Day 28 
I think I've turned the corner!
This morning, I walked to work in the mist. It was lovely, and it made me ask myself why I don't do this every day. Probably the fact that it takes 50 minutes. But the walk was energizing, and I felt light like a feather.
I'm having a skinny day today. My facial structure continues to reveal itself: now I can see the indention at my temples, in addition to cheekbones, and my jowls becoming distinctly unjowl-like.
I brought a can of soup but then I decided to go down to the No Fish, Go Fish stand and get some of theirs. Good idea. They had two vegan soups today: a split-pea with roasted cumin that was incredible, and Mexican bean, which was in itself pretty damn good. Then I stopped at the scary salad bar place and picked up some salad, doused it in some balsalmic vinegar, and headed back to the office.
I started to eat my lunch, and my gosh, I enjoyed it. It was so good. Even the salad, which didn't really have enough balsalmic, but it all tasted so good. It didn't feel like this obligation to feed myself: it was a joyful break in my day. Whoa!
I made an Indian-spiced lentil soup (from Vegan Planet) on Saturday that also bowled me away—it was not the lentil soup I've been dreaming about but it was really good, and the two of us knocked it out by Sunday evening.

I've tried two recipes from Vegan Planet and neither of them worked, so I'm glad you found one that did, it inspires me to keep trying.
And speaking of inspiring, this whole journey is just amazing! I'm so proud of you! I hope that doesn't sound dorky, but it's true.
