a little restriction (maybe?)...

Two days ago, I had a smoothie for lunch.  Later, I was surprised to realize that it was time to start cooking dinner.  I had not even thought about food for almost 5 hours!  And, I wasn't terribly hungry.  I ate about 3 oz (cooked) chicken and about 1/4 cup mashed cauliflower for dinner and was quite satisfied.  The scale rewarded me the next morning with 1/2 lb. loss (yes, I'm a daily weigh-er--I like to look for patterns).

I had another smoothie for breakfast (blueberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, flax oil, Greek yogurt, agave nectar) yesterday around 9:15.  It took me a full 30 minutes to finish the 16oz smoothie.  I ate again about 2 hours later--2 oz. cheddar cheese.  That held me until about 4:00 when I had a banana.  I was rewarded, again, with 1/2 lb. loss.

I'm not sure I'm ready to officially claim restriction.  But, I definitely like the way things are going at this point.

Cheers!
