Phase 1 w/ alternatives
B: vanilla drink blended with cold coffee and ice cubes
L: salad of romaine, 1 C spring mix, 1/2 C cucumber, 1/2 C yellow bell pepper, WF Balsamic dressing
S: Quest bar (cookie dough - love! I am so glad that I only bought one. I don't think I could handle having a whole box in the house!)
D: 8 oz pan seared cod, 1 C cauliflower, 1 C asparagus, olive oil
S: chocolate drink made with cold decaf coffee
Good luck with the move - that's always stressful! The last time we moved I took a large plastic container, marked it "do not lose or pack - box goes in car" and put all the essential stuff I thought might get packed where I couldn't find it. Stuff like the coffee maker, coffee, cups, can opener, vitamins. Then made sure it went in the car with me. I suspect you will do the same with all your IP stuff - can you imagine getting to the new place and tearing through boxes trying to find it???
Thanks so much - it will take us a week because my DH is on kidney dialysis and we have to stop for at least one treatment along the way. Also we have a pre-teen and dog!! But it will be fun. I am making sure to label everything very carefully and even color coding a few plastic bins!!

You could try phoning the restaurant ahead of time to see what there is, maybe some roasted veggies or a salad plate? Just so you don't watch everybody eating and they don't wonder what's up with your empty plate. lol Those of us with allergies or celiac disease get used to phoning the restaurants ahead and finding out/suggesting alternatives It just takes a bit of getting used to.
Remember, what you are doing is important for your health and you should be able to take a bit of control over that without others feeling resentful (as long as your requests are reasonable). Maybe too late if you are already at work, but worth a try and definitely for next time. Just eat your protein when you get home if you need to.

The restaurant is Earls, actually, so they post their nutritional information online, so I know what I can and can't have. But the issue is the format of the outing: usually a bunch of appetizers are preselected, and those are the options. If chicken wings are ordered, I might eat one of those to appease those around me. I could also potentially replace my restricted for the day with one taco (200 cals, 9 net carbs, 15 protein -- similar to my strawberry wafers yesterday). I'll have to see what the options are and go from there.
