It was homemade chickpeas (crock pot!) and some cooked veggies along with my second breakfast banana.
Eat to Live is supposed to be "no eating between meals" and I am just not into that idea yet. I am a snacker. I'm especially a snacker when I don't get a substantial breakfast! On days when I eat a bowl of oats for breakfast, I am not as hungry the rest of the day.
Things to note:
1) I ate three bananas today.
2) In total, this is about 1100 calories, which yes I know seems like not enough. But I'm seriously stuffed. This is a LOT of food!
I am about to go do some cardio on the Nordic Track, and I may get hungry again after that. If I do, I will eat my ounce of almonds and will then be safely above the 1200 mark. :-)

Nice, healthy day, you are doing fantastic. The cucumber and tomato snack sounds interesting.
Looks very healthy! You definitely got a ton of veggies in, that's for sure!
Leah, I'm sorry to hear about your dog! I haven't been as up to date with the blog as I should be, so I didn't know.
I.am.concerned.
This program seems like a very strict diet. And it doesn't sound like you're getting enough calories a day, particularly when you're working out.
I know you want to lose the weight (heck, so do I), but I think you've seen that slow, sustainable losses are easier to maintain than radical diets with big losses.
However, I don't know everything and maybe you stumbled upon a system that works for you. Good luck and keep us updated.
Thanks for the concern, Katie! I had a lovely slow and steady loss of 74 or so pounds, and have since gained a LOT of it back... so for me that was not sustainable. I'm looking for something drastic so that I can let go of my junk food obsession once and for all! I do think that this will work for me, at least for a while. I don't think any one program will work for me FOREVER, unfortunately.
