Headache normal, and food journal

Hi all, today is day one on phase one for me. So far I have to say it hasn't been bad at all except I have had a headache all day. Is this normal? How long will it last?

Next, I wanted to share my food journal and see what you all thought about it..how I could improve it..

Firstly,

Breakfast..half a cup of ricotta cheese, sprinkling of splendia and vanill extract...a cup of coffee with a little skim milk

Lunch...(after my am workout)...cheese omelet(made with one whole egg and four egg whites, sprinkled with shreaded low fat parmasan/cheddar cheese)..half a can of diet pepsi, a quarter cup of sliced cucumbers with vinegar on them.

Dinner...2+ cups of romaine lettuce, approx. 2oz of feta cheese, and maybe four tbsp of greek drsg(0.9gram carb per serving), 1.5 piece of a pork loin chop bbq'd with montreal steak spice on it.

Snack tonight..riccotta cheese with splendia planned

So far the cravings have been minimal, headache all day, and a bit of the runs this evening, maybe due to all the cheese/eggs(not sure).

So what do ya think? I kept busy all day, got in my hour+ workout at the gym, cleaned the whole house and now doing wash. Maybe all the work has kept my mind off things.lol ;0) Suzanne

Thanks for the information. I'm glad to hear the headache will subside shortly. Wow, that sure is alot of veggies..is that so that you decrease the calories per day? I would guess if you ate all those veggies you wouldn't eat as much of the meat etc..on your plate. I'm a little concerned with eating so many so quick..I have IBS and often try and stear away from too many as it gives me diarrhea. The salad in itself triggers attacks, but I eat it because I enjoy it so much. it's good to know about the cheese, I will monitor how much I eat of it. Thanks so much for your help.. I am so excited about this plan, I'm hoping it will break this long plateau I have been at for months. For me it's all about food intake..because I workout five to six times a week for at least an hour or more so I know activity is not the issue here. I love the exercise now, and have to work on the eating in order to reach my goals. Suzanne
