Day 47 Success and exercise

cvmom

I had the privilage of watching my cousin's 12 year old daughter for about a week this summer.

This girl is very thin, but healthy. I observed the way she approached food and I learned a lot.

First of all, this girl eats about 1/2 of what is put in front of her. She is tiny and therefore, her body ...

Day 46 Success and Exercise...a lot of exercise

Hi Deb.

First of all, I want to offer my condolences on the loss of your dad! I'm sorry to hear about that.

Sorry to hear that you've had a tough year too. I hope a wonderful job comes your way soon.

I'm glad to hear your son is doing so well. You are obviously doing a good job in the parenting ...

cvmom

Thanks for the response. Yes, there is so much that sugar probably does to our bodies. I do believe that when I eat sugar then I want more. But, then I get those highs and lows.

I feel like a different person tonight after having three healthy meals today. :D

Oh, and I have eaten sundaes for ...

Day 44 Success (and exercise)

cvmom

Well Folks, I never thought it could happen!

But, Sugar and my body aren't really getting along anymore. Its so weird, because Sugar has been one of my best buddies for years.

Yesterday was a borderline Idiot S day. We went to a picnic and there were all kinds of cookies. Fresh. Homemade ...

Hi Vicki!

I hope you find that NoS works. I believe that if you stick to the rules over an extended period of time, that it really does work.

I do Ttapp too. Ttapp makes me feel good, but as far as weight loss, I still find that I need to do cardio too.

Please keep us posted on your progress ...

cvmom

(((((((((((((((DEB))))))))))))))))))))))

So nice to see you again! I'm here again. Been here for about 40 days or so.

I hope all is well with you and Richie!

Are you still doing Yoga?

All I can say is that we should eat out less and prepare our own food. At least, we know what is going into the food when we make it!

Day 43 Success (sday) and no exercise

Day 42 Success and break for exercise.

Cheers, Blue.

cvmom

Day FORTY!!!!

And, exercise on treadmill!

cvmom

Ok, as long as you don't start to "obsess" over it.

cvmom

Thank You Gionta!

That's a great idea. I think I will ask my Eye doctor. I never thought of that!

CVmom

I wish I could swim for exercise, but I wear contacts and no matter what kind of goggles I get, they leak.

Power walking in the grocery store sounds fine. You might want to walk very fast through the snack aisle!

cvmom

Hey, Flipturn, I think that cutting down beanstalks definitely qualifies for exercise! LOL

Day 39! Success and Exercise!

cvmom

The Ttapp website has a plethora of information. (www.ttapp.com) There are many helpful trainers that check the boards every day and much information.

It can be overwhelming to look at all the DVD options. The Basic Workout is a good system, but if you have a lot to lose there are some easier ...

Ttapp, Intervals on the treadmill, yoga and hiking.

Day 38 on Habit

Day 37 - Success and break from exercise...

UH...Key Lime Pie - on a MONDAY.

Definitely would take some serious flexing of Habit Muscles not to dive into that!

Hi LA

I didn't perceive your post as an indication of bending the rules. I think we are all just trying to figure this out.

Isn't it strange that we all have to learn to eat in a way that most people, 100 years ago, ate naturally?

Being a chroic dieter for all of my adult life I have to watch ...

cvmom

I find that if I start to get too "grey" about how things go with my eating, that I can rationalize any and every little thing.

"just a bite"

"hardly any calories in a sip of chocolate milkshake"

"an energy drink really isn't a sweet"

"my pasta serving was kinda small"

"I have a protein ...

Hi Debster!!!!! Glad to see you here! How's life?

Hello History teacher, (You have my dream job, by the way, I mean it!) If I look at your measurements it looks like you have lost inches. Are you exercising? I'm sure you know that body weight is only one of the many components to gauge progress ...

cvmom

Thanks, Woes...this is worth looking at.

I will also add that the Japanese eat very little dairy and very little bread and virtually no refined sugar.

I think that the more refined, sugary laden stuff we consume here has to contribute. Not to mention all the fake foods that we have in the middle ...

Resting...as you can see, I am only on day 28. Yes, I have been NOSing for three years, but really I did it faithfully for only about a year. The rest of the time I spent wasting energy on low carb diets. So, now I am back because my eating habits got ...

Hi KCCC

Are you eating enough protein? I find that if I don't eat a serving of protein that I will not stay full and then I will be hungry. (Which leads to a danger of snacking).

I hope your pedicure didn't annoy your tendon!

Happy 4th.

Well, I'm so happy that you stepped in and posted your acheivement!

Hi Blue.

I'm terribly sorry about your cat. I hate it when our little loved ones are ill. They can't talk and its so frustrating.

I will be keeping good thoughts for you, okay?

Am I the only one who likes Unsweetend Tea? Maybe its a California thing...but I've never like sweet tea....
:shock:
I like the suggestion of gradually cutting back a packets of tea.

But, KCCC has great suggestions too.

Think of all the calories sweetened tea has. Best to leave it as a treat ...

Day 19 Success

cvmom

Hey Blamey,

I think that since you are aware of the backsliding at least that means you aren't deluding yourself.

You don't want to mess up 90 days!

Taking a bite of lunch before lunch sounds a little bit like "virtual plating" so me. As long as its part of what you will eat then its probably ...

cvmom

Bright - I agree with you that for some people this is a lifelong struggle.

Food addiction is so much harder then things like Drugs and Alcohol. Those, you never have to touch again, but we all need to eat to stay alive.

This WOE has helped me with my binging behavior, but I don't forsee that ...

cvmom

Other ideas for people that don't like their water straight: Spa water, with lemon or lime wedges. Or, cold water with cucumber slices, or (my personal favorite), water with Grapefruit essence added.

cvmom

Thanks Blue. I haven't quite figured out how to write the words, "Check my Calendar". I will figure it out.

I am left-handed and so I am Right Brained so this logical stuff does not come easily to me...

okay so I think I did it...

Thanks so much Rose...I will give it a try!

I was hoping someone could show me how to link my Habit Calendar to my posts?

Hi Silvermoon!

Big Congrats on reaching your 21 Days!!!

Good idea about exercise too! You can create a Habit Cal for exercise. That's what I have done.

Keep up the Good Work!

cvmom

Blue....that is so interesting that you are doing intensity training. I am too! Instead of my usual long cardio session, I have just started doing 15 minutes on the treadmill three days per week. So, I alternate running and walking for about 15 to 20 minutes. I've only been doing this for a month ...

Day 17 - No S Success!

No exercise.

I have to say that when I read the title of this post I thought, "Oh - someone went to the movies today".....

(My personal movie choice would be popcorn and reeses peanut butter cups...)

I know. I'm still reeling from it!

Jem - there's no need to feel embarrassed. I think a lot of people, when they start, can't believe that they have freedom and so they tend to overdo it. Its kind of like kids in an amusement park. Ever watched them when they run in? They start running around in circles because they don't know which ...

Oh My Gosh - I just re-read my entire thread and realized that I No-Sed for about 10 months without a failure. :o

I really re-motivated myself. (And, I actually found myself pretty amusing?!)

I can do this!

It's not unrealistic to aim for 365 days after all!

I forgot that I fit into my 501's ...

Just over 9 Pounds in 90 days! Blue you are AWESOME! Congratulation! I am so happy for you!

Day 15 success...pretty easy since its an S day.

Ginger, it sounds like you are doing great!!! My first few weeks of Nosing were spent in a motorhome with my family and man it seemed so odd not to be driving and munching. But, I stuck with it, and I really think that helped carve out the habits. It was easier coming home and getting into a routine ...

Hi Blue.

I got that information about muscles holding water from reading one of Bob Greene's books. He said that when you first start an vigorous exercise program that you really shouldn't weigh yourself for the first month or two because muscles can hold up to 9 pounds of water weight. Just like ...

Hi All.

I have read this thread with great interest since I have gone through phases of everyday weighing and never weighing.

Right now, I am in an "no weighing" phase.

But, I do want to mention my most favorite tool to chart my progress: my tapemeasure! Every month I measure myself so that I ...

Hi Blue.

Yes, I feel really good. I'm shooting for 365 days......(always aim high!)
:lol:

I see that you have had success too. Tonight will be a challenge because I have to go to an "event". And they will be serving dessert! But, since I know that its an N day I am already mentally preparing ...

Same here. No S is really the only way that I have controlled my EE. (And lost weight at the same time!)

cvmom

Laff - this may sound crazy, but you have to decide.

For you, an occasional bran muffing may be no big deal. But, it also may be a "trigger" food that in your heart, you know, you consider an S.

Personally, I wouldn't eat a bran muffin during the week because to me, bran muffins are sweet. And ...

cvmom

Mikey, because you are reprogramming your mind for habit it will be helpful if you can structure your eating on a regular schedule. It really is important to eat. I eat every three to four hours. If I don't eat, then I will binge at the next meal.

You can do this! Best of luck on this third day!
