Just blogging to keep up the habit. Don't want to start missing blogging and then suddenly weeks go by with no posts. Trying to blog every few days. I'm currently drinking one protein shake for breakfast and then 2 low-carb meals (0 carbs other than veggies) for lunch and dinner. Today I had a chicken ceasar salad. YUM! Dinner will be left over steak bites and some sauteed cabbage. Already entered into FitDay. Under 1200 calories and only 16 carbs (5 in protein shake). Making my portions smaller in prepping for my 7 day liquid pre-op diet. Still a couple of weeks away, but definitely confident I can do this.

I go on vacation October 1st through October 7th. I may not have access to internet. If I do though, I will try to blog while I am gone. I can easily follow my diet on vacation. I can stock up on ready to drink protein shakes and keep them in a little fridge in my hotel and pack a cooler with ice packs. I have lots of food I can prepare and bring with me on the road. I have done "low-carb" so many times I can pretty much do it blind folded now. However - this time is different, because I know I am eating this way in order to make my surgery successful. After surgery it will become a way of life permanently, but for now, it is simply something I have to do in order to progress my journey.

Really, really ready for vacation.
