Today was interesting. My first day working from home (thanks COVID-19) and I didn’t eat lunch until about 3:00p. Well, by this point I was HUNGRY and got some Kung Pao Chicken from Pei Wei.

There is one close to work that I eat at a fair amount of time. I eat an original (vs. small) and usually a spring roll. Today I left off the spring roll because of my focus.

However, old habits and waiting too long to eat led to me eat the entire entree. I wasn’t paying close attention to feeling full. There is about 1300 calories in that dish – easily two meals. Focus is key. Listening to the body is critical.

Eating that type of meal at that time of the day meant that I was not super hungry into the evening. I did have a slice of bacon and an apple. Working from home also changed my blood test habit as well. I forgot and ate the bacon and then did the test. Because of the bacon and possibly the large meal in the middle of the afternoon when I did the test it was sky high.

This is most certainly a journey that needs a fair amount of attention.
