Week 1, Day 3

The good news is that the hunger wasn't as bad today.  I'm guessing it's because breakfast consisted of two pieces of toast with peanut butter.  That's a lot more filling than an egg white omelette.

I entered my eating yesterday into MyFitnessPal.com and wasn't surprised to find out I'm eating just over 1200 calories a day.  What I *was* surprised to see is that I'm eating approximately equal proportions of carbs and proteins (38% each) and 24% fat.  I thought carbs would be lower and protein higher.  It must be all the fruit.

The bad news is that I did something I knew I shouldn't have - I got on the scale today.  Not as good as I would have hoped - 140.  I am really hoping to lose a few pounds this week.  Another 5 days to go ...

It's now the end of the evening and today was much better than yesterday.  Advil kept the headaches away, I only had one can of Diet Coke (yay!) and I actually *forgot* to eat my afternoon snack!  My time frames got kind of messed up today so I ate breakfast at 9, snack (apple) around 12, and then lunch around 3.  Supper was at 6:30.  It actually worked out quite well, but it won't work once the fall starts.

Oh, supper tonight was the first yucky recipe I've tried.  I won't be making it again and will be throwing out the leftovers.  It was a vegetable and beef stew - emphasis on the vegetable.  But it just didn't work (who likes broccoli in their stew??).  Thankfully I have choices with each meal, so I won't have to eat it again.  

I'm much less hungry tonight and was able to concentrate better today.  I think I might be over the first hurdle!  I am getting very excited for my first consult on Saturday morning.

No workout today - hopefully tomorrow.
