Oh me, oh my -- broccoli!

For breakfast I had 1/4 of a canteloupe and a tall glass of water.  It doesn't sound like much, I know, but my stomach is still really small and that's enough to fill me up.

For lunch, Todd took us to Logans, his restaurant.  I had some green juice that I had made this morning, a handful of peanuts (peanuts at Logans are like tortilla chips at a mexican joint) a few bites of Carly's broccoli, a grilled vegetable kabob (a few pices of mushroom, onion, tomato, and zucchini basted in Italian dressing) and a salad of romaine, tomato, craisins, chopped walnuts and balsamic dressing.  I ate very slowly and didn't start to feel full until the very end.  The food was exquisite -- especially the broccoli.  Plain, steamed broccoli.  My taste buds are very sensitive since the juice fast, and vegetables taste sooooo good to me when I'm hungry.  I did get hungry before lunch but amazingly, it didn't cause me to panic.  I knew we were going to Logans and I knew I would enjoy the food more if I were hungry.

Todd ate a steak, both girls had macaroni and cheese and white rolls with butter, and those things didn't even tempt me!  I really, really enjoyed the mostly-vegetable lunch I had, and now I feel full and satisfied.  And happy. 

For dinner tonight, I plan on eating some cherry tomatoes, steamed corn, and some fruit.  Oh, I also made some pineapple juice that I can have at dinner time.
