First day in Daniel diet

I'm not a very good person at keeping on any schedule for very long. I like spontaneity a lot! My husband went on the Daniel fast a few months ago and did really well. Of course he did, cause everyone knows men loose weight quicker than women. Well somehow, I found myself agreeing to start the diet with him today. We decided to start last night. (: if there's one way I can sideswipe my poor diet history, it's to suddenly sneak into beginning a diet. 
First thing I usually get in the morning is caffeine. I woke up and headed into the kitchen, fully aware I could no longer have coke (not even diet ) or coffee or even tea. I decided on flavored water with caffeine. I opened it up and as I took my first swallow my husband says, what are u drinking? I say, flavored water! He says you aren't supposed to have it cause of the artificial flavors! WhAt?!?!?! Confession: I drank that bottle of water and it was SO GOOD! 
I stopped on the way into town and got me a bottle of unsweetened 100%juice and a bag of cashews. I was proud I stuck to the plan! 
In town I got 2 bags of sunflower seeds and more 100%juice. I stopped at mcDonalds for a salad. I chose the southwest and got my chicken on the side (I'm not including meat and supplement with beans and other proteins along with vitamins). I got the Italian dressing because I didn't know if the southwest dressing was milk based or not and the cashier had no idea. I came home and shared the salad with Doug (seriously) and I am full for the moment! We shall see how long I can last this time!!! Pray for me!
