Beginning with a Struggle

So today is day one of my plan. I can not say that it didn't start off with a struggle. I got up this morning and my first instinct is to pick up a bowl of cereal and start munching. It took me a moment of me looking in the fridge for the milk for me to realize that at the moment I'm supposed to be on a strict diet.
For the next two weeks the "Do Not Eat" list is pretty large:
1. Margarine
2. Sugar
3. Oils or Fats (except Flaxseed Oil)
4. Grains, Bread, and Cereal
5. Starchy Veggies like Potatoes
6. All Dairy
This is definitely going to be a challenge for me. Eating sweets has never been a huge desire for me but all the sudden it's like because I know that eating them is a sin, I want it even more. Even now I have the temptation to lunge over at the brownie bites that my mom's boyfriend keeps near the computer... Don't worry though, I will restrain myself  and wait to eat till my next meal time... haha.
As for exercise I've already done my set ups and "girly" push ups (I have to work myself up to being able to do them regularly again), Billy Blanks 30 minute workout, and I plan on taking a long walk later in the day. Overall, I think it's been a great start. We'll see how I hold out for these next two weeks :)
