Walking the Walk - Day 5

Day 5: The fatigue has passed! I feel good. Like, really good. I can (now) see how this might be addicting. I feel light, possibly because I've lost three pounds already. I can feel my abs shrinking, my legs look more toned. I haven't lost my head, though. I know that the weight loss is mostly water loss, likely to be put right back on once I start eating normally again.

But I do feel good, happy, lots of energy. It's kind of surreal, actually. According to Mayo Clinic, this isn't unusual. Restricting calories, they say, can actually lead to a feeling of psychological well-being. Which is weird, because I always thought happiness was a giant bowl of hummus and chips.
