It was a bad week at work, which led to a lot of emotional overeating. Hopefully this week will be better.

Back to a normal work and home schedule. I know that I've been eating more real food (and more junk food) than normal, but it seems to me that I was able to make more reasonable food decisions on hacker school soylent. I'm looking forward to seeing what a couple of "normal" weeks will bring.

Because I wasn't going to be able to keep my soylent chilled, I did not include milk in my second serving. I definitely think that adding milk makes it more filling. (I did drink 12 fl oz of milk with dinner--just not mixed in with the soylent.)

Including 12 fl oz of nonfat milk in my lunch serving of soylent may make it last much, much longer. I brought home about 400mL at the end of the work day and just drank that when I felt "snacky" after work.

Dinner seems to be a particularly hard time for me to keep eating/soylenting well. It would be worth coming up with a good plan to deal with food temptations after work.
