The Starch Solution: Day 2

I am trying to reset my body clock to go to bed much earlier and getting up earlier so I'll be ready when school starts. I went to bed early last night. Therefore, it was a little difficult for me to fall asleep. I felt torn between sleep and going for a walk because I had energy to burn. I stayed in bed.
I woke up this morning with a very sore neck. I wonder if I slept funny once I finally did fall asleep or if the neck pain is related to my spinal stenosis in my C7 area and if the change in my diet over the past few days has anything to do with it. I did, after all, eat a lot of junk food over the weekend before I finished McDougall's book and started the 7-Day Challenge to go with the starch solution.
Despite my neck pain, I felt a tinge lighter so I had to check the scale. Down 1.6 lbs from yesterday. Sweet!
I went on my walk/run this morning. My joints felt a little stiff. Again, I wonder if it is due to the diet changes or how I slept or maybe it's because I had my first longer workout yesterday morning than I've had in almost 2 weeks.
Last night, while I couldn't sleep, I went ahead and punched in all of the food I ate yesterday into MyFitnessPal, just to see what it amounted to. I know I'm not supposed to concern myself with counting calories on this plan, but I just felt like it. I couldn't believe how satisfied I felt with only consuming 1619 calories (1200 net calories). And, I ate, what felt like, a lot.

My energy levels have been pretty steady as well. With this starch diet, I was half expecting to have peaks and valleys with my energy levels, but I haven't experienced that yet. I am also thrilled to not have so much anxiety about what to eat and when. This still seems to be simple. :)
