Keto Day 10 - Be Prepared, but...

Back when I had my gallbladder still (8-ish years ago), if I was too busy to eat, I would just not eat. No big deal. Since I have no gallbladder and a constant bile drip that my body never adapted to (my doc said about 1 in 1,000 never adapt), I can't skip meals without getting very ill. 

This morning I was faced with the desire to get to work early, and the reality that I had failed to prepare food last night for today. I ate 2 string cheese sticks right after waking up (I have learned that if I don't put something in soon after rising, I get stomach issues), got ready for work, and left home with hopes of finding luck when I stopped for gas.

It's best to be prepared, but if you find yourself running out the door in the morning for work without having made breakfast or lunch, there are easy and Keto-friendly rescue options out there!

Thank goodness!

The Holiday gas station near my office had packs of cheese and meat sticks, cheese slices with salami to make "cheese sandwiches," and boiled eggs!!!  My total carbs today are good and low at 4 grams (3 grams of those are from my vitamins). My fats are on target, and my protein is only a few grams high.

Mondays are weigh-in days for the Facebook group I joined for support with this Ketogenic WOE (way of eating).  I'm down 5 pounds in 10 days.  My NSV (Non-Scale Victory) is that my jeans can now be put on and taken off without unbuttoning or unzipping them!

I'd like to also add that my mean ol' digestive system continues to work properly again with this new WOE.  That's my biggest NSV ever!
