Day 1

Okay. So I binged on Haagen Dazs Rocky Road Ice Cream last night. I needed a last hurrah.. a final dance with sugar. We waltzed until almost the whole pint was gone. It was like saying goodbye to my best friend, my pregnancy, the friendly chubby girl inside me. 9+ months of my life, I didn't have to really worry about weight. Well, more like, for 9+ months of my life, I wasn't allowed to diet. It was a glorious 9 months. I will miss them. Thank you Haagen Dazs, for being there for me on my final night.

That said, my first day on this diet was not so rough- I'm probably still full from the ice cream last night. I now live in fear for what tomorrow brings when my sugar-fat binge wears off. Meh.

Here is what I ate:

Breaky:
2 hard boiled eggs
Grapes
Green Tea

Snack:
0% Plain Greek Yogurt

Lunch:
Pluto's salad with tons of greens and turkey breast
Small serving of balsamic vinegarette

Snack:
Gala apple

Dinner:
Huge lean turkey burger
(no time to cook veggies)

But before bed I was hungry, so I had my second plain yogurt serving- this time with splenda. Not bad!

OH- I also enjoyed a black Peet's coffee at some point in the day. It made me feel like I was eating, so I didn't feel like I was missing anything.
I also noticed that I kept reaching for junky carbs only to realize they were not allowed. It was very sad to be mid reach for a skittle, cracker, etc, and suddenly remember those things were off limits. But also interesting to note, those were just automatic movements, and not because I was hungry. Now I'm wondering how many times I day I did that without realizing it...
