Everyday Systems

Well done!!

I love the simplicity of this diet too. I don't always find it easy but it is very simple. and that counts for a lot.

Got my hour of Pilates in this evening - and a walk on Monday - so not doing too bad with some exercise. I've had 3 successful days in a row of No S. I find the evening a little challenging. If I wasn't on this diet, I certainly would be snacking. No dessert doesn't seem hard. And going for seconds ...

well done with the walking!! You're an inspiration!

I got only one walk in Lovedby2. I walked for 30 min outside. It was so nice to get out in the fresh air. i also did an hour long pilates class.

Planning to do better this week!

Well I"m glad I didn't call this "Kathie's Daily Check In" - just "Kathie's Check In"

Some days I've found a little hard - not super hard - but the temptation to snack in the evening is strong. But I'm hanging in there and feel so good in the mornings when I resist the night before!

Am I losing ...

PS - glad you're feeling better!

I'm up for the walking. I did a Pilates class this evening and it felt very good after a big Easter eating weekend. Plus my grand-daughter's bday on Monday. My family is pretty big so I may have to rethink the "special days". We had 4 bdays in March...

I'll do the 15 min walk too - I also have some ...

Monday

back on track

and

it feels good!

A green day.

shreddies with half banana for breakfast - milk and coffee

2 small pieces of bread with pb - clementine

Chinese food for supper (bday leftovers) - one plate - no seconds - and a clementine (watched everyone else eat my leftover DQ bday cake... haha didn't bother me.)

Now I'm heading ...

Really hope you're feeling better soon!! I mentioned on my thread that I'd be happy to walk along with you whenever you're up for it. I'll put on a Leslie Sansone video until the snow melts!!

I forgot to mention that I came home from the dinner and just had enough time to get into my exercise clothes for my Pilates class . . . I was on the little full side but i made it through

Lovedby2 - I will join you! We'll cheer each other on!

Thank you for all the helpful and supportive comments ladies! I did take an S day and had a lovely time with my girlfriends - and enjoyed the FREE dessert. Brownie and ice-cream. I would have been setting myself up for failure if I hadn't planned to take an S Day.

It was a tricky week to start the ...

Exercising is a difficult one for me as well. I have a genetic heart problem that causes fatigue. But someone on the forum mentioned T-Tapp and I've been trying that. and when the snow melts around here (it's been a record winter for snow!), I'll join you with walking. Hope you have a great week!

It's a bit of a learning curve to figure out exactly how much food to put on the plate isn't it! You're doing really well. Thanks for describing your experiences. I'm learning lots! All the best!

well done!! I'm impressed with what you're learning. I'm also enjoying the rules - they're sensible. I have hopes that I've found the program that will last for life. here's hoping! I don't see why it couldn't. All the best!

Thanks for sharing your experiences - it's really helpful for newbies like me. all the best!

Another successful day. Exercised as well so feel very good about that.

Today is my birthday - so I will be having dessert tonight with family :)

Tomorrow evening girlfriends are taking me out - not sure if I will count that as a S day or not? Should I have dessert? Exchange a day from Sat or ...

You're doing very well and learning lots!! Here's to a great second week!

Hi Gingerpie

Thanks for the warm welcome!

My dh also had borderline high cholesterol. He cut out cream in his coffee and tea and also started eating oatmeal for breakfast everyday (He doesn't take milk on it) In 3 mos he dropped down to normal range. No meds. He's not overweight and he also ...

Thanks girls!

First check in - Day 2 - success. ate 3 plates. no snacks -no sweets. It's midnight - I'm a little hungry but that's ok. Looking forward to a good breakfast tomorrow morning.
