I'm sure you'll figure out a system that works for you. I find pre-logging my meals really helpful. On nights before I need to go in to work, I actually pre-log the night before and get everything prepped for easy packing in the morning.

Yes, when I make lunch in advance to take to work I usually go ahead and log it when I pack it. Also, if I save leftovers from dinner to eat for dinner or lunch the next day I log it then so I'll know the size. I sometimes then kick it forward a time or two until I eat it, but since it's there and weighed it's easy to log.

I do sometimes do lunch or evening workouts, but I know they are much more likely to get pushed aside by other commitments or timing issues that come up, so for me getting into more of a morning workout schedule has been really handy. This is why weekends are easier for me too--because going to workout at 6 or 6:30 (or for you, 5:30, wow) is much harder than, say, doing it at 9:30 am, like I did this morning.

Hello and thank you for inviting me to join your group. I will be your junior warrior and live vicariously through all your epic battles. I saw this on Facebook this morning:

Warriors are not born and they are not made.......Warriors create themselves through trial and error, pain and suffering, and their ability to conquer their own faults.............
