Everyday Systems

I was trying to be humorous with the GV and Folgers comment....I don't really care what others think about them.

I have recently tried Gevalia french roast, and it is a nice coffee. It stinks when I first open the bag, but the smell doesn't last.

Has anyone else had tried it?

Whosonfirst , I ...

Today was awesome! I am so glad I decided to shift my schedule and my mindset.

This week I decided to start over and try NO S again. I did a horrible job when I first tried it, as you can see from my previous entries.

I was thinking really hard about what my problem was.

3:00 PM

This is the hardest time of day for me. I can go without breakfast easily, but sometime ...

I was super busy and didn't have much time to post the last few days.

I managed to have two successful No S days. I stayed on target with my sleep (except for tonight). Exercise only happened once. I am not upset about it though. My main focus right now is to work on the eating habits. I have ...

Having the same meals is a good tip.

Today was a fail for eating and exercise. I am sure I will get my sleep though. I have been doing well with that.

Thanks everyone for checking in with me!

Some days are definitely better than others.

I think the real hurdle is finding the right amount or types of food to carry me from one meal to the next without strong hunger in between.

Day 10 --Thursday was a special day because I cooked a nice Thanksgiving meal. I enjoyed cheesecake. I was quite stuffed by the end of the day, but I did manage to have 3 distinct meals instead of nibbling all day.


Day 11
No S SUCCESS (I kept telling myself "You can have cheesecake tomorrow ...

They aren't instant. I don't like instant coffee either.

Great Value is a WalMart brand coffee. Folgers is a widely known coffee brand in the US. I don't know if it goes by another name in other countries. People don't put much faith in WalMart's generic products, but I do enjoy their coffee.

I ...

not at all. You really want to make exercise a big part of your life! I think as long as it's not undermining your willpower to eat moderately and get some sleep, then there's no harm in leaving it on Habitcal.


I think you are right. I will leave it there. If I do it I will mark it GREEN and if ...

Do you have a favorite coffee brand and/or flavor? I am still trying to find mine. I can admit that I do enjoy drinking Folgers and Great Value...even though I shouldn't ...LOL

I am still debating the exercise issue. When I went to my HabitCal, I couldn't bring myself to remove it. Does that sound weird?

Hi automatedeating!
Thanks for that tip you posted at my check in.


I love reading. I wish I had more time to do it! When I have a vacation, I read and read and read. My husband can't understand how I can just do that all day. He has set a personal goal to try and read 1 book per month.

Thank you, automatedeating, for that milk tip!!

Day 4

NoS Failed

Exercise Failed

Sleep Success

I am thinking of removing the exercise goal. I don't know if this makes sense, but I don't think I am ready for it yet. Maybe I should just focus on eating and sleeping for now. What do you think ...

Day 3

NoS FAILED I was really and truly hungry between lunch and dinner
I tried to talk myself out of eating, but I gave in.

Exercise FAILED I didn't have the energy to workout. I am thinking of moving this to the morning before work. Once I get home, it is really hard to exercise.

Sleep SUCCESS

I am ready to start. I have read the book and listened to some of the podcasts. I realize the importance of changing habits. Tomorrow will be my first official day. I look forward to learning from everyone here.

My official starting weight is 196 (I am 5'2. This is a really big deal!)
My goal is ...

Hi, I just joined. I am anxious to read more posts by everyone. I really need inspiration, because I am feeling like a total failure right now. Need to lose about 60 pounds just to get to a 25 BMI. It really seems impossible, but I am hoping to find some encouragement here.
