Summary:

Overall, it was a pretty good start. I would like to cut out even the low-cal/low-sugar snacks and add another round of exercise in the evening, but for day one, I'll take it. I was a hideous monster to be around...no sugar does that to me...so I apologize to anyone who came in contact with me, especially my daughter & husband.
