First day. How am I doing?

I'm wanting to lose about 10 pounds. Have decided to do p1 for 4 days just to get a kick start, then progress to p2. Would like for someone to look at what I've got going on today to see if I'm on target:

B: Breakfast quiche (recipe found on this site)
1 c. skim milk
small can V8 (I had to warm it up 'cause it tasted nasty cold. Also added a splash of skim milk. Wasn't bad that way.)

S: Cheese stick

L: Broccoli cheese soup (made with rf cream cheese, 2% evaporated milk, rf cheddar cheese, broccoli and low-sodium chicken broth);
Salad (lettuce, peppers, tomato, mushrooms w/ homemade sf 1000 island dressing, but the dressing is made with real mayo. Is that okay? I used about 2 tsp.)

S: 15 almonds

D: My plan is to have a grilled pork chop and 2 cups of oven roasted veggies (zucchini, multi-colored sweet peppers, purple onion, mushrooms, drizzled w/ olive oil)

Dessert: almond ricotta cream (From SB book)

And somewhere along the line, I'm going to throw in another cup of milk or plain yogurt.

Question: I just noticed in the Foods to Enjoy list from this site that cream cheese isn't listed. Instead, "cream cheese substitute" is listed. What is that? And did I create a major faux pas by having the rf cream cheese (neufschatel) in my soup?

Am I leaving out anything? Having something I shouldn't? Thanks for taking a look!

Cream cheese is under Condiments - 2 Tbsp. The soup sounds a little overboard cheese-wise, but the rest of the day looks pretty decent.

Great, thanks. I probably didn't have even 2 T. of cream cheese since there's only 8 T. in the whole batch. I'll consume this soup sparingly. It's quite tasty though! And just think, that's reduced from the full-fat version I used to have on the Somercise plan. That one was made with heavy cream. I substituted the evap. milk for the cream. Thanks for your thoughts.
