Phase 1 - Day 1

I have three children, ages 5, 3, and 1. I have spent the last 6.5 years either pregnant or nursing (with a 2 mth break between child 1and2). I will be turning 30 in just a couple months (Easter Day if you're interested) and have decided in the words of Oprah that "This is The Year". This is the year to spend more time focusing on getting myself healthy and reclaiming my body. Join me on the journey, let's see where it takes us!

Yesterday, I started Day 1 of Phase 1 -- This is my first time being able to fully do Phase 1, last time I reduced my carb intake I was still nursing my baby. I am happy to say that Day 1 was a success. It was not 100% carb free, I did have a couple pieces of the kids cereal at snack time but I was satisfied with my success.

I'm going to be monitoring my progress with a phenomenal tool called DietPower. I used DietPower a couple of times before, it really does give you the information you need to reach your goal! It can be used while pregnant/nursing and in conjunction with many different eating styles, including South Beach.

So, the result of day 1 was that I was FULL. I had a salad with tuna for lunch. Beef Roast and a salad for dinner. Some deviled eggs for a snack because Dietpower showed me I hadn't had enough calories yet. I only had a cheesestick for breakfast, because I forgot when the kids were eating so that's an area to work on -- Breakfast is really important. I snacked on some nuts, celery w cream cheese, and cheesesticks. All in all, I was really full at the end of the day which surprised me.

So, off we go to day two!
