It Gets More Challenging

I start back working in a hospital setting tomorrow. The last time I worked in the hosptial, I was newly diagnosed with diabetes. I was not eating healthy - well, I was eating healthy-ish. I was still drinking coffee and diet soda, and would occasionally eat something less than optimal Now I am almost 2 months into whole food, plant based diet, with no oil (or a tiny amount rarely). I am eating completly different now - gone are the sparse days of atkins low carb. Now I eat healthy all day, and often. I don't drink coffee, or tea. Easy enough to do at home. Much more interesting at work. I've packed the snacks in my lunch bag, and written down the carb count so I can dose appropriately. I've counted out my portions. I have a note left out so I don't forget the cold items. Long gone are the days of tossing random stuff in a bag. It is all planned. If I fail to plan, I plan to fail. I've come too far, with too much success, to fall into bad habits. I won't have a lot of time to eat, so I have several quick snacks, along with a healthy lunch. Of course, I have my hospital dedicated water cup to drink water. All day. My new lifestyle continues in a new setting. It is a little more challenging, but I'm up to it!!
