carb', but will be better than missing a meal
- Make ahead for meals is also key. Making for a day or 2 does help, although we seems to eat a lot of chicken around here...I like chicken and it is easy and cheap to make as well as fast and tasty
- Water, water, water. No kidding on the "You may go 2x 3x per hour" while low carbing it up..I think I urinate more then I can ever remember in my life
- Peas are a starchy veg...I knew about corn, but not the peas. I will be eating a lot of broccoli and normandy mix in the coming days I think
- Set a timer. This has helped a ton early on. I have a 3 hour timer on my phone I start when I have finished my meal to keep my pace for the next. In fact, it beeped while I was typing the point above.
Today I am not going to get too caught up in food. I will go whole hog on water, but I had cinnamon powder doughnuts for breakfast and it was yummy if a bit heavy. Cannot believe how fast I seem to be changing on food.
Happy eating - updates later

***LATER***
Went to the mall to get my wife eye exam. This coincided with the kids being hungry. This led to me buying them Taco Bell and getting food for me even though I really was not hungry or supposed to eat. This is a temptation I need to watch for this next week. I had Nachos Bellgrande and a soft taco without lettuce that was not eating by Matt.
Also I had about 10-12 oz of Baja Blast. I love that soda but know its bad for me. I also missed a meal late afternoon due to other commitments around the house. I did get it in, but 2 hours late. I pushed my last meal until about 10:45p, which is late indeed.
Better luck next time, I need to make my own luck in future
