Thanks Auto! That's very sweet.

I am much better today.

137.8 again. Things are much slower now, but I am not starving all the time so I will take it. I really want to get to 125 by Labor Day Weekend (girls beach trip) - will have to evaluate things if they don't move quicker.

137.8

Feel like crap today. Want to crawl in bed and go to sleep.

CMThib82

I can't say I have had a perfectly green day in a while - but the scale is still going down - hoping to be green today.

138

B: Sandwich Chips Iced Coffee

L: Steak Potatoes Iced Coffee

CMThib82

Lol - def advanced - did it yesterday too - probably ate a bit much. I have been all over the place - but I am still eating less than before I started - so I am not stressing.

138.2 again today - weight shows the too much. Sticking to the plan today.

CMThib82

It ended up being a crazy stressful day - I didn't really cheat - but I didn't really sit down for a third meal - I was so rushed I grabbed here and grabbed there - so I can't really count it as a green more a yellow.

Not too shabby - looking forward to a straight green!

CMThib82

No I didn't know. I will have to take a look at her journal. My real love is a barbell - but it will be a little while before that is in the budget.

Yesterday was a green - 2 in a row is the most I have done so far in 2014 so I am going to break the record today with a third.

Weight: 138.2

Did ...

CMThib82

Going to be another green day - I can feel it.

Weight: 138.6

Breakfast: Protein Bar/Iced Coffee

Today is workout day - I do everything from home and I just ordered a 50lb Kettle bell for squats and deadlifts - I am going to order a rack and bumper plates and the whole shebang but it isn't in the ...

CMThib82

Well Saturday went well - but Sunday was a doozy.

Back on track - green all day

B: Protein bar/iced coffee

L: Roast and Veggies/iced coffee

CMThib82

I may try that! Thanks Auto!

139.4 - It is that time of the month which accounts for the scale jumping up a bit.

I am feeling a bit of guilt - wasn't going to take S Days this weekend because I had two S events this week - but I am going to try to just move on.

B: Protein Bar/Iced Coffee

L: Jr ...

CMThib82

I was a very large eater. I ate 3 full meals and snacks and sweets. I expect to be hungry since it is a drastic cut in calories but I just have a hard time falling asleep when my stomach is rumbling!! lol.. hopefully I will become more accustom.

CMThib82

138.6

Going to try to put off my meals a bit to keep from getting hungry before bed so I can eat my last meal around 7 or so

So far so good

9am - 2 fried eggs/3 bacon/iced coffee

2pm - Steak/potatoes/broccoli/bacon/iced coffee

7pm

Thanks Auto! It's been fun. I am not binging - and actually have some green days - that is better than I have done in 2 years. lol

CMThib82

Yesterday was a red!! I was starving before bed so I had to hubs grab me a 50 cent brownie from the store! It helped big time!! I felt like I was really filling my plates - I think the problem is I ate supper at 5:30 instead of 7:00. I will correct that today.

I will be honest - I have a big girls beach trip I am putting together at my mom's cabin for Labor Day Weekend which is about 7 months away - and I want to try to be back down to the 120 area that I maintained for 10 years before I said screw diets. It is keeping my eye on the prize - otherwise I ...

I only walk and do a tiny bit of planks, jumping jacks, etc.

I think that is the best. I am trying that - did some exercises around ...

I know it has been a bit since you talked about budget - but we follow the Dave Ramsey plan.

He has a free budget planner on his website. It has really helped. We felt like we got a raise when we started it because we spent money on this like coffee at starbucks/going out to eat/just running to the ...

Are you going to work out at home or go to a gym or Crossfit center?

From home - crossfit is too intense for me after beating up my body for so many years!

140.2 this morning. GREEN!!! Yay

It was an S Day yesterday - but I only had 1 treat. I was still feeling guilty from the week of reds - not wild reds - but not greens.

I went to bed hungry yesterday - which I use to be terrified of - but I am starting to get use to the feeling again.

I am also ...

CMThib82

Hey, we have pretty much the same "stats": height and weight! :)
Nice to have a "mirror" weight-loss buddy, although as I'm sure we've both learned, NoS is so much more than weight loss.

Glad you had a good weekend.

It is more than weight loss. It is a sense of control. I wasn't really gaining ...

CMThib82

Well my S Days were both mild - a few snacks yesterday and one sweet today.

I work Saturday and Sunday some weeks - so I stayed busy.

Looking forward to a green week!!

140.4 this morning.

CMThib82

If you're truly hungry, you are probably not eating enough at your three meals. Really load up those three plates! :)

I think you are right! Thanks for the advice. It seems counterintuitive to load up when you are trying to lose weight - but I have seen it help others - and I have fell on the NO ...

CMThib82

Thanks!

Last week was all reds - I haven't been on a diet in nearly a year so I am finding this crazy hard! It isn't the sweets - I am just plain hungry!!

I did lose - 140.2 - so not a total loss. I am just going to keep pushing until I get the hang of it.

BTW was going through some of my million ...

CMThib82

Yes - aiming for green. I also made a decision that the two - 110 calorie iced coffees were ok for me - it also has enough caffeine for around a mug of coffee - and since I have decided this will be my lifestyle and not my diet - well I am ok with so allowances.

So yesterday was a green - and today ...

Crystal, I'm so sorry to hear that. Crap, like we don't struggle enough with food. My thoughts are with you. On the bright side, perhaps this gives you a reason to choose healthy foods, unlike me, because I don't *have* to. I hope things are going okay!

Very true.. when I don't have a choice I ...

Hi, Crystal:
It's nice to see you're posting again. I'm getting back in the saddle, too. Just to help myself retain better habits.

Right now the only real junk I eat is a whole 90 ...

CMThib82

Congrats on the run of S Days. The scale is a funny thing. I think I have made the decision to give it up for good. It broke and I am resisting the temptation (so far) to buy a new one. Measurements and pictures are so telling - and the number of S Days in a row!

So cool to see you do Body Pump. I have been teaching it for over a year now and I love it.

I could jump for joy. I had another success /Primal day.

Today was a Big Success !

I ate nothing but veggies and protein for over a year one time and it sucked.

I committed to 1 S Event and I had 3 in all. My husband came home and I drank a big glass of wine and wine brain told me I could have a little bit of pizza and peanut butter and jelly before bed.

So I am starting over again. I know you are not suppose to ...

CMThib82

I like your mods.

I wanted to do Vanilla No S also, but I tend to binge and DID binge with total freedom on S Days. I now am allowing 2 S Events per week instead. I figure I can always go vanilla if it doesn't work out, right?

Congrats on the greens!! Good luck with the last 20 pounds!

Well I decided to take my 2nd S Event for the week. I told myself I would wait until Saturday for the 2nd and if I take another I will count it as a fail, but Saturday and Sunday the family will be running in every direction so I wanted a chance to really enjoy my S!
