Am I cheating?

Okay. I have had almonds a few times now in a few days. I made a vegetable broth out of potatoes, onions, garlic, celery and carrots. It's a bit sweet from the carrots so I added salt. I could not resist the tender warm potatoes. I had to take a bite, and another and another. I needed to chew and swirl solids around in my mouth and the salt and pepper make it oh so yummy. Does this constitute cheating? I should be back on track tomorrow. I think a bit of solids that are natural should be okay. It's my fast and cleanse after all. I'm not trying to win a medal. The fact that I've been doing this already for 12 days is pretty darn good. I should try to figure out how much money I've spent so far doing this. I think less than $100 for almost half a month. That's fair. I have enough food for another week right now. I forgot to buy carrots.
