Yesterday I cheated -- almost. Let's just say, I was in a foul, stressed mood due to external circumstances, and I wanted copious amounts of alcohol and decadent cheesecake--or at least a glass of wine! On my way home from work, I almost stopped someplace. God knows, I had ample opportunities with all the food joints littering the sides of the freeways.
Instead, Jackie and I went swimming, and then to the co-op and another grocery store. We picked up some lentils and she told me how she had made those fabulous lentils to go with our rice (basically onion, a smidge of vegetarian broth powder, and a bay leaf). Okay, so technically they don't get onions and broth and bay leaves in the camps, but considering last night I was so unhappy that I actually skipped my dinner of rice and beans, the lentils are a necessity! Yesterday I subsisted on a tiny square of polenta. Before going to bed, I ate a small tomato. That's it. Not exactly healthy -- I think yesterday ended up being a total of 100 calories. So this morning, I'm dragging. My brain feels like mud and my limbs like mush. I have the lentils simmering on the stove now. Soon, I'll be able to bring my blood glucose level back up to a somewhat salvageable level... in about 25 minutes or so when, hopefully, the lentils finish cooking.
As for my weight, the scale is down 12.5 lbs since we started 2 weeks ago. The first week I dropped a pound a day, and now the scale tells me half a pound a day.
