Broke my fast today.
I had a delicious plate of steamed brocoli, cauliflower, red peppers (you would not BELIEVE how sweet a red pepper tastes after not eating for 8 days) and a wee bit of brown rice.

I feel really good. I've certainly lost some weight, although I never weigh myself so I don't know how much. My face is thinner, my stomach flatter, and my ribs are very apparent.. though the rest of me is still plump-ish, albeit smaller. I'm sure most of it is lost water weight, which will re-appear expediently. For the next week I will be eating only vegetables, fruit, brown rice, avocados and chickpeas. Organic chicken will soon follow.

Bacon, my darling bacon, I'll be seeing you sometime in the future, but not yet...

Yesterday I took my blood pressure at one of those little kiosks in the Shoppers Drug Mart, wondering what it would be after not eating for a week. It was 98 over 60, and my heart rate was 55 beats a minute. (after walking!) That's, like, a dead person.
