Hmmm Second try at making this post..
4 weeks in and I am finding that I have been able to reduce my daily calorie intake without feeling deprived in any way. I started out making a daily intake 'limit' of 2200 calories. I then lowered it to 1800, then again to 1500, now to 1300 and I am able to eat below that level with out being hungry (except for the days when my meeting schedule is such that I don't get to break for 'lunch' until 2 or 3pm).
I am aware I should be eating closer to the 1300 mark but for now I will let it ride as is since I am feeling good. I will find out tomorrow if this has had any impact on the scale. but if not no big deal, I feel better now than I have in a long while and that is what matters to me at this point.
BTW... Chick-fil-a 12 piece grilled chicken 'nuggets' FTW if you are pressing for time and need so fast high protein yumminess.
