      I use stevia I don't like the taste of the artificial sweeteners but this one I don't mind and it is supposed to be healthy for you one of the sweeteners out there gives me headaches I for the name of it I have tried them all everyone has different taste buds and different reactions truvia I used to use before and they stated that it was one of the better ones as far as artificial goes

  5. What an insane day... My only day off during the week and all I wanted to do was sleep in, but I decided to stay get up and get the kids off to school and try to stay on my schedule with meals

    FAILURE!!!

    What is it they say about good intentions?  Sheesh... Barely a moment after I shoo my youngest out the door I get a call from my oldest sons school and I need to rush over and complete some important paperwork that he neglected to give me on FRIDAY!... ugh I pull myself together and make myself presentable and I am not even 20 minutes into this paperwork and I am getting drug to a conference room. He's in trouble...which turned into him being in emotional crisis and consumed the next 4-5 hours of my day

      I try to keep little protein snacks at a grab for those days that just aren't normal like string cheese and nuts, I have small containers with measured out cottage cheese I keep some water bottles in the fridge for a grab and go because my water I pick up at the Artesian well and it is in a water cooler I keep plastic forks and spoons for on the o eating if I need and I always have left overs I keep in measured out small containers as well so I can grab and go I have doctors appts that take an hour to drive to so I need to do this or I could end up stopping somewhere not healthy to eat although that is rarely a problem for me because since my surgery I have not had much of an appetite but if I don't do this I will forget to eat and there is not enough time in the day to get all my protein in. Stress will do some weird things to you too as I have found out relax and breath like you said and prepare and you will be fine
