1st day of Cycle 2

Today I begin cycle 2. It's conflicting...I'm happy I can eat some new foods, but then it's "scary" as well. I do feel very in control these days, so that is good. I don't want to lose that. For that reason I continue to be very strict and I don't cheat when it comes to sweets or carbs. Below is my plan for today. I put this into "myfitnesspal.com" and it's ~1200 calories:

Pre-Breakfast: Warm water with Lemon
Breakfast: 1/2 cup (dry) Quaker old fashioned oatmeal with Blueberries
Snack: Yogurt with sliced almonds
Lunch: 2 Eggs with Brown rice
Dinner: Chicken taco salad (Chicken, tomato, onions, salsa,...)
Snack: Yogurt with sliced almonds

This is about 1197 calories. This should be good...I try to keep under 1200. I think I may not lose weight quick enough because several days I was probably under 1,000. It's weird how pre-diet you eat way over calories...then you try to be so good that you're under calories, it's tough to get that balance right.

I also have cardiosculpt today. So it's one of the days where I really need the calories. These hard core workouts also skew things with the calories...making the calories too low. But it's working, slowly but surely! This is the most weight I've lost in so many years...
