Daily Thoughts 

Just feeling a bit off lately.  Having days with little appetite, then getting under-carbed and eating whatever I have quick access to.  I was desperate at work because I hadn't eaten enough, had no money with, and the only safe option was a plain bagel.  Then I immediately started stuffing my face with the family's evening meal when I got home.

I think I am going to restart 21 days of salt-free, and try to keep the calories consistently up.  I know how to be better prepared for work days.  It takes consistency, juicing oranges the night before if necessary, or asking for more help.
