I’m on a  new “plan” courtesy of my friend, Jimmy Moore, who took a look at my typical diet and made some suggestions for improvement.  Hopefully one of the improvements will be WEIGHT LOSS!!!
I didn’t have much trouble skipping breakfast this morning with the iced coffee (I have not been a coffee drinker long and find the effects of the caffeine work on controlling appetite).  The late afternoon I was watching the clock waiting for dinner time.  So I caved to the cookie and was content. 
My concern is that tomorrow, when I’m up at 5:00 AM and at work by 7:00 AM and have to put in 5 hours of work before eating that it’ll be a different story.  All I can do is plan to do the best I can and if I’m starving and cannot think straight, I’ll have to eat.  We’ll see how it goes.  But for today, the 18 hour fast was moderately successful.  I have to figure out how to define success – will I feel guilty if I have 3 meals instead of two if my carb count is good?  It’s all a big experiment at this point, which I’ll have to analyze as we go!
