I think my body is beginning to adjust to the whole notion of not eating anything until dinner. I never did eat breakfast except on rare occasion over the weekend, but I typically ate lunch everyday. Tuesday my stomach howled at me in hunger during work, and yesterday it growled a noticeable amount. Today, however, I made it through the day without any real distress. Granted, I was very busy at work today so the day went by remarkably quick. Still, when I was walking to the PATH with Kate I even commented to her that I was surprised my body wasn’t more hungry, and that I could probably even go a few more hours without eating; and I did.
By the time I got home and cooked up some rice and began eating it was actually about 2 1/2 hours since I got out of work (sucks having a long commute). We made 2 cups of rice tonight because Carin said she was hungrier than yesterday and would eat more, although I think we both ended up eating more. I feel much fuller than yesterday at this same time, but nowhere near bloated. Tonight I carried out the recommendation of David and Marc to crack open an egg over a freshly cooked steaming pot of rice and stir it up, and I must say it was pretty delicious.
