Hi Want2bhealthy,

I know what you mean. I do like to drink. For me it's largely social, but I do get a day's stress off my back with a nice drink. Let me know how it goes for you. I've cut back, but my weekends are a blur, usually.

So, I haven't checked-in for a few days, so here goes:

Friday ...

Gratefuldeb,

That's not being curmudgeon(y) at all! I know that the drinking with my roomies is a problem. I was good (er, better) last night. I know my waistline will appreciate it. Thanks!

Just in case you are looking for a granola bar that doesn't have any added sugars, or corn syrup, or chocolate chips, I've been buying these, and they taste great and pack a pretty powerful amount of fiber and protein:

Thanks Carolejo,

I do feel better about the pace I am losing weight. Although, at the pace I was drinking beer and eating pizza, I may have packed on more than a pound a week, LOL!

So, Day 2 of my Check-in, for Wednesday, February 1, 2006:

SUCCESS!

Breakfast: Bowl of Kashi cereal, with raisins ...

Thanks David,

I appreciate the kind words. Getting to this many weeks on the No S Diet really wasn't too hard. I was so happy to find a framework diet plan that made this much sense that I was eager and happy to do it, for the first time in many years.

Here's hoping you can stick it out as well ...

LOL! I guess I consider that glass of milk part of dinner. I just make sure to get it in my system the second I get home from the gym. Milk + banana is a fine post-workout meal. My roomie actually scoops in some whey protein with that combo for his post-workout meal. He's not on the NoSDiet though ...

That's tough. As with several posts I've read, the key is when you eat. I don't see how creating a "habit" to eat something healthy post-workout would be a "bad habit". As long as the habit you are forming isn't to eat something between meals.

As for me, I'm lucky in that I hit the gym right after ...

Gratefuldeb67, thank you for your kinds words! I do plan on being a daily fixture here, and you pointed out some great things.

Reinhard is great. I've been telling some friends of mine about NoSDiet.com and Reinhard, and I keep describing him as an outside-the-box thinker, which is pretty funny ...

Alright, enough lurking for me. I stumbled upon the No S Diet whiling scouring discussfitness.com. I actually felt a huge weight lift off of me as I read Reinhard's common-sense approach to dieting. (I just wish it had been real weight that lifted off me!) I've been up-and-down in weight my whole ...
