Day 9

Breakfast: Fruit (subbed for miso soup, avocado, and mashed chick peas)

Lunch: Pinto beans and rice with a micro green salad

Dinner: Roasted red pepper and sweet potato bisque with roasted aspargus and almonds

The thought of eating miso soup, avocado, and mashed chick peas for breakfast was kind of disgusting so I opted for fruit instead.  I had a nice big bowl of strawberries, an apple, and an orange.  Lunch was a bit overwhelming today as there was a TON of food.  I ate most of the pinto beans and salad, but very little of the rice.  I have noticed that I am filling up fast, which means my portion sizes are decreasing.  That is probably a good lesson, one I needed a refresher course on.  The roasted red pepper and sweet potato soup was pretty good.  Not my favorite recipe thus far, but maybe something I would make again.  The good news is that the food prep has seemed to decrease a little bit.  Or, maybe I am becoming a better chef!  Still lots of chopping though!

A few people have asked me about caloric intake.  I have not been calculating, but I would guess anywhere between 1000 and 1200 calories.  The calories have definitely decreased as the reset moves on, but I still have rarely felt hungry.  Remember, I am not exercising. 

Today was the first day where I really felt some side effects.  I had a headache all day long and I was freezing.  I just couldn't warm up...at all.  Tea before bed helped, but I still had to wear pants and a long sleeve shirt to bed, which is unusual for me.  The headache just lingered all day and no amount of water was going to take care of it, believe me, I tried.  I am slammed at work so, that helped me get through the headache, but it is still annoying. 

I am craving M&M's and pizza.  Guess some tea will have to do.

Until tomorrow...
