NOTE: I woke up today and I wasn't very hungry at all. Some days are like that and I don't believe in any hard and fast rules about eating just because it's that particular time of day to do so. Too many people fall into a routine that they MUST eat something between 8:00-9:00AM everyday because that's the time designated for the first meal of the day. But if I don't feel like eating breakfast, then why do it? And so I didn't today.

When the nudging in my stomach started indicating my need to eat, then I decided to have some lunch. I was running around all morning running errands at the farmer's market where I picked up some grass-fed ground beef, the Christian bookstore to get some DVDs and books, Sam's Club for some stuff for the house, and other activities to keep me occupied. When you're running around like a chicken with its head cut off, you're not thinking about food too much either. Staying busy and getting into your routine can take your mind off of food until your body starts SCREAMING it needs nourishment. Thankfully I don't get to that point too often since I stay quite satiated with the fat and protein I consume on my healthy low-carb lifestyle.

For supper tonight I had a LOT of hamburger meat. Perhaps I was a little more hungry than I realized when I started eating, but I ate over a pound of meat--LOVED IT! There's nothing more fulfilling, delicious and nutritious than a well-cooked (medium is my favorite!) slice of meat with some bacon, cheese, and other fixins to make it PERFECT! It was a great way to end my day of livin' la vida low-carb!
