New way of thinking, new me, BETTER ME.

I made a very big commitment today. I usually start my day with a glass of Pepsi and then consume at least a two liter of Mt Dew throughout the day, if not more. When it comes to food well, I never measured, portioned or counted calories. Today I woke up and new it was my day to make my first big change. I have had nothing except water to drink today! It's 4:30 and I've not touched a drop of anything else. I think I might be getting a caffeine headache, but I'm not giving in. Not this time. I skipped breakfast, I rarely eat it. For lunch I had two chicken slider sandwiches and some fruit. So, I've ingested 460 calories plus 40 more for the miracle whip. I am so proud of myself! I want to get myself in a healthy routine now so that it's habit after surgery.

What apps do you guys use to help with your daily routine? I saw a Drop It, but can't find it in my App Store. Do you use an exercise app? What are your favorites? What ones don't work?

My surgery is in December.

I don't know any app right now but what I did I cut out sweet ,use wheat pasta and for bread also limit your intake on starchy vegetable and do protein drinks like premier protein drinks or do the powder kind and you can add like crush package to it bake your food more then frying food

I am currently using My Fitness Pal. It track calories, nutrients, and macros. Good luck on your journey, those caffeine headaches are gnarly.

That's great that you cut out soda altogether. That is so good for your health. Don't skip breakfast though, that throws your metabolism off and you just wind up super hungry and overeating at the end of the day. For an app I like Lose It, it's similar to My Fitness Pal but I just like it better for whatever reason.
