First, work is going well.  I'm completely over my first day funk and very happy to have made the move.  People have been friendly.  I'm already getting involved in projects and definitely feel that I have things to offer on some issues that we're working on.  All in all, feeling very good about the decision

Even though I've been sick most of the time since I started the new meal plan last week, I've had a bit more energy in the afternoons/evenings. It might be the mucinex, but the nutritional idea is to eat small meals more often. So I have oatmeal with protein powder or a protein shake for breakfast at 7:30, then I eat a small portion of last night's leftovers for lunch at 12:30, a sugar free protein bar around 4:30/5:00 on my way home (this is to combat The Candy Monster and it's starting to work), then dinner around 7/8pm, then a protein snack that's light on sugar around bedtime at 10:30/11pm.

I like the protein bars the nutritionist recommended, they're called Think Thin and I got them at Trader Joe's. They're all combos of chocolate and/or peanut butter, so I might get tired of them eventually, but I like the chewy consistency.

I have heard that B12 or B complex vitamins can help with energy too. I forgot to ask the nutritionist about it, but when I find out, I'll let you know what she says.
