Day 1...what is?

I am not sure what day do I count as my cycle day 1? Is it when you NEED a tampon? Is it when you have ANYTHING coming? I know it isn't counted when you are just spotting, but I have had this really weird brown stuff (just enough for a liner, and sorry TMI) for the past two days, and I think she is going to finally REALLY show up today. So is TODAY Cycle Day 1?
I am beginning to chart for the first time and since I am not PG this month, I am really excited to get started! Can you help me please understand!

In my opinion, and others can add theirs, I start cycle day 1 as the 1st day I have red flow...like I would need a tampon.
