First Day of LCHF Diet - It's GO time!

I am beginning the LCHF (Keto) diet today. I am already overwhelmed but have found after 2 hours of research a good website thanks to my cousin, Sue, called Diet Doctor. He has two week challenge with easy recipes and shopping lists. I know women usually do not divulge their weight but I want to stay true to myself. I am 5' 6 1/2" and I weigh,  drumroll........151 lbs.

My food intake:
BREAKFAST
2 cups of coffee with half & half- full fat
2 fried eggs in 1/8 tbs of coconut oil and a swirl of olive oil
1 handful shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 avocado

LUNCH-- in the car on the way to the movies
1 broiled, cold chicken breast from Acme- shared with sons-- ate with our fingers
1/4 bag of snow peas just purchased from trader Joe's


DINNER
Salad-broccoli slaw, arugula, brussel sprouts, cucumbers, crumbles blue cheese, vinaigrette dressing
Flank Steak- grilled
Yellow squash & Zucchini with butter and coconut oil, chicken stock, parmesan cheese

SNACKS
Mozzarella crisps with sliced jalapeno -- made in 400 degree oven- YUMMY & filling


MEAL Prep for a few days of lunch: Egg Roll in a Bowl AKA Crack Slaw!


Exercise:
1 hour Pilates class- 360 calories burned (approximate)

Thoughts at the end of the day: Most difficult thing was not having a drink while cooking dinner and easiest thing was just keeping super busy so you don't think about food!
