--some red pepper hummus with some sliced tomato. some more salad: mixed greens with dried cranberries, walnuts, and apples; also another one with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and 2 small pieces of smoked salmon.

Gym: 25 minutes on the elliptical trainer; Daily show.

Psyllium: Oh yes I did. About 1 tsp. mixed with apple juice. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I ate lots of greens today, but it's really hard to feel full without protein. I decided to have a little bit of smoked salmon and it was really good. The hummus also helped, but it was very hard to eat it without the delicious pieces of grilled bread and pita it was served with. My friend also had a box of cookies from an Italian bakery, but I did not partake.

For once in my life, self control was the victor here. I really want a cupcake.
