YOU: On a Diet - and other Oprah inspired diets - Week 1 YOAD food diary

Hi all,
I'm new to this site and this lifestyle change. Today is my first day of following Dr. Oz YOAD. So far so good. I figure it's helpful to me if I record what I eat and I thought it may be of help to others.
B=Cheerios w/skim milk,1/2 cup apple juice, decaf tea
L=Veggie burger on whole grain bread w/lettuce, onion and tomato paste, water
S=Plain yogurt w/berries, 2 water
D=12 almonds 20 min before dinner. Salsa chicken, brown rice, corn and green beans, water
S=1 oz. dark chocolate and 1 orange, tea
Also I did 30 min of walking today.
I found it pretty good today except for now. It's after 10 at night and I'm hungry. It's too late to eat anything. But what can I expect after the Christmas eating. My body is use to more food and more unhealthy choices. Take it one day at a time.
Day 1 down, the rest to go.

Hope you don't mind my title change - let's make this a weekly food diary - we've done this in the past with success.

Here's what I ate today:
B - ww english muffin w/natural peanut butter
S - Breyer's Light yogurt
L - EZ mac with tuna (not a great choice, but I planned poorly!)
S - handfull of walnuts
D - ww pasta lasagna
S - sf/ff pudding, skim milk

Not the best day, but WAY better than it's been in a while. I stopped eating after 8:30 tonight, and it's killing me, but I know that's one of the keys to my success.
