I will stay tuned. Thanks for checking in on me Kate! Always good to have support.

I plan on having 5 mini meals, not 6. I have 2 meds I take that have to be taken at the same time every day and one of them can't be combined with any other food, meds, or supplements. I take my BC first thing with my breakfast along with my other supplements. Then, 3 hours later I take my synthroid medicine. That allows me to eat my next meal at 11:30a. My traditional 3 meals will be a little bigger followed by 2 snacks. It's not ideal but I gotta work with what I have. It's still going to be hard to get 5 in. Old habits die hard but I'm going to change just like everything else.

I will be upping my carbs. I haven't been to anal about counting them lately but I have added complex carbohydrates to each meal according to the Schwarzbein Principle. Been trying to get about 15-25 carbs per meal. I will aim for around 90-100 carbs a day. I'm sure I'll find the level I need to be at again.

I'm still trying to figure out protein. Is it 1 gram for every pound of weight?

I'm ready! I didn't think about Vicki starting too. I'm so excited.
