Pre-Op Diet Day #1

I keep an excel spreadsheet of my food journal. It’s more organized and it helps me with the math. Although today is my 5th day I will post each day for you guys to see what I have been doing.

Thoughts for the Day:
Today is going well. I feel motivated. I feel like the hardest part of this diet is going to be getting the right amount of water. I usually don’t drink water and this is a huge change for me. Breakfast was easy and I didn’t have any issues. Around lunch time I got hungry and had some soup, it wasn't very much and I got really hungry about an hour later. I ate some grits and I think that helped satiate the hunger some. I walked on my treadmill for 30 minutes. I burned 185 calories. Usually the evenings is when I eat the most so it was difficult. I was hungry most of the afternoon and tried several different things but nothing really seemed to stop the hungry feeling. I usually stay up late but I'm afraid if I do that I will want to eat again so I'm going to bed early instead. It's probably better anyway because I usually don't get enough sleep. Overall I'm proud of myself. I met all my goals for the day and didn't cheat.
