Day 12.

I spectacularly abandoned my diet today! But, I'm sick and had a special beer event to attend, so what else was I supposed to do? I still haven't had any real cookies, and I consider that a small miracle.

--1 small orange, 1/2 c tofu pudding
--greek lemon-rice soup! (white rice = verboten!)
--a little chicken tagine, sans carbs
--a fair amount of beer (verboten!)
--a little bit of cheese
--a few forkfuls of lentils/rice/tabouli (pretty sure it was made with white rice, so verboten, once again)

I didn't feel too bad and honestly, it was still a pretty limited amount of carbs, all things considered.

I had a pretty sour stomach going into the beer thing, so I didn't drink as much as I might have. I also kept a very slow pace (because of my stomach but also because I still felt like ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag) and I miraculously managed to not get drunk.
