Hello Everyone, I sent Mel this pic a few weeks back...I wanted to show him what I have to do to stay on the protocol on a work day. Well...what I have to do is kind of a lot..but that's because my work schedule is probably more challenging than most...but I wanted to share this because if I can do it...anyone can! First of all...I'm in the car a lot...starting with my commute which is 35 miles each way. That's to get to my office...but I usually only land in my office for a short time and then I'm off to two to four other locations each day. My daily schedule is a moving target. The two to four other locations change daily based on where I'm needed. After work, I have a second job that takes about two hours. After that...it's time to drive the 35 plus miles home...unless I need to do some late errands...grocery store, etc., and then I drive home pretty late. I usually don't get home until 7:30 but sometimes, if I have errands, it's later. It probably sounds worse than it is...I've done my job for many years, so I'm used to it...but getting sick sure upped the stress level and the prep level for each day as you all know. Exhaustion is something we all have to avoid, so it's super important for me to have a workable system to get everything packed for the day. Here's how I do it: 1. I pack some things that just stay in that big insulated bag. These are things like plastic ware...napkins...straws...salt...pepper...liquid stevia...Mary's Gone Crackers crackers...almond butter...raw almonds...baked chickpeas...pumpkin seeds...and the occasional four to five gram of sugar Kind bar (I have to go easy on these because I tend to want to eat those first and will talk myself into eating all of them if I'm not careful). Also living in the bag are a bottle of silver...a big zip lock with the two bottles of WPS...and a ceramic cup to mix it in...I wrap the cup in a dishtowel and put it in the gallon zip lock with the two bottles of WPS. I also pack up my supplements by meal or time of day in zip locks for the week and throw them in there too. 2. Also in the big insulated bag...whatever I'm going to eat for meals that day. Sometimes I take lunch and dinner because I'll be gone so long. Examples of this are salad...cut up fruit (strawberries, blue berries, black berries and raspberries), soup, or a main dish. This could be meat loaf, vegetables...or...spaghetti (with spelt or rice pasta), or anything else I cooked on the weekend. I pack these things in microwave safe bowls and put blue ice things in the insulated bag to keep them cold. As you can see...it would be SO much easier if I was in one place all day long with a fridge and a microwave. I have both in my office, but I'm not there during lunch every day, so I often have to find a place to heat things up. That's not too hard though...most of the locations I'm in have this...but I just have to plan my time right to get everything done. I do sometimes eat in the car if it's a salad or something I don't have to heat up...and if it's hot weather, I'll sometimes eat things cold instead of heating them up. It sounds kind of tragic...but it's not. It's really kind of nice having a private moment out of the stress of work to just sit quietly in my car and eat and listen to an audible book on my phone. 3. The stuff sitting on the passenger seat is all about the liquids and breakfast. Sometimes it's just easier for me to eat breakfast driving to work since I have a 45-50 minute commute. Breakfast is usually a whey protein shake (that's in the container with the gray lid), some raw almonds, and some blueberries. That's easy enough to eat while driving. I also drink Cistus Incanus tea all day long, and I like it to be really hot. I brew this in a teapot in the morning and then pour it through a strainer into a big four cup Pyrex measuring cup. I add liquid stevia and at least a half cup of unsweetened almond milk which cools it off...so...I put the measuring cup into the microwave and heat the whole thing for two more minutes. After that, I pour it into my big red Buccee Beaver insulated cup piping hot and put the lid on. The big purple insulated cup is for water. I fill it with filtered water and ice cubes I made out of filtered water. I also bring extra tea (not hot...will heat it in a microwave later and add to my red insulated cup for refills) in a Mason jar (pictured) and usually an extra quart sized Mason jar filled with filtered water (not pictured) for refills as well. Sometimes I bring the lemon elixer instead of the tea...usually that's when the weather is hot...but I like the hot tea in the cold weather. Getting out the door in the morning is sometimes a challenge...especially since I have all kinds of work items that have to travel in my car with me as well. However...it's not impossible...and it gets to be routine after a while. I will admit I sometimes fall off my schedule toward the end of the week...especially this time of year because things are very busy and tightly scheduled. That's when I'll get too tired to prepare the meals and then end up going somewhere to get a salad, etc., and that can really get me in trouble! That's my challenge...it starts with a salad from "somewhere" and then can slip into other less protocol friendly foods. Mel gives me the lecture about it...and he's right...so every week, I vow to stay on track. Most of the time I do...but there are some weeks that have veered off into Bad Food Land, and Oops! I forgot to take my supplements for that meal, etc. land...and I always deeply regret it. That's why many say it's hard to work and get well. It is...but it is definitely possible...and I'm so much better. I know in my heart if I would stay on the protocol 100% for the next 90 days I could say goodbye to this awful disease...I'm that close...so again...I'm going to dig in and make myself do what I'm supposed to do EVERY day...and not give in to exhaustion and make poor choices on those hard days. Please feel free to encourage me to do this...I need all the moral support I can get this time of year. I hope this has helped anyone who reads it. Like I said...if I can do it, anyone can because of my weird schedule...long work hours and daily commute. I think it would be fun for others to jump in on this thread and add tips on how they manage their work day with the protocol too. That way we can all learn from each other! Love, Karen | ||||||

Hi Everyone... This is a P.S. to the original post in this thread. At the time I wrote this, I didn't know about the keto diet...so...I had items in my bag like "Mary's Gone Crackers" and dried chick peas. I no longer eat these because of the carbs. Love, Karen | ||||||
