Surprisingly (well, for me, anyway), Day 1 went well. Had a protein shake for breakfast. Having church in the morning helped enormously - drank heaps of water in sips, and ate an apple between classes to stave off the carb desire.
When I got home, I made a protein shake and had a diluted fruit juice for lunch, and again had that lovely full feeling quite soon really.
Hit the sack after lunch, and slept for hours (I've been staying up late), so that took care of the afternoon.
The Litmus test happened this evening. We were invited to some friends' house for dinner at short notice. Ray briefly explained that I was on a limited diet at the moment, and would bring my own stash. He was looking forward to a lamb shank!
I took a tub of sugar-free tropical yoghurt and had an Aussie Bodies coffee drink. Great plan. They fed their faces, while I gently ate my dinner, and enjoyed every mouthful. I did eye off their mashed potato, but otherwise I was fine with it all.
Home now, and having a decaf coffee before bed... a big day tomorrow and Tuesday, so we'll see how well my meal planning will work away from home.
