Midway through South Beach Diet....
OK. I cheated on Sunday. Or more so over the weekend. Not a good sign. But determined not to give up in the middle and to see this Phase 1 through to completion.
On Saturday we attended Satya Narayana Puja at a friend's place resulting in a bit of cheating. Had a cup of rice alongside sambhar, vegetables, curd etc. That was not bad. But on Sunday which happened to be Karthigai Deepam hogged on 2 Puris with channa, rice with rasam and cabbage and tomato pulao. And tempted with sweets a friend brought from India ended up eating a badhusha and 2 unniappams made for Karthigai deepam. So a lot of cheating in one day ;-)
Weighing machine shows me at 157 lbs which is good news!

Moong dhal dosa
Unniappam, pori urundai(for karthigai Deepam)
