Set a lunch alarm for 12:30 this week because I kept realizing around 3pm that I hadn’t eaten anything since coffee.
Monday and Tuesday I actually stopped when it went off. Wednesday I was on a client call and just muted it, ended up eating cereal standing at the counter around 4. Thursday and Friday I was back on track, though Thursday’s “lunch” was a granola bar (I’m counting it anyway).
So 4 out of 7 days, more or less. Not a full week, but more than I expected going in, honestly.
The weird part is I don’t even skip it on purpose. I get into whatever I’m working on, and the next time I look up it’s mid-afternoon and my stomach’s doing that hollow thing. Wednesday my mom also had an appointment that took up most of the morning, so that day was never going to work out anyway.
Keeping the alarm going into next week. Might move it up to noon instead of 12:30, see if that leaves more room before something else eats the day.
