It was actually pretty easy. The protein powder and flax oil give it pretty good staying power. I was so stuffed from the night before that I didn't even feel like eating. Also, I'm uber busy at work these days which keeps me focused on things besides food. Today is the first Friday of Lent. I'm thinking of doing another one today - at least until dinner time. I've lost 2.7 of the 5 lbs I gained on Tuesday. I'll be thrilled to get to Monday with no net gain for the week.
