Day 3 - Work and such...

Not much to report today.

I did as planned and brought snacks and a good lunch with me to work, and I even had half my lunch left over! This kept me from wandering to the food court or the coffee shop, tho after a long boring day I did give in around 5:30 when a co-worker offered to bring back Starbucks. I don't think a medium iced mocha is going to kill me.

Note: While my liquid dessert of protein mix and banana etc was indeed a fantastic idea and kept me from wanting sweets last night, it also gave me a burst of energy that kept me awake till 3:30 am. Probably better done as a breakfast thing!!

Tonight we (my fiance and I) had dinner at a friend's house. He cooked potatoes and chicken/steak kebabs on the grill. While I probably could have eaten a little less, I didn't totally overdo it and the food was fantastic! Mmm... love me some marinated meat! Nom nom nom.

Just another side note... I started taking Ginko in the morning before work (just the pill kind you can get at the grocery store) and I have found that it gives me enough energy that I don't crash and crave caffeine as much. It also seems to be giving me better mental clarity and focus as my attitude and work performance has greatly improved!

I'm gonna wait a few more days to do an official weigh-in and see if I've made some progress. Give my body a little time to get used to this new routine before I jump to any conclusions about what's working or not.

Thanks for reading!
