Well, I woke up at 5:30am, and worked straight through from 6:15-8pm. Clients, teaching group fitness, and cooking for 4 hours for a private client = lots of time on my feet and the need for food. Also, more caffeine than usual, as you may see.  You'll notice this "diet" is nothing like a diet in that you are not counting calories, portions, points, or anything else you can quantify. You eat to fuel your body and its activities. This extra long and extra busy day required more, so I gave it more. Never did I feel ravenously hungry or stuffed-to-the-brim full. I listened to my body and gave it what it needed - what a novel idea!
