Eating is not as easy as it sounds. I haven't been 100% on plan for the first 2 days. Partially due to lack of access to information (I have my info now) and partially due to lack of planning. I know that this section of the weight loss plan will be more difficult than the fast every was (and maintenance will be even harder). I'm learning how to eat during the next (approximately) 130 days. At least now I can incorporate food into my diet (hooray!) though I still have shakes for at least half of my meals. My calorie count has gone from 800 to 1200. This comes out to about 2 pounds lost a week. This will be a bit slower, but more enjoyable. I can go out to eat, I don't have to act a fool in public with my 'I don't eat' slogan, in other words my eating habits will appear more normal.
My planning isn't totally done yet, but I did amend my OptiHealth Log to help me with more accurate documentation and it's easier to quickly view where I am in my eating for the day. From what I understand the first 1-2 weeks are usually a little off due to the learning curve. My goal for this first week is to not put on any weight. This may be difficult if I don't watch my Na intake...even though logically I'm not interested in water weight, I have become one of those crazy women who are fixated on that number that comes up on the scale so I'm not adding Na to my food. Not really a problem since I've been a super low Na diet for the last 3 months.
Confessional: The first thing I ate: my first Torchy's green chili pork taco. All I can say is that my love of tacos persists. Freaking amazing taco!

I'm so proud of you for making it through, Carlee! We need to start our weekly meal ritual....you can make a nice salad and I can make a soup of some sort...lentil?
Tacos are delish....might I mention Wahoo's? There tacos are fantastic, and the fish is a better option. I ate a cold fish taco yesterday and it was awesome!
