Day 2 and 3

Day 2: I cheated. All veg day. Walked halfway to college and morning energy was pretty high. Around lunchtime, I started to feel weak, and the salad I bought for lunch didnt really help. Classes were awful because I discovered I didn't have the energy to boss around 150 students for an hour. I got so lethargic around 4:00 pm that I thought my low BP was acting up again, so had it checked and it was pretty normal for me. Still feeling weak so I cheated and made myself a little veg soup. Stomach felt super full. Besides that, stuck faithfully to the regimen . My bladder runneth over!

Day 3: Started the day with green tea and watermelon. Had the first period and I felt like schlumping into a chair and letting the students run wild. Somehow summoned the energy to talk manically for about 45 minutes and exited the classroom early, on the pretext of giving my "very attentive kids" a reward. Lani,my co-worker who's pretty awesome in most areas is awful when it comes to being a diet buddy. She either laughs upon seeing me gnawing on a raw carrot, or she'll feel sorry for me and suggest I cheat a little. I'm very susceptible to people feeling sad for me, so I succumbed and cheated and had a little soup and later, half a pakora. If you've cheated once, its a little easier to cheat again. Fact.

Despite my little indiscretions, I weighed myself and I found I've lost 3 pounds. That's sliightly over a kilo. Yay.

you're actually allowed to have soup anytime... but not the regular almost-ready-to-eat packets. google the recipe... its basically a clear veg soup
