Day 1 Complete-My final Thoughts

Success! I made it through my first day of my new eating plan. All in all, it went way better than I expected. I managed to stay under my daily calorie goal of 1600 calories and I can honestly say that I was not hungry. Looking at the list below, it doesn't appear that I ate very much, and in reality, it wasn't a large quantity of food. The trick here was that I did not let myself get hungry. I ate my meals and snacks when they were scheduled and it kept my hunger at bay. Looking back, If I could do anything different, I would eat more fruits and vegetables. I get full faster and stay full longer when I eat them. My problem today was that I did not go grocery shopping until late in the day and therefore did not have a lot of fresh food on hand. Tomorrow I am going to discuss my workout plan. (Today I did not exercise). More about that tomorrow. Here is the final count for today(you will have to click on the title of this blog to be able to see the calorie totals if they do not show up below:
