Starting back to work next week



Recommended Posts

So I start back to work next week and will be starting on regular foods as well. This actually scares me. I know I need to plan my lunch/snacks the night before but what do I pack? Any help/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Sliced meat (eg chicken lunch eat), boiled egg, mixed raw nuts, grapes, Babybel cheeses, Mason jar salads with sugar-free / fat-free dressing and if desperately running out the door late, a Protein Bar. (not all in the same lunch heheh)

My first weeks I took ricotta bake (google Eggface's ricotta bake) or pureed black Beans with cheese. I also made some pureed egg salad. I keep 1/2 cup mason jars of pureed black beans in my freezer. Worse comes to worst, I can always grab one out of the freezer, put 10g of cheese in a ziploc, then heat it in the microwave.

I also took one serving of Protein Powder for the afternoons - usually Syntrax nectar's Roadside Lemonade or fuzzy navel.

And if you take your Vitamins throughout the day, then put the ones you'll need during the day next to where you keep your lunch sack.

I meal prep a lot. so ill do baked chicken breast, or if I'm lazy get a big rotisserie chicken from sam's or make turkey meatloaf for Protein. we always have sliced turkey and ham in the fridge, then I grab various veggies and stuff, yogurt, sugar free Jello or pudding, beef Jerky for Snacks.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
