The Starch Solution: Day 3

My neck pain was nearly gone when I woke up this morning. I slept much better last night as well. I did use my back massager before falling asleep. It was GLORIOUS! I was so very grateful for it last night and I think it helped me have a much better day today.
I woke up around the same time as yesterday morning. The weather was extra hot. But, I had a little more in me so I stayed out to walk/jog for an hour and 15 minutes. I also did a relaxing yoga routine after I cooled down a bit. I tried to drink a lot of water today, but I think I still didn't keep up with how much the heat and dry air is sucking me dry out here!
I weighed myself before heading out the door this morning and was down another pound since yesterday morning. Whahoo! I'm curious to see if I'll show any progress tomorrow morning, since the past 2 days I've been playing catch up from where I was before the trip I took last weekend.
I'm loving how satisfied I have been feeling though. I was punching in my calories to report on here again and was shocked (again) to see that I only had 1568 calories, leaving me at 720 net calories. Here is what I ate:

Breakfast:
The usual oatmeal banana berry bowl with flax seed and almond milk.

Lunch:
1/2 avocado spread on 2 slices of toast
1 cup of Quinoa & Brown Rice with Garlic
1 Corn on the Cob (steamed)
1 apple

Snack:
1 serving (38) Veggie Straws

Dinner:
2 bowls of Special K Cereal with Strawberries and Almond Milk

...Something I noticed yesterday that I didn't mention is that I started to break out a little bit. I didn't mention it because I thought it was due to the Noxema I used to wash my face with (I don't usually use Noxema). But, this morning I used my usual face wash and I noticed later today that I had a few more blemishes. Whether or not this is hormone related, I think it is linked to the dietary change. I'm curious to see if this is one of those things that will get worse before it gets better..or if this is just an interesting consequence of eating all starches. I'm really hoping this means that my complexion is just crapping out now because it's purging and changing and that my pores will magically get smaller and my skin tone will magically look younger. Wouldn't that be nice?
