Updates: today will be my first day home alone
I have not craved a smoke, at all. Kind of funny...they tried to Rx me chantix which I declined. I told my cardiologist, "If a heart attack at 34 isn`t a strong enough wake up call to change my ways, then I dont know what is." It`s not like I was a freight train anyways.
I`ve lost 10 lbs since the first er clinic visit which started this journey.
To be honest, the adjustment period really hasn`t sunk in yet.
The worst part of the entire situation is I don`t think I can work for at least another week and I`m not getting paid at my day job currently.
My charity backpack raffle just sold out (woot woot!) and I probably can`t honor that detail until August or so, but I have no doubt the winner will understand.
The hardest part is the diet. Definitely.
The best part has been the support from my fellow Autopians, honestly.

I`ve been cooking my own meals for over 2 years.
I do not eat fast food. Haven`t in quite some time.
When I started working from home I joined blue apron for over a year and stopped the service a few months ago. Made myself a little cookbook out of those meals but they`re not exactly heart healthy.
Diet is low sodium, low carb.
Mostly chicken, fish and steak-maybe once a week.
Went to HEB yesterday, got lots of fruits, greens, veggies and chicken. Also some mahi.

Sodium is the devil! I`ve been cutting back myself for a while (as for me it has caused bladder/frequent going issues, ugh) and I`m amazed at how much salt is in pre-packaged stuff. Even the "heart healthy" labeled stuff is a joke! Previously being on the road and being in hotels without a kitchenette we had to go out to eat, and everything in restaurants are loaded with salt. Looking at the labels at the grocery store will certainly become the norm. After a while if you try and eat something salty it will taste horrible. I`ve lost 20-25lbs just cutting back the junk! Keep at it Brandt!
About the only thing I miss about living in Houston, is HEB. If you are buying salmon, make sure it`s wild caught. Atlantic salmon is farm raised, and feed gmo corn. Not to mention gmo salmon itself. Mussels are easy to cook, and can be used in a verity of ways.
512Detail- Glad you`re making such good progress already!
I`m confident that you`ll find healthful food that you like, just might take a bit of experimenting.
