Hello, I lost weight with this diet the first time around, and have been successful at keeping some of the principles. But I am starting to lose ground and lose good habits, so I'm going to post for 21 days, being strict again, to get back on track. Today is the first day.

Day 6 - Diet, FAILURE; Exercise, FAILURE

Oh, dear. But the diet failure was a handful of raisins after dinner. The exercise failure is more troubling. Next week: No failures of exercise or diet.

Ok, I stopped checking in although I didn't stop no-s-ing but I've certainly been slipping a little more. So, I'm going to go back to daily check-ins, with a 21 day goal. Felicitously timed for after the holidays. I'm also going to add shovel glove exercise. I'm less sure that this ...

Oct 23, 24 FAILURES

I was undone on the 23rd by a work lunch at an Ethiopian restaurants that literally had no plates. In retrospect, I should have created some alternate rule, like, no more the 3 pieces of injera, but instead I took a little (a lot) of liscense to cheat. And then extended the ...

I've got to get some breakfast bars or something. The problem (in addition to years of habit) is that I'm always in a hurry to get out the door in the morning and "don't have time" to eat.

Oct. 7 - S DAY

The thing that is so far less-than-psychologically satisfying on S-days, is that I want to snack, for example, just because I can rather than because I want a snack. I'm hoping not to get the two wants confused. So far today:

Lunch - Turkey sandwich. Coffee.

OK, how much fun is the first S-day? I had dinner tonight with someone on the South Beach diet, a very talkative someone, and I learned all about it. It sounds nuts; just not a long term option. My personal rule of thumb for all diets is: Can I see doing this long-term? The answer ...

This is a nice interface, by the way. I am a little embarrassed by checking in, but the more tools the better, probably. Also, I was glad to read the sample check in since didn't cotton to the plate-size issues.
