Day 7

Breakfast: Usual protein drink this time with papayas, parsley, and frozen banana

Lunch: Leftover Tomato soup with vegan sour cream and newly fried tortilla crisps

Dinner: Salad of Arugula, pineapple, avocado, thinly sliced mini bell peppers (extra good taste), toasted walnuts and dressing: splash of blood orange olive oil and chardonnay vinegar, salt, pepper. Followed by almond cheese and nut-thins as a snack.

Yayyy, I finally lost 2 lbs. (This is Day 8 morning) which is heartening since I had actually gained 2 lbs. on a vegan diet!!!!! Aaarrrrggghhhhhh!!!

The bad news is that I am still sick with a head cold. This is so ironic and half convinces me that all that bad (my bad wasn't actually very bad) was keeping me going. Or maybe it is delayed detox or maybe I just got sneezed on once too often. In any case, I am still working because obviously counselors do not have PTO and being self-employed, every hour counts.

Alas. I am otherwise doing well. Thanks for reading this. Please sign up as a follower so I know who you are and feel free to ask me questions K
