I've sorta fallen off the official keeping track thing. I am sticking to No-S about 95% of the time. I've been trying to eat better food, although I confess french fries, pastries and potato chips have figured recently.

good news though. I weighed myself yesterday, and I'm down two more pounds in ...

ceu

ok, so tuesday was an unqualified failure . It started off ok, but when I went out for thai food, I had a LARGE soup (like a two person soup) and these veggie rice rolls. Then, I went home and had one of the stuffed chicken wings I'd brought home for my mom, which then lead to eating two bran fibre ...

ceu

I eat pretty full plates as I find that I am hungry if I don't. I make sure to include food with lots of fibre, whole wheat pasta instead of white, for example. This really helps.

ceu

Hey there Ms. How goes it? I was up in Portland at Easter so a lot closer than I am normally to where you live. I loved it, gorgeous, gorgeous city.

ceu

I just got back from a week or so, visiting with my fiance in Portland and LA. I'd say I stuck to No S about 70% of the time. Unfortunately I ate a bunch of fried stuff, and my clothes feel snug again. Meh. I'm too scared to weigh myself.

On a positive note, I didn't binge binge like I used to ...

ceu

day 4 success.

ceu

For me, I find it coming slowly off, but more importantly, it's not piling on.

Good job on the 6 pounds.

ceu

awesome job.

ceu

I've been noticing I see less results when my plate is a plate of food prepared by a restaurant: hidden fat and sugar mostly I think.

I've been sorta sliding of late myself. Don't worry about the short term. It's long term results we're hoping for. *hug*

ceu

thank you for the support. :)

I started birth control pills on Friday, and I've noticed MAJOR water retention. Meh. I'm feeling bloated.

In other news, I've noticed I'm no longer ravenously hungry all the time. My appetite has diminished considerably since I started No-S. I'm also noticing I'm ...

ceu

day 17: I'd be fudging if I called it a success, my dinner would have been pretty piled on a plate.

ceu

Thanks

Day 16: success

er also day 15.

ceu

day 13 and 14 success

ceu

lunch sounds delicious.

ceu

day 12: success

ceu

I've got a bunch of decaf tea and I splurged on decaf specialty coffee beans, for those evenings when I feel like I'm gonna be bad.

ceu

Yesterday I went for an hour and half walk, over routes I don't normally take. It was a gorgeous spring like day, and the first where I did not have to wear a jacket, but a sweatshirt sufficed. There is definitely something special about your first Spring walk of the year. *sighs happily*

ceu

Happy birthday (belated!)!

ceu

I've been going through the same sort of anxiety over my Sdays. I went on a serious bender this weekend. I did notice how awful physically I felt, and I suspect that over time I will seek to avoid the feeling of being overfull.

ceu

yay, another Canadian!

Welcome! Winnipegger here.

ceu

well, I think I have to learn to rein my weekends in. I'll get there slowly.

so starts day 12.

ceu

counting the hours til the weekend. Sad, eh?

ceu

spring is indeed setting in around here as well, although yesterday was the rainy/foggy sort of spring day.

Is alien nation the show with mandy patinkin?

ceu

hello and welcome.

ceu

Day 9 was a success .

breakfast: shredded chicken, mixed salad greens, chipotle salsa, black beans, grated low-fat cheddar in a black bean tortilla. glass of milk.

lunch: half a bowl of irish stew with potatoes and carrots. baby carrots and grape tomatoes with low-fat ranch dressing for dip ...

ceu

hello and welcome.

ceu

Oh, and I weighed myself. I lost another pound, so 6 pounds since the beginning of March.

ceu

yesterday was a success. I made a giant pot of irish stew and portioned it out into lunch sized portions. I had some today. It's pretty good, although I dropped half of lunch on the floor (I'm gonna be hungry by dinner :/)

I think I'm starting day 9 today.

ceu

looks good, scott.

you two are inspiring me to devote a regular part of my journal to my health. It's on Suicidegirls.com, so I won't link it here due to nakedness.

ceu

SO COOL!

That made my day. Thank you so much!

ceu

I need to get an ipod. That lecture definitely sounds up my alley as I'm bi.

Welcome!

ceu

good for you on the cookie front.

ceu

oh and in happier news, yesterday was my first successful uninterrupted week of No-S. Yay me!

ceu

yeah bigger lunches seem key with me too.

hey, whatever your weight says, don't worry about it too much. It's a static measure and bound to change in a good way soon. It doesn't account for your daily efforts to change your habits and establish a healthy lifestyle. Go Scott!

ceu

thanks for the good wishes on my engagement.

ceu

congratulations. Way to go on treating yourself the way you deserve to be treated, by quitting smoking and losing weight. Awesome

ceu

go girl!

ceu

Pig and Horse say: Hey dude, at least it was only bread and creamcheese, and not a guinea pig souffle.

yeah. they wanted me to tell you that.

I hear you on the weird patterns. It's just as well the weekends are S days b/c I go like 10 hours without eating, then pig out.

ceu

Trying to teach myself to eat less fried foods but I admit not all my meals would pass by a nutritionist without a raised eyebrow.

I find eating healthier -- whole grains, fibreful food -- tends to keep me fuller longer than a plate of empty calories. Having said that, I am eating french fries ...

ceu

when I used to be a vegetarian I found protein PLUS whole grains was the most satisfying. Good for you on working on your paper.

ceu

sounds yummy. I love dark bread.

ceu

rules are three meals right? I think that's a success.

ceu

have you eaten guinea pig as well? I know they are a south american delicacy.

ceu

focus on getting better. you're on sdays, so don't sweat it.

ceu

I think mondays are just rough in everyway. I don't have anything really constructive to add to the thread. *hide*

ceu

good luck with the interview sweetie.

thanks for all the exercise ideas.

I'd love to see a baby capybara.

ceu

yeah capybara are one of my favourite animals.

So yesterday was a success.

I got some unhappy news this morning. My fiance's dad (who was ill for awhile) passed away at 2 am. I wish I were nearer my fiance to hug him and help him out.

ceu

you ate a capybara?

ceu

Happy Birthday, Richard! Have a wonderful birthday!

ceu

capybara:

ceu

adorable. I love rabbits. Actually I pretty much love the rodent family, particularly guinea pigs and capybara. What's a capybara you ask? It's a giant amazonian rodent, world's largest I think. It looks like a massive guinea pig.

So yesterday was a success. day 6 to be exact.

ceu

thanks for that ms mouse. I will definitely be using it sparingly. For me I find looking at my weight can be offputting. I think I may use it twice a month.

ceu

*poke*

ceu

take it easy on yourself. close friends moving is a major life change for you. I echo Deb's sentiments, very pretty picture.

ceu

Glad to hear about the job and the yoga. I really need to start doing yoga or something like that to relax.

10 years old?

I'll be sure to check back and wish him a happy birthday on Wednesday.

ceu

I love beans. I'm off to buy some black beans tonight actually. They're good protein, iron and fibre. They keep you feeling full and they taste great. Yay for beans!

ceu

awesome!

you're inspiring for my post-work walk.

ceu

Sounds like you had fun during your workout.

I *just* bought a scale last week. I'm going to use it very sparingly. My sister's being trying to encourage me that the scale is necessary, but I'm sorta more stuck on the "I feel better" or "My clothes fit better" barometer.

ceu

Well I was no angel yesterday either. *sigh* Hopefully this week will be better.

ceu

I think it's the belated ides of march, personally.

ceu

oh my goodness, not broccoli slaw!

*tease*

your sday is nothing compared to what I ate yesterday, and it's an S day. You're doing ok. *hug*

ceu

yesterday was a bingey S-day.

Today should be less so.

ceu

Day 2 & 3: success!

ceu

sounds like you two have a great way of motivating each other. I've noticed my fiance and I are having the same effect on each other as well. It makes me happy.

thanks for the congratulations! *hug*

ceu

nice to meet you AND welcome back.

ceu

hi there! I like your idea of weighing in after a 21 day run. I think I'm going to appropriate the idea.

ceu

Yesterday -- Day 1B -- Success and NO funny business. :)

I'm sticking to No-S during the day today, but I will likely deviate tonight as my mom's taking me out for dinner to celebrate my engagement. Is that technically a valid S? I think so. When my friend Daniel takes me out next week for same ...

ceu

I've been trying to work in walking from work to get groceries a few times every week. So far it's been quite nice. I am enjoying two benefits: a) sleeping better from increased exercise b) fresher produce from only buying what I need.

Combining this with my daily walk to and from work and a ...

ceu

great news, Richard.

ceu

welcome!

I've only been on this program for a couple weeks, but I'm astonished at how easy and natural it feels. I think you'll like it.

ceu

details: I love rollercoasters, so he asked me on Space Mountain. *grin* The ride had just started up. I couldn't hear what he was saying. He repeated, I said: Yes, of course I will! He slipped a ring on my finger (which was too big and I was worried would go flying off into space) and said, "It's ...

ceu

you can definitely do it.

ceu

welcome and hello.

ceu

hello there. I'm sorry to hear your friends are moving away. here's to happier news.

ceu

popcorn's acceptable if it fits on a plate, right?

you can do it!

ceu

I'm joining you in a fresh day 1, ms. good luck to both of us.

ceu

awesome news about the marathon. my sister used to run, and it seems it's all about training in increments. good luck!

ceu

hope your little sweetheart's doing better.

thank you for the engagement wishes.

ceu

ps. thanks for the engagement congratulations.

*HUG*

ceu

Might wanna slip a portabello mushroom sandwich in there occasionally. I used to do the veggie patty thingies too, but tried to keep those to not-very-often cuz they have so much salt. *ponders other veggie sandwiches* I ate cheese so I did cheese and tomato sandwiches as well.

ceu

Ok. So my S days went well. Then Monday morning I woke up with food poisoning and spent the day sick and puking. It's going to be a long while before I eat rare steak again. Needless to say it was saltines and jello most of monday.

yesterday I flew back from LA, and it would have been a success ...

ceu

whoah. I'm very glad you didn't get hurt.

ceu

I say your sig other will understand the diet, and in exchange for the understanding, you can have unreasonable dinner with dessert on one of your N days, making it a kind of halfway S day.

Have fun!

Have a nice time with your guy!
Peace and Love,

heehee. Ok so I indulged in whipped cream AND the non-sugar S... er not together at the same time. Hmmmm. I may have to make a trip to the grocery store later. 8)

Good ...

ceu

Evil graham cracker! I swear those things lie in wait.

You're thinking about your eating and generally following a trend to better eating habits. Good work on all your healthy choices this week.

ps. I am getting a lot of cardio workout.

ceu

ok so for an N day on vacation, I did pretty well yesterday.

breakfast: the airport, surprisingly I ate an egg mcmuffin and a large orange. It could have been really unhealthy there.

lunch: sandwich, salad.

supper: two dealcoholized beer; chicken, garlic, onion on foccacia with really greasy ...

ceu

today: success. I ate a large dinner. We ordered it as I'm too busy packing etc for tomorrow morning.

I'm off to LA for 5 days to visit with my sweetie. I'm trying to determine if these are strictly N days, or if I allow myself an extra S. I'll get back to you.

ceu

sounds you got a sound plan of attack. I find cooking dinner at night the hardest time for me to resist popping extra food into my mouth.

ceu

good job.

ceu

that sounds like fun. I enjoy working out with a partner. There's other calorie burning exercises I like doing with my partner as well. *daydreams*

Did I mention I'm flying to LA tomorrow to see my boyfriend?

Good job on the workout.

ceu

Moderate fudging is okay as long as it's not covered in hot fudge!

Good going Ceu!
Peace and Love,
8) Deb

nah, no hot fudge, but my cravings aren't usually sweets. I went for thai food and had a small bowl of green curry soup with rice, BUT I also had two rice rolls. The rice rolls were dipped ...

ceu

good luck.

Remember: avoid the illegal bananas, and... STACK THE LINENS!

ceu

You can do it!

ps. welcome.
