Everyday Systems

I am 7 Success Days in, this February. 14 more days to go. Goal: To post in the 21 day club. I have tendinitis in BOTH my hips and can't run for a few weeks. I need a group exercise class to get motivated. Finding time to walk or do pushups on my own is challenging. (especially when it's below freez...

I really enjoyed the No "S" diet Book. I didn't realize how big the snack industry is. Now, I hear a snack commercial and roll my eyes.

Congratulations on your steady loss. I am wishing you much sucess and want you to know that we are with you!

I agree, I don't have much to go. The goal is to get back into the clothes I've got. I was 15 lbs lighter before I got married and I think what makes me nervous is that I didn't see it creep up on me, it was so gradual. I'm done with crappy diets and life is getting so much easier on the no "S" diet...

I can't believe it's Thursday already! I try to post often because it gives me the motivation I need to stay on track. I will get caught up here because I'm currently hungry and have an hour before my sister comes to meet me for lunch. Friday, I made my Birthday an "S" day. It was great! Goals: With...

Great work! I too had lots of snow to shovel....after my 5 hour drive home Wednesday night!

Wow, my first Snow day and I totally fell of the Wagon so I decided to make it an S day. Today is my birthday but I didn't plan on celebrating until Saturday. I ended up sharing an appetizer with friends at lunch and having a cup of mini marshmallows with some cocoa after dinner. I wouldn't complain...

Yes, I saw the reference to Jack LaLanne's interview on NBC. I think it was his birthday or something so they offered him a slice of cake and he said he never ate between meals! I really like eating 3 times a day and when I'm actually hungry. It took a little while to get there. I agree with you, Yo...

Thank you for your support! I am excited to dump these old bad habits. I might weigh-in in a couple weeks to see if I have made any progress. 1/19 and 1/20 were Success Days . I ate a handful of mini marshmellows on Friday 1/21 so that was a Fail day . I'm not going to beat myself up over it though....

1/18/11 was a Success Day!! Stress levels are high but I feel OK. Not so depressed that I'm overwhelmed at work AND on a diet. It's the pits when I'm bummed out and I can't have a favorite comfort snack. I get down right angry. Then I feel like a failure, when I slip and shove something in my face t...

1/14 and 1/17 were Sucess days! I am still having snack attacks. Even though my S days are important, i feel like they ruin the beginings of the habit I build on during the week. It's so easy to slip back into the comforts of an old habit than to build new ones. The attacks are almost definately bro...

1/13/11 I Failed yesterday. I couldn't recover from my lapse around 10:30. I ate again at 4PM and then at 8PM and had icecream. It's hard for me to last 2 days on a diet without my failing but I really want to get back on top of this and finish the week out strong. I think I beat myself up too much ...

1/12/11 was a Success ! I felt the sugar cravings after dinner probably because I was tired. I eat when I'm tired, stressed, in pain etc. It will be nice when I'm on a nice schedule instead of worrying about counting calories. That is what I call freedom! Today didn't start out so well. I went to th...

1/11/11: My first Fail day! I was preparing walnuts last night for my breakfast this morning and I ate a few. I'm new on the plan and trying to be strict about it during this initial phase. I've been on the plan 8 days with 2 "S" days in there. It's been difficult for me because even though I don't ...

I'm new, I just finished my first week! I'm a snacker. If I don't fill up each meal I can't stop thinking about food. It's really opened my eyes to my habits. I am doing the vanilla No "S" diet and following the Phases listed in the sticky notes and am otherwise very happy. My body doesn't feel a hu...
