Day 1 on IP

~Day 1~

So, today is day #1 on IP and so far I suppose it's not too bad, last night I went shopping. Bought my olive oil (2 different kinds, one has garlic in it the other is Extra Virgin). I bought a variety of veggies and a new vitamin/ pill organizer to keep track of the vitamins.

When I got home I got busy cooking up my chicken breasts, Jacob helped me rip up my lettuce for salad and I cut all my veggies. I feel like I am well prepared to do well at this diet - now to just follow the plan!!

So this morning I thought it would be a good idea to make the vanilla drink and add it to my coffee (since I usually have vanilla creamer with my coffee). But I soon realized that I only had vanilla pudding so I thought the cappuccino one might be the same. On my way to work I realized I had forgotten my shaker!! I was soo excited to use my new shaker too and almost opted to start tomorrow instead of today and just buy my lunch today. But no .. I stayed strong and figured out a way to still make my shakes without my fancy new ball shaker.

When I got to work I made the cappuccino drink, tried some ... it was good, frothy and tasted like coffee. I added some to my coffee and tried that ... bad idea! Note to self - do not mix cappuccino mix with coffee! It wasn't horrible but it would have been better by itself. I think I will stick to tea since I only need a little Splenda in that.

So far today I had some cucumbers with my salt, they were good. And now I am getting hungry again. All morning I was worried that if I ate my lunch too early that I would be starving later so I keep watching the clock to see when a appropriate lunch time would be. I think now would be good, I "feel" hungry. I have 2 cups of mixed veggies and about 2 cups of lettuce. My only decision now is to add my veggies to the lettuce for a huge salad eat them separately. I also have another shake (chocolate) that I think I will save for later in the afternoon. When I packed my lunch last night I was soo worried that I would be starving all day but honestly it's not too bad ... yet! :)
