[met all goals...slightly over on protein]


You have to start somewhere...

I met with my friend, Amy today and I'm feeling very encouraged about starting this process. I was nervous about the amount of meal planning (6 meals!) and having each meal be only ~300 cals, but everything is a process and I know the longer I do this the easier it will become.

At the end of day 1 I feel pretty good. When I realized I had one meal to go and it was 7:30 (no food after 8) I raced around to find something that would round out my day. The result? A whole wheat English muffin and 2 oz of cream cheese. It felt like an unexpected gift. 2 oz of cream cheese is ALOT! It felt decedent and indulgent (given my love of things creamy). Even with that glorious finish I still came in under my fat and carb goals which has to be a good thing. I haven't felt hungry all day (must be all that protein!!!), although I have had quiet a bit of heartburn (protein as well?).

I'm still trying to decided if I want a 'before' pic...I've been avoiding cameras like the plague.

Long and short I felt I was very successful today. It will be very hard not to weigh myself tomorrow but I'm resolved to only weigh myself once a week.

Tomorrow I am going to try to drink more water....I wasn't very good at that today.
