Day 1 
So it begins.
My day was crazy, but I felt good and focused. I ended up working through my lunch, so I munched my fruit, and I was able to present at my second meeting of the day (sheesh). I was hungry, but it wasn't the end of the world. That's a new sensation for me.
After that meeting, I rode the bike home, and got caught in a sleet storm. Brr, brr, brr! It's amazing how long 3 miles can seem when you're freezing.
Dinner was this excellent black bean soup that Cheesepuppet had mentioned and a big salad of gritty lettuce and a bunch of veg. I used a little dressing from the American Vegetarian Cookbook, which is all about oil. I'm told that at some point, my taste buds will adjust and lettuce without dressing will taste sweet and good. We're not there yet.
So, one day down... 41 to go!

I don't know how you're doing it. After my kinesiology final tonight I bought an organic frozen pizza. :) I was starved and I wanted a "treat".

Heya... I'm glad to read you're doing this!
The lettuce really is a pain in the ass. I think you really have to ease into it, since it's the most tedious part of the plan. The "pound of raw veggies" goal is just something to work towards, and even if you do just half that, it makes a difference.
You might want to try using seasoned rice vinegar on the salads. It's nice and light and it helps you get used to lettuce without dressing.
Anyway, good luck with this!
