Everyday Systems

I've been extremely busy and haven't checked-in for a while.

Thanks for the encouragement, Mimi! I do indeed want sanity in this arena of life, that's the most important thing.

Okay: One Failure, on Monday the 8th, my 22nd day. I ate a snack late at night, cheese and some trail mix which included ...

Thanks, Mimi.

My weight this morning was up 3 pounds - in other words, net gain of 1 pound in the 3 weeks.

Not what I want.

If the excesses continue on the weekends, I may put some limits around my S-days. I'll see.

I have had years and years of craziness around food... I realize that it may ...

21 days on plan as of today!!

Not much happening with weightloss yet... I was down 2 pounds on Friday but I don't yet know what the weekend S-days will do.

I recognize that I'm still settling in - new routines, new paradigm.

So lovely to relax on the weekends, and to eat whatever non-sweet ...

Another successful week.

I notice my plates were very full at my 3rd meal on Thursday & Friday... Old habit of eating a lot in the evening. As Reinhard says, I can see the excess.

My weight was down 2 pounds on Friday. Have to see what it looks like after the S-days this weekend.

I think it's ...

Tuesday & Wednesday, both successful No-S days.

Feels easy...

I'm also doing well with my goal of working out at Curves at least 4 times per week.

I love how I feel when I work out early, before my teaching day. It seems to help me feel good both physically and mentally throughout the day... But ...

Successful No-S day today. With ease.

For my first meal, I filled up my plate... Soup, salad, fruit... then I realized that I didn't want to eat it all. I ate just the soup and fruit, felt satisfied, and was fine until my next meal.

For the first time, I wanted to stop eating before the plate was ...

These two S-days were less crazy than last weekend, but still it feels too extreme. I ate many times each day, only one or two mealtimes and the rest a lot of snacking... Some sugar yesterday, none today...

It's only been 2 weeks, still early days. And I am very aware that I don't like feeling over ...

Successful No-S day today.

Feeling a little trepidation about the weekend, my 2nd weekend on this way of eating... I need to learn more about "Don't be an idiot!"

Successful No-S day today.

Pretty easy.

Thought about a particular sweet... and just reminded myself that I can have it (without any guilt!) in two days. Very cool.

That is so much saner than "Never again!"

Thanks, Renee. I appreciate the encouragement.

Having three S-days in a row at the end of my first week was not great. Too much time without any of the new structure, and I was back into my old ways... Felt like a relief to get back to No-S yesterday.

I overdid the snacking at night on both Sunday ...

Okay, I'll give this a try.

I started No-S last week, & had five successful N days, Monday through Friday. A good start.

I'm never hungry in the morning, just want green tea (with jasmine)... so I've been having my first meal at noon, and then two other meals about 4 and 9 p.m.

I used to eat ...
