Day one: harder than expected

Weight: 209.4
Today was much harder than expected despite the boost I got from a colleague, the Rev. Dr. Dave, who supplied me with a bag of hearty green beans. These were great for lunch, especially after my dandelion breakfast, but still, it left me with some pangs. I know that this is the same feeling one experiences with fasting but I thought it would be easier on this first day than it has been. In the afternoon, I dove into some boiled and un-sweetened blackberries. They were much better than I expected, being without added sugar. Unfortunately, I ate a half-pint mason jar up by the end of the work day.

I have lemon mint bushes in my front and back yards and I realize I'll be using these quite often, for tea, salad, and garnish.

Note that I'm making sure to take fish oil and a multivitamin each day for safety. Note also that this image includes a harvest of two species of Puget Sound crab that were eaten before I began my experiment. It is no longer the season for crabbing, but when you start whining that I'm cheating about this or that, one could, conceivably live off the land by exploiting female and undersized crabs off shore. Keep that in mind in case the end of the world is neigh.
