This is definately a learning experience. I packed a bag of food to take to work with me but still found I was very hungry. I noticed that I didn't have any protein until lunch. That was part of it. I made sure to include hard boiled eggs and cheese in my bag for today.

I think it is also a mind game. I am in the habit of eating all the time, whatever I wanted so now that I being more controlled I feel deprived, maybe my brain reads that as hunger.

I drank tons of water yesterday but still always felt thirsty. Probably just another adjustment that my body is going through. However I did bring a big container of ice tea to make drinking all that liquid more enjoyable.

I exercised for 20 minutes in the morning and took a 10 minute in the afteroon. Baby steps, but at least I am moving. It is okay to take it slow!

Everyday I learn something new, soon this will become my new (healthy) habit!
