Everyday Systems

This thread could not have come at a more perfect time.

I too am coming back to No S after getting started but then falling off the wagon. I am so sick of beating myself up and over thinking and researching and thinking to myself that "once I get on a good diet" then my life will magically fall ...

have not been here to check-in for a while and thus have found myself losing my "habit". committing to posting here daily w/ food i eat, even if i post nothing other than a list of what i've consumed. drinks included.

today, sunday, dec 13:

spiced almond milk
stir fry (rice, egg, red onion, soy ...

hello and welcome back! i am new (as of september) to No S and haven't had a chance to post much but have been following losely since then although I've had some ups and downs.

your habits that you wrote out are *great* - I am so inspired, especially by your daily running habit. thank you for ...

I am interested in juicing and I would say add it TO a meal, or drink it in between. It's juice, its a liquid, it's not a meal IMHO, so I would think we could drink it between meals. It's not like we can't put anything in our mouths ever except for three times a day. We are "allowed" to have drinks ...

OK - so today at lunch, I had made a sandwich, but it was cut in half. I had also brought about 2c of fresh raspberries and some yogurt to eat too. I ate the berries & 1/2 of the sandwich then I was full.

OMG WHAT DO I DO I STILL HAVE FOOD ON MY PLATE SOMEONE CALL THE NO S EMERGENCY HELPLINE RIGHT ...

I am struggling w/ this too but learning to embrace more and more.

I must remember to not let perfect be the enemy of good.

I have stocked my freezer w/ frozen fish that is already seasoned/prepared & just needs to be cooked, as well as frozen veggies! That has to be healthier than a Whopper, no ...

Hello everyone!

Checking in for the weekend which has been a success. I worked out and had my smoothie yesterday. I also ate the following:

B: eggnog latte (resisted the urge for mcdonalds due to $$ and nutrition)
L: (homemade) murasaki potato w/ bacon, butter, cinnamon + about a half cup of ...

Good morning,

Last night was a success - although I did have 1 single candy corn. I am starting to become aware of not having little edible treats in sight. I always thought I wasn't big on candy but since starting NoS I have found that I am actually more guilty of indulging than originally thought ...

Checking in w/ some good news: No S is working! (duh)

I weighed in last night & again this morning & am weighing in at 175.7 lbs. A decrease as my last weigh in was 176 something.

Breakfast this morning was: blk coffee, a berry & kale/spinach/chard smoothie, with a bowl of oatmeal. I only ate ...

Hello. Checking in w/ a Green day today.

Breakfast was coffee + a bfast sandwich to-go. Ick. Need to improve on the bfast choices bc I felt like crap all morning - brain fog, headache, lethargic, etc.

Lunch was leftovers - pasta w/ shrimp alfredo. Too heavy. Felt icky after that too. I am ...

Oops. I have not checked in for a while. About a week!

I know for a fact that pretty much every day last week was Red.

Oh well, live & learn. I know why too & have hopefully put some changes in place that will help me avoid the same mistake again.

Green smoothie challenge has been going well ...

also - i am getting more and more excited about being a transit rider! i ...

hello hello!

yesterday I was kind of icky-feeling but not truly "sick" so I took another red day on the habit cal. I ate 1 pumpkin spice milano and a handful of almonds at work.

Today I am determined to do better. I've had warm water w/ lemon, black coffee, and regular water this morning. i'll be ...

So I was going to count yesterday as a "S" day but I changed my mind. I am just marking it down as red on the calendar. Progress, not perfection, right? I ended up eating a blueberry muffin & a ...

Another successful N day yesterday! Had temptation to snack at about 3:30 at work - felt a little hungry too & didn't know if i would make it until dinner, so I made a protein water.

Dinner was at a pub - fries w/ ketchup + french dip sandwich + iced R&C cola. It was good & I shared it w/ my SO so ...

last night's dinner was pretty good. this morning we went out for breakfast & i also got some more frozen fruit to vary my green smoothies. was not going to join the challenge however i didn't realize they only host 4x a year so i figured what the heck. so i am offically ...

happy to be back posting again and report that last night was a success!

we went to the wine/cheese bar. ended up having 2 glasses of moscato + 2 oz ea of a red, a white, and a rose` sampler. it was such a fun time.

10/2 Dinner: wine, dipping bread w/ olive oil & balsamic vinegar, fruit ...

Yesterday was a success.

B: cottage cheese & mandarin oranges, black coffee
L: leftover meatloaf & green beans w/ lemon water
D: soup & toast w/ plain water

Last night was a success - dinner was soup & toast. Felt a twisty-stomach for some reason, out of nowhere.

Ended up getting in an argument ...

Thank you Soya for the warm welcome!

Yes, it is Burn The Fat, Feed the Muscle. Tom Venuto is the author of the book. I had great success in the past & felt it was a balanced diet, sustainable in terms of the type of food I ate. It was just the meal timing drove me nuts.

Anyway - today I woke up ...

Yesterday I didn't feel well - marked it as an S day. Not feeling quite so good today either but am doing a little bit better. I just ate a snack - without much though - almost was automatic. Just a handful of plain almonds so nutrtitionally good but No-S bad.

Taking yesterday & today as rest days ...
