Hey JustJo. Pineapple! I love those damn things. I think they are probably showing up in the supermarkets in NYC now; I'll keep an eye out. I love how sweet they are, and it's a lot of fiber.

For breakfast this morning, I had a banana, a handful of unsalted almonds, and a piece of whole wheat toast with a sandwich slice of sharp cheddar cheese on it. Now I'm drinking coffee.

Last night I was really proud of myself.

After not being able to find an Italian restaurant that had good salads, we went to a Persian restaurant and I had a grilled veggie kabob and basmati rice. I ate about 3/4ths of a cup of rice, and didn't touch the bread on the table or have dessert.

And I was very, very full. I've noticed that the less I overeat, the more full I feel when I eat sensibly.

Have a great day! (PS, it must be great to live in Florida, fruit-wise!)
