Starting the year off right

Well, I started my fast yesterday.  All things considered, I did alright.  For lunch I made a chickpea and rice vegetable soup, which was awesome and I would definitely make again.  I have tons of leftovers, so I will likely be enjoying it more this week.  Some friends invited us out to dinner at Chili's last night, so I made it a point to do my research before we went.  Turns out Chili's has a vegetarian/vegan friendly menu that I went off of and ended up ordering fajitas without any meat and corn tortillas instead of flour.  Honestly, I really enjoyed that, too, and would probably eat it again.

Anyway, after dinner Jason ordered a chocolate molten lava cake, and I ended up having a few bites of that.  So yes, I did cheat a little, but not very much, and overall I'm happy with how my first day of fasting went.

The fast is pretty restrictive, but I want to make sure that I'm still eating what my body needs.  I think that today I'll start tracking on WW just to be sure.

Anyway, for breakfast today I had some Bear Nature cereal with coconut milk.  It wasn't awful, but it wasn't great either.  I ended up cutting up a banana and eating it with the cereal and it made it taste a lot better.

Of course, I have a sinus infection so my taste is all thrown off, so for all I know this stuff is really awful and I just can't tell, haha.
