First day of your period?

I'm just curious since I've been tracking.. Would you count the first day of your period the first day you bleed or when you really have your period? For example, I spot like brown/bright red blood a day before I get my period then the next day is my actual period. Would I count the spotting as my first day? Sorry if this makes no sense! Thanks!!
