And now it starts ....

I finally picked up my parcel last night, I opened it as soon as I put it in my car and was quiet excited to get started!! And although the box is half the size as my usual NS shipment it didn't faze me ... until this morning when I was packing my lunch. I'm so used to packing NS size lunches that when I saw what I had put in my lunch bag now I thought there is no way I can do this!!?? My lunch bag was nearly empty! I think I will take pics just to give you an idea, it really was scary!

So this morning I woke up with a headache - not a good way to start a diet but I figure there is no more excuses! I need to start today, stick it out and see results!! So here is what my morning looks like:

Breakfast = 1 shake/pudding (depending on how you make it), 1 starch and 1 fruit

Morning snack = 1 shake/pudding

Lunch = 1 protein bar, 1 shake/ pudding OR 1 soup, 1 fruit

Afternoon snack = 1 shake/pudding

Supper = 5oz lean meat and 2 cups of veggies

Snack = 1 shake/pudding

So needless to say my lunch bag looked VERY empty but it hasn't been too bad so far!? It is almost lunch time and I had 20oz of water so far (probably pee'd just as many times as ounces I've drank!!). The chocolate shake was good and I just finished a Strawberry one, both were good, nothing to write home about. I had a slice of toast this morning for my starch and a apple, to tell you the truth I kinda freaked out a bit when packing my lunch and threw in a yogurt (just in case)!! he he It seemed very strange to not pack any veggies for my lunch? I suppose I could divide my supper veggies and have one cup for lunch, one for dinner? I might have to do a little adjusting to my menu, so far it seems tolerable? I assume I will feel like crap for the first 3 days, like you do when you start most diets and your body is getting used to not eating everything you used to.

My biggest issue today is my headache! If that was gone I would feel much better! Everything irritates me more when I have a headache. Every time I feel like eating I take a drink of water, my goal for this week is to drink half my weight in ounces everyday!! I am also going to try and not have carbs as my veggie, no carrots, peas or corn!
