Knitting socks instead of eating

One again I am on a diet. This time I'm trying the "Every Other Day Diet" by Krista Varady, which entails fasting every other day (well eating only 500 calories on the fasting days). So far I've lost over 20 lbs (yay me), but I have almost fifty more to go and I've hit a plateau so I've decided to do a food journal/ sock pictorial to keep track of my progress and sock knitting (yeah I know, I'm weird).

 So far today I've eaten the following:

 Breakfast 

  • Steel cut oats (3/4 cup cooked) 
  • handful of raisins and walnuts (didn't measure but was truly a handful I promise) 
  • tsp of flaxseed banana 
  •  3 cups of black coffee


Lunch

  • PBJ on homemade white bread toasted (thin slices but next time I will make whole wheat) 
  • Bowl of black bean soup from Costco (300 calories) 


 Dinner (not there yet but this is what I plan on having)

  • Amy's pesto 
  •  carrots
  •  grapefruit 


 Guess I should also log my exercise while I am at it. Today after my teeth cleaning I'm going to take the dog for a 1.7 mile walk (nothing major but something anyway)

 Socks in the spotlight: 
Currently making toe up socks (magic loop, afterthought heel, 64 sts)I am using Deborah Norville Serenity Sock Weight yarn. I love how this yarn guides on and off my bamboo circulars, however, I didn't realize that it was handwash only until after I bought it. So I'm not too sure how much I will wear them. Still I love how the yarn is striping. The colorway is called surf (this is from the company Web site. I will post a pic of my socks when they are done.)
