Day 1 of Liver Shrinking Diet

So this is what I ate today on my first day of my liver shrinking diet

Breakfast 
2 scrambled eggs
1 cup raspberries

I was supposed to eat 6 oz Greek lite yogurt, but I was too full so I saved my yogurt for lunch. My girls ate the same breakfast as me, which was good so I didn't have to prepare a different meal for them. 

Lunch 
6 oz Greek lite yogurt
6 oz protein shake
1 1/2 cups of carrots with 1 tsp. light vinaigrette & Mrs. Dash
Liquid Mulit-Vitamin
Chewable Calcium

The protein shake was disgusting mixed with water. I have to figure out a way to take protein with out gagging myself. I was totally full at this meal as well, but I am starting to crave carbs. My liquid multi-vitamin is totally gross by itself, in the past I have been mixing it with OJ, but I can't add the extra calories to my diet, so I just had to take the vitamin and I am looking for another alternative to this as well. The calcium tablets just taste like a Tums, so they are tolerable. We went to park lunch today and I just ate when we got home. 

Dinner
3 oz. Chicken with mustard
1/2 cup grilled zucchini
1/2 cup carrots with light vinaigrette
1 cup of mashed cauliflower

I fixed a meal that fit within my liver shrinking diet for my family. I just added rice to their plates. The chicken and mashed cauliflower were okay, but my family HATES zucchini, it doesn't matter how I prepare zucchini, they HATE it.

After dinner was the toughest time for me. I was really craving a mid-night snack loaded full of carbs, bread, cookies, chips, anything. So, I just decided to drink a glass of water and go to bed early. I only managed about 64 oz. of water yesterday, I need to get better at that. It is really hard to manage getting enough water and eating dry meals.

I didn't make it to the gym today. This is going to be a BIG challenge for me. There is just so much for me to do at home. AAHHHHHHHH!
