Day 1- Is this really a diet?

Hey yall! I don't have much time but seriously.

Today was GREAT! I do not feel deprived.  I have energy and I am very happy with my choices today!  It might get harder as the days go on, in fact Im sure it will, but today went well! 

Breakfast was 2 eggs, lite cheese and mushrooms. 

I had coffee and half and half ( I am supposed to use fat free half n half but I needed to use up mine) but barely drank like half of that V8. Nasty.  Too salty.

I had 20 peanuts for a snack.  Dry unsalted. 

I got a lot of activity in today, walking with a friend and push mowing the grass! A tan too! Woo!

Lunch was tuna salad made with mustard and a tbsp. of low fat mayo which I googled and it is supposedly approved on phase one.  Very little sugars or carbs in it so I am sure Im fine.  I also had banana peppers which I am not sure if they are approved but for the small amount I should be ok.  I had pickle and onion in it too.  Everything was so good.  I had it over a bed of shredded cabbage with a side of cottage cheese.

I had sugar free jello for desert. 

 

It was very good!

 

Mid afternoon I got a headache.  I don't know if it was from being in the sun all day, locking myself out of the house, OR perhaps no sugar.  Not sure.  But 3 ibprofiens kicked it's bootay!

 

I had a cheese stick before me and hubs went on a date night.  He has been gone for 3 nights out of town!

 

 

We went to Longhorn -my current fave!  I got an 11 oz sirloin, broccoli and salad with blue cheese.  The dressing should be approved, the blue cheese I buy at home has no carbs or sugars. I forgot and used a bit of A-1 but I think Im ok! :) Also I did not eat any of the bread!! WINNING!!!! 

 

 

I brought some of me and hubbys steak home and will have it with eggs in the morning. 

Desert was a no sugar added fudge pop for 40 calories! I wanted another one but that would have put me over 75 cals for sugar free stuff. 

 

It was so tasty! 

 

I forgot I had to take a new prenatal vitamin and I wasn't sure if it would make me sick on an empty stomach, (not too empty with steak and fudge pops!) but to be safe I ate a desert from the South Beach Diet book. 

 

Its called the vanilla cream ricotta or something? Its half a cup ricotta cheese with 1/4 tsp vanilla and sugar free sweetner.  It was pretty good!

 

 

How Am I Feeling: Except for the small headache this afternoon I have felt great.  This doesn't even really feel like a diet yet.  Im sure it will though, when others are having things off limits to me.  The bread looked good tonight but I was in the right mindset! Im also writing down scripture in my planner so that will help strengthen my mind.  Its a mind game too! I LOVE that I really don't have to measure anything or count calories.  You have to watch your sugar free intake and your nut intake.  I am measuring my half and half just while its not fat free.  I was not stuffed at dinner from eating so much bread.  I feel great right now honestly.  I am looking forward to my steak and eggs in the morning!  I will see yall tomorrow!  :)
