Day 1

Day one was difficult for me, not because of my food choices or exercise, but because I was extremely fatigued. The root cause of the fatigue lies in the food choices I made days before I began the diet. Knowing I would start October 1st, I indulged in all my favorites from pasta to pizza to chocolate which I knew full well would make me feel sick. Why would one do this to themselves is beyond me, yet I made it seem 'a sensible decision' in my mind developing excuse after excuse. Well no more excuses! Here is what I accomplished Oct 1. I made the salad from scratch, so am not sure of the true number of carbs I consumed. If any of you believe it was more than 20, please let me know so I can modify my meal plan the next time I plan on making a dinner salad
