Hi auto, just checking in and catching up on your thread and so much of it rings true. Especially the cyclical struggle.
I find this year in a particular has been a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions and motivation and energy. I’m mainly working on staying grateful and keeping my anxiety in check ...

eschano

Alright so doing ok here.
First week I could only stick to movement and self-care but since then I’ve been sticking to vanilla NoS too.

I’ve watched What the Health and Game Changers and have now switched to 100% plant based for lent with the hope it will stick after that. It’s a bit labour ...

eschano

Hi ladies and gentlemen,
Just wondering if there are any people around who are following vanilla NoS at the moment?
I’m finding reading about all the different mods and tweaks very distracting. It makes me question the whole point of NoS so would be fabulous to be able to follow some vanilla NoS ...

eschano

Absolutely agree with a renewed focus on spirituality. My older one has started in her faith school and the community is lovely there and very much focused on spirituality.

eschano

NoS - Second S day - :mrgreen:
Move - :mrgreen: 14 mins plus walk
Self-care - :mrgreen: taking time to move, getting out of the house, taking time to reset the house for the week.

I'm a bit nervous for tomorrow for my first N day back. No idea if I can stick to it and I know the first week is the ...

eschano

thank you! Likewise

eschano

Hi auto, just catching up a bit. So glad all went well with fowerpup!
And I hear you about kids and school. Mine are still young and in preschool and reception (not sure what the equivalent is in the US) and they also react very differently to being off.

So glad to see you here!

eschano

Aww that is so lovely of you auto! So glad to see you here too!

The girls are well although they miss their friends as schools are closed over here. They are 2 (nearly 3) and 4.5 now.

How are your kids dealing with it all? Are you home more? If you are get the dogs love it.

eschano

So I’m back, heavier than ever after stress eating my way through three Covid lockdowns. I’m feeling really unhealthy and I have two young girls so need to get a grip. I want to see them grow up after all.

So day one is an S day :lol: :lol: :lol:
However, I will track three categories and one of ...

eschano

Hi Deb! So I’m back too. After years I was doing okish but this year has been diet-wise catastrophical for me as I stress eat and I did stress eat my way through three Covid lockdowns and now I’m heavier than ever. So back here! And back on vanilla NoS and self care and movement. So it’s especially ...

eschano

Tried to catch up on some threads but only managed three and missing out one some of my favourite people here but I’m so tired I have to go sleep now.
My intentions for the coming weeks are to tighten up N days and keep my home-made S day treats without refined sugar as that is what definitely works ...

eschano

Hi Linda, very sorry to hear about your friend.
I barely check in at the moment but when I do I enjoy reading your thread as you are such a thoughtful and resilient writer, never shy of diagnosing a problem and finding a solution. Your girls are lucky! I think you would be fantastic in politics if ...

eschano

Just wanted to say hello! Love the apple idea. I often have an apple as “desert” but about twice a week so I would be happy to give it a go for one meal a day. Do you think once will work?

eschano

Hi Octavia, I hope you got a bit of a break and some time for self-care? That’s an area I am also struggling with right now even if I’m in a slightly easier situation. I’ve just started a yoga course and love it but wish it was 5 days a week rather than one ha!

As for S days, I actually couldn’t ...

eschano

Such a fantastic thread! It’s always been one of my favourites and this is so interesting to follow! Auto, can I ask if coconut oil would be good for you to use for cooking? Or not?

eschano

Auto, I’m doing really well! I had the flu and a bug and moved my yoga course to one starting on Tuesday but I’m excited and also, I managed to change my tastebuds. I didn’t have any sweets in January, had a treat on the 2nd of February and will continue my no sweets thing as I am loving it. I feel ...

eschano

Wow auto, despite having no time to follow any threads I just read all of your posts that I missed and they make for completely intriguing reading! I wish I had taken notes so I had something profound to say about something in them but all I can say is that you inspired me massively to look into ...

eschano

Oh Imogen, itâ€™s tough going isnâ€™t it? Definitely not something I ever thought about when I saw other people raising kids - my siblings made it look so easy!
Thank you J!

Diet wise it is going well! Kindness wise too but within limits of recovering from the flu. Movement wise I had to rebook ...

eschano

Iâ€™m with oolala, just doing no sweets as no sugar might be too much effort ha!
I will follow your thread as much as I can as interested how you do it.
Auto, so far the no sweets is going really well so I might also expand it and continue it until Easter but not sure yet as it might be too ...

eschano

Hello!
So 2018 kind of ended a bit mixed. My 2 year old was hospitalised with bronchiolitis and specifically very low oxygen levels for 4 days and nights coming out just at Christmas Eve and we then had a stomach bug from hospital after. It made for a very grateful Christmas that we came out. Also ...

eschano

ðŸ˜‚ I hope you will be able to convince her sooner rather than later

eschano

Finished the week with some green so that is good. My husband is now onboard so much easier for the future!
Lots of positives on kindness especially in my thinking which is lovely!
Movement was green today as I go swimming with my elder one and itâ€™s lots of holding and lifting her

eschano

Sounds like you are doing brilliantly. Remember that even Reinhard writes that he averages 2 reds a month.

eschano

Hahaha, my house can get like that for sure!
Hey, loved reading how you feel great. Good to share the good times!

eschano

What a good reminder to make delicious food! I sometimes forget then feel deprived and then fall off the wagon

eschano

Sounds delicious in the crockpot!
I canâ€™t even tell you how often Iâ€™ve seen people give it all at the beginning of training and then immediately burn out to stop doing it. (I used to work reception at a gym). Think the professionals sometimes forget this isnâ€™t a full time job for and energy ...

eschano

So Iâ€™m 90.2kg which is more than I ever had without being pregnant. But Iâ€™m feeling positive and good about myself.
NoS red yesterday and green today. I think weighing myself had a not so great effect and tracking on a long car journey without first eating breakfast to arrive at a friends who ...

eschano

Congrats on the new job!

eschano

Enjoy all those parties! I also find it hard to get back once I have been taking a holiday but itâ€™s kind of the beauty of noS to be able to do so. Have a great S day.

eschano

Iâ€™ve never heard of it - thank you for the tip! I donâ€™t really get to do anything at the moment. I very much struggle to even keep the house vaguely ok. But Iâ€™ll get there so those 15 minutes are a real stretch for me.
Today the kind thing I did did involve money - I got myself some nice and ...

eschano

Yes, the very first sticky post called spam in the general discussion: https://everydaysystems.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=9040

eschano

Oh happy belated Hanukkah! Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Feeling really sorry for Sweetpea. It sounds like you are doing all the right things and that she has a very healthy way of dealing with it which is a credit to you. Great about Rosebud and doc getting on again!

eschano

ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚auto! I know, the spambots never got to the daily check in before?

Really sorry to hear about your niece and hope the visit goes well!
Brilliantly done on the spending to!

eschano

Thank you ladies!
After a big S day weekend Iâ€™m back on it. I have a cold and feel sorry for myself but will make sure that I am looking after myself so not to use food as a pick-me-up.

eschano

So this week went well! I managed to stay green until my special dinner on Friday night with my mum friends. We all met when pregnant and theyâ€™ve been my lifeline. We had our Christmas dinner Friday so quite early and I went for three courses and it was lovely.

eschano

Today just kind of worked NoS wise. In terms of kindness I went to the dentist and got my teeth fixed and while that made no impact on me being able to eat it is starting to work, I mean all this self care is starting to work. I got my eyebrows done, coloured my hair (I use henna) and my teeth fixed ...

eschano

Welcome!
I donâ€™t consider coffee and tea with milk a snack but it depends if there is sugar or syrup in it really. No sugar no snack. However, everyone has a slightly different take on it and Reinhard drinks it black

eschano

Saturday - s day, kindness: threw our annual Christmas party and enjoyed seeing so many lovely people, hosting counts as cardio, right?
Sunday- s day, kindness: cinema with hubby- first time since the littlest one was born; do something: running late for the cinema so we powerwalked there for ...

eschano

Well done!!

eschano

I have no idea how you get so many things done! I remember since the first time I read your thread how brilliant you were with all your systems going at once!
Thank you so much for your kind words and advice on my thread

eschano

I canâ€™t even imagine all the parenting that still lies in front of me. Thinking you handle things really well.
I hope the woman recovers quickly so you get your time back!
If yoga isnâ€™t your thing donâ€™t worry about it.
Maybe but how tall are the people with the low weights? Well, either way ...

eschano

Oolala, I think good about your retirement - bluff or not!
Hopefully your worries will not come true. I have no advice about getting back into the habits as I am majorly struggling with it but am following here closely if you come across anything that helps.

eschano

Sounds like you are doing brilliantly!

eschano

Thank you auto that is so kind!
My mum told me all about dieting while also buying me exciting chocolates any time she could so letâ€™s just say November was a write off haha!
Hoping December is better. Just finished my second day and I have a sugar-deprivation headache. Oh dear. So hereâ€™s to a ...

eschano

Yes but no flour ðŸ˜±

eschano

After a very sad November effort Iâ€™m definitely in with vanilla no-s and a mod for an allowed fourth small snack plate as Iâ€™m breastfeeding and sometimes starving but no other other mods. So far so good.
1 - S day
2 - S day
3 - green
4- green
5- green
6- green
7- special day
8- s day
9 - s ...

eschano

I also find that if Indonâ€™t get the breakfast right it throws me. Your cooking skills sound yummy!

eschano

Thank you so much Linda, much needed words there.

So I didnâ€™t manage on noS nor movement but self-care was a success. I did allow myself to buy something - a self-care journal that will be delivered in the next two weeks and which I cannot wait to start in January and also allowed myself to read ...

eschano

Thank you J! Well itâ€™s not really me having a tough time I just forgot myself when others are having a tough time around me. I have to say baby loss or child loss in general must be the single saddest thing in this world but I know she will pull through it with a lot of help.
Good idea about the ...

eschano

And so sorry Iâ€™m not up to date with your journeys - Love to you all - you fantastic people on this board!!!
I wonâ€™t have time to properly catch up - just here or there but I couldnâ€™t like this community more and feel so much positivity towards you all

eschano

Linda, Iâ€™m the same! I breastfeed DD1 until I found out I was pregnant with DD2 when DD1 was 13 months and now Iâ€™m breastfeeding DD2 and the plan is for at least one year but most likely longer.
We are all finally on the mend and I have hit absolute rock bottom diet wise. The realisation that I ...

eschano

Oh wow auto, that is my absolute dream and my husband promised me to check me into a spa the moment I stop breastfeeding but that wonâ€™t be for another 6 or so months so until then Iâ€™m their number 1. Donâ€™t get me wrong, itâ€™s completely my choice to breastfeed so Iâ€™m not complaining. I love ...

eschano

Haha ladies! Preying on the weak.
Well, I didnâ€™t make it. On Wednesday I had a fail and it wasnâ€™t for the halloween candy - I actually went out and bought a treat ðŸ™ˆ
So that was out of tiredness which is my #1 reason for a fail for sure.
Then Thursday was a success and Friday would have been ...

eschano

Iâ€™ve never even heard of cracked oats - sounds yummy

eschano

Parenting woes can be so tough! And I totally get how they could lead to fast food. Can you imagine that the two McDonalds we had around my town closed so we have none now? Otherwise Iâ€™d be there all the time ha!

I hope you find solutions to your woes! Sorry no advice here as mine are so much ...

eschano

Not embarrassing at all and delighted to follow your thread in the future

eschano

A very heavy N day followed by another one. Iâ€™m having ridiculous portions but I feel like I have to to make it through the days at the moment so that is what I am doing.

eschano

What an inspiring post! Also, I believe weight loss should be measured in inches not weight?

eschano

It made me laugh too so you clearly have a great sense of humour - much more important than looks anyways and I would bet everything on the fact that youâ€™re a lot more attractive than you think you are. Ever looked back on pictures of a younger you and thought â€œoh I was actually much better ...

eschano

Sharon, this is very much what I did all weekend- stuff my face because it was an S day. Lovely to read someoneâ€™s thread who is moving away from that.

eschano

Good luck!

eschano

Thank you for sharing Texarc! Makes sense to know what you are doing and why diet wise.
Hey, I have a friend who only got diagnosed with diabetes 1 in her 30s which is very rare and she nearly died but now she mainly used her diet to manage it and her doctor told her she couldnâ€™t be part of a ...

eschano

Good morning! I had a ridiculously heavy S weekend but am glad for it as I feel ready for the week. However, those Halloween chocolates in the house ðŸ™ˆ. Good luck everyone!

eschano

Delighted to be doing this with you!

eschano

Iâ€™m not one for calorie counting as I have the memory of a sieve these days so I would be wrong all the time but if you would want to incorporate it could you count weekly calories as opposed to daily ones? That way when you have some leftover you can bank them for the weekend?
That said, I still ...

eschano

Iâ€™m so so sorry for your loss oolala. Iâ€™m quite shocked this has happened.

eschano

I made it this week - yeah!
Not easily but I made it yay. Last time I had a brilliant start until I went on holiday. Part of that good start was me re-reading the NoS book so Iâ€™m just going to do this again now. I really want to get it properly. I donâ€™t want to continue getting bigger and I ...

eschano

I really want to nail this month ahead of the Christmas season to establish the habit. I would be happy with two fails max but whatever it is Iâ€™ll take it day by day, meal by meal.

1- Success
2- Success
3- S day
4- S day
All red thereafter ðŸ˜±
I royally messed up November. Hoping for a better ...

eschano

Oh dear, mainly spam here.
I really want to go to Argentina - that is by far my number one place on the list where I havenâ€™t been and I would love to revisit some places I have been to but just love like Rome and Hawaii.

eschano

Iâ€™ve just come back to this so Iâ€™m not a newbie in that I know it works really well for me but I am in terms of having to get back into the habits from a similar permasnacking habit - I have a toddler and a baby and am home too so feel your pain. I find it really hard not to eat the leftovers of ...

eschano

ðŸ˜‚ aims be delighted if you left it on my thread but you havenâ€™t. I hope it posted somewhere as otherwise you lost it

eschano

Very inspiring posts to catch up on here, thank you. Good luck with the bloods and keep us updated.

eschano

Traffic school - ouch! I remember having to do it and they didnâ€™t allow me to bring my breastfed baby to it so she had to starve it out as she wouldnâ€™t take the bottle - most stressful day that year but we all made it through and I actually learned a few things at this involuntary refresher.

eschano

I canâ€™t wait to get there J. Iâ€™m still fighting for the habit to stick for now. Iâ€™m in all morning with DD2 so finding it hard especially with the sweets in the cupboard but so far so good.

eschano

Iâ€™ll try that tonight, thank you!
Sounds like you are doing well overall.

eschano

That analysis sounds really interesting. Will google it ASAP.

eschano

Delighted to see it is going well!

eschano

Baked apples sound amazing. Do you literally just stick an apple in the oven? (Obviously Iâ€™m not much of a cook)

eschano

Ooh that is so what happens to me on S days Imogen. Good luck with rediscovering the pleasure of s days Octavia!

eschano

Sounds great though to do it together. Thankfully my husband has also agreed to no sweets during the week. So at least one rule.

eschano

Thank you auto!
I was lucky to meet a really good group in my antenatal classes and we see each other a lot, which is amazing for my health really except for the toddler sweets, ha!
Iâ€™m so proud as I made it through both days without any snacking or sweets or seconds although my plates were ...

eschano

Oh wow, your husband does it with you?
Hey, seems like you are doing brilliantly.

eschano

Fingers crossed that it made a difference ðŸ¤ž

eschano

Thank you both!
Imogen, thatâ€™s good to know that someone else is in the same place ðŸ™Œ.
Also that not everyone is bored reading this. Iâ€™m still breastfeeding so no caffeine for me but music is such a good idea - I massively underuse music.
I might just about have made it today. The next two ...

eschano

Thank you! Iâ€™m still only thinking of sugary food but it is early afternoon now and so far so good but I am definitely struggling

eschano

Itâ€™s three hours into the first day and all I want to do is to stuff my face. We had 4 nightfeeds of the littlest one last night and a 5am wake up of the DD1 thanks to daylight saving.
When I am tired I find it especially hard to stay strong and not give into unlimited chocolate and other sugary ...

eschano

Thank you so much auto - brilliant idea about the check in and I will take your advice

eschano

Wow there is so much going on here and I had lots of excuses not to follow NoS - and it seems I took them all.
Iâ€™m on it again as of today as I am ballooning. I know it will be a real struggle in the first week but I just need to do it now. Every time I drop off the check in is when I stop doing ...

eschano

I agree that the timing needs to be right. I gave up caffeine 3years ago when trying to get pregnant and the withdrawal was crazy. But I never went back on it and my husband gave it up with me and now he has some about twice a month when he needs and extra kick - he says that is probably how we are ...

eschano

Nope, you basically summed up my experience too ðŸ˜‚ I love my kids so much and feel so lucky and grateful to have them but I certainly find it boring at times at this point.

eschano

Auto, I bet you are an amazing teacher! Weirdly, I donâ€™t remember the teachers with the easy classes as great but the ones that ask for a lot of work but were fair and took an interest in us as people.

I have to catch up on your thread to find out how your month of no alcohol went! I missed it.

eschano

Thank you auto!
Iâ€™m back from holiday and tomorrow will be my first day back on NoS and I am dreading it haha! But I just have to get through the first weeks. I wish I had just kept it going at our first holidays as I never managed to get back into it but now we are staying put for quite some ...

eschano

Thank you, it was! Since coming back things have been crazy. DD1 started nursery and promptly made the whole family ill and I had one solid red week ðŸ™ˆ just too busy with two ill kids and not feeling good myself either.

eschano

Oh brilliant! I had a similar experience on my holidays just now. It is funny how I can eat more on holidays but donâ€™t gain.

eschano

Hello! Iâ€™m back from our vacation and had a successful N day yesterday. In fact I left some of my dinner as the portion - within NoS aka on a plate - was ridiculous. I loved our vacation and ate what I wanted but we also racked up lots of walked kilometers and I didnâ€™t gain anything.

Thank you ...

eschano

So there isnâ€™t a buy nothing group in my area but I have started my own group with friends for now.
We are getting rid of loads and the house is still full of stuff. Considering something much more radical but am not quite there yet.

eschano

Hiya, howâ€™s it going soprano?

eschano

I know! Such an amazing community here and you are a big part of it. Hey, wish the mum community out there would be like this board!

eschano

Oops, looks like I confused everyone by coming out as Tess ðŸ˜Š
Imogen, sounds like a wonderful weekend ahead! Enjoy. And as for the controlled fail: I donâ€™t mind controlled fails that much personally itâ€™s the crazy ones like I had yesterday that are tough.

eschano

Ok so I am switching for today. I know there should be no funny switching business this early in the process but I am on holiday Monday-Monday so I wonâ€™t feel deprived
