In addition to starting the diet today, I decided to go cold turkey on eliminating all soda consumption, including diet soda.  Diet soda is actually allowed on TNT, but I figured what the heck….why not just go ahead and shock the ever living heck out of my body all at once and “can” the diet sodas too (we had a good run Diet Coke….see ya ’round).

I stayed on plan today.  No sodas, no carbs.  I was fine during the morning hours, but then developed quite a headache in the early afternoon.  Typically, that would’ve been the point I’d have grabbed a Diet Coke.  Instead, I grabbed a couple of aspirin and a lot of water.  My headache finally subsided later in the day, but then during the evening hours I was literally craving something with carbs….I was watching some cake baking contest on The Food Network, and there weren’t many things that sounded better than a piece of chocolate cake at that moment.  Obviously mistake #1 there was watching a cake baking contest while starting a low carb diet – nothing in the world like a little self inflicted pain.  The good news is I didn’t cave….I grabbed some water and eventually some cheese and pepperoni to snack on (both within the guidelines of TNT).  I tried to pretend the cheese was actually chocolate cake – I can tell you that visual did NOT work.

Day 1 is down….can’t wait for Day 2 tomorrow!!!
