Everyday Systems

I have been on NoS since the beginning of April and as of this morning I was going to give up. I've gained 3 lbs. since starting NoS, I've had a few red days, and fairly reasonable S days, I've been cooking healthier meals and my husband has been doing his best when I tell him I want Starbucks to ...

I have been fairly successfully No-Sing for about 3 months on vanilla no S. I've tried very hard not to over complicate things, I've kicked my Starbucks habit since it's summer time and yet I've only lost 1 lb. I've been exercising a little bit more everyday, I started with 10 minutes and am adding ...

I have a question for the crowd, lately I've come to love fruit smoothies, the ones made with only juice and fruit, not the ones with ice cream. Most I've used them as a replacement breakfast but yesterday it just sounded way too good between breakfast and lunch. I'm trying to figure out if it ...

"Starvation Mode" comes into play when your body has lacked the nutrients for a period of time that it feels that if it loses too much more fat/muscle mass then it will need to start to feed on its vital elements. As a result, if you are consuming calories, your body will convert those calories ...

Here is my 21 days on habit update.

Weight lost: 2.2 lbs.
Inches lost: 1" waist, 2" ribs (mostly backfat), 1 1/2" hips, 1/2" thighs
Total Inches lost: 5" in 21 days

Whoo Hoo!!!!

Just wanted to share that No S can be successful and not everything has to be done at one time. I'm down to having ...

Tomorrow will be 21 days on habit for me and I think it's time I share some of the things that I've learned over the last 3 weeks.

1. I have had 3 supposedly RED days. Two of them were in the first week, where I had a snack between breakfast and lunch. On those days I realized that I was eating ...

veggie pizza, apples with peanut butter and carrots. I'm still not very good at the vegetarian thing, I'm still learning what to buy at the store so I can have enough protein to keep me from being extremely hungry at my next meal (aka the peanut butter with dinner).

I think I've decided what I'm going to try. I took today off so I feel no need for Starbucks or coffee really. I do know that tomorrow I will feel the need to stop by Starbucks to not fall asleep on my way to work (and maybe hold on to a little more patience with my high school students).
I'm going ...

Until I became a teacher I hadn't had any type of caffeine product in more than a year. I know I'll be fine in the summer when I rediscover sleep, but until then I've tried skipping a day here or there and have nearly fallen asleep on the road.

I've dropped from a grande white chocolate mocha to a ...

I started no-s-ing almost 2 weeks ago, I've done very well (with 1 day where I slipped up in the first week), I've had no problem not having seconds, I've started listening to my stomach when it's full. I've banned my scale for the first three weeks, knowing that I will look at the scale, not see ...
