I love thinking up elaborate systems and plans about changing my habits and managing my time. I make all kinds of rules and never actually follow any of them. They aren't automatic and require a lot of thinking and checking. The same goes for GTD and other systems. I forget about them and if I remem...

Hi there. I haven't been around for a while.. I've made some progress. The spring is coming and I'm always more determined and active when the sun starts shining again. I've given up buying soft bread and as a result I've lost 1 kg (yes, I told I wasn't going to monitor my weight... bad me). But sta...

Day 29 - S-day . Day 30 - S-day . Day 31 - S-day . I've been eating mostly porridge, baby food and other smooth stuff. Not much appetite though since the disinfecting mouthwash I've to use wreaks havoc on my sense of taste. Rest of December Failures and S-days . I'm still the same size though. Proba...

Day 27 - S-day . Too many sweets. Day 28 - S-day . Had a wisdom tooth extracted this morning. I've eaten porridge, ice cream and baby food. And during the time it took me to write that one short sentence I managed to read three articles on Wikipedia... One concerning wisdom teeth, one about porridge...

Day 26- S-Day. Had a small party with friends. Ate four cookies, dried fruit, dark chocolate, 2 candies and drank 2 cups of coffee and a bottle of red wine.

Omena

Day 25 - Success . I even did a 14 minute workout today. I've been thinking about the stay of the scale discussion. And I've come to the conclusion that the reason staying of the sweets was so hard for me earlier this week is because I didn't see any change happening. I didn't magically shrink notic...

Day 24 - Success. Though officially it's an S-day since it's Independence Day in Finland. Haven't eaten any cookies, sweet bread, christmas tarts or candy. And didn't even want to.

Omena

Day 23 - Success.

Omena

Day 22 - Failed. Visited granny and had 2 cups of coffee with a mazarin tart. This week is not starting well.

Omena

Day 21 - A spectacular failure. It started with just one candy and escalated into tea with pastries..

Omena

Day 20 - S-day . I ate some sweet things and tested a recipe for Turkish Pepper Toffee. Now I think I've met my weekly salty liquorice quota. The toffee turned out yummy and I'll make another batch for gifts near Christmas. I saved some cookies and a Christmas tart for this weekend. I ate them but I...

Day 19 - S-day. Birthday parties. Too many sweet things and not enough real food. Walked a little.

Omena

Day 18 - Success. I got through the whole 5 N-days and it wasn't even hard

. I'm happy. Woke up early and did a 14 min workout and later got an extra workout for my arms from felting. My arms will probably be sore tomorrow. Ran some errands so got some walking done too.

Omena

Thank you Flnu. It's been a sad month but things are starting to look a little brighter. Day 17 - Success . Had one cup of coffee. MIL commented on me not eating anything with it and told me there's no need to watch what I eat since I'm such a slim person.. I'm planning my S-days already :D There ar...

Omena

Omena

Day 10 -Success.
Day 11 - Failed. There was free raspberry cake at the grocery store. Couldn't resist a piece.

I seem to have 50 % success rate at the moment. I'm eating better than I used to but I need to get a higher percentage of successful days.

Omena

The weather was beautiful and it was only -10 C. Had one mug of hot cocoa with whiskey after my second walk. Honeybush tea...

Thanks Kevin for your comment. I'm actually quite happy with the way I started. Before NoS I would have had at least 2 slices of sweetbread after the service and probably something else too. Not because I really wanted to eat them, but because they were there right in front of me.

Omena

Day 4 - Success My first one this far

. Did a little stretching before sauna too.

Omena

Day 3 - Failed. Had 10 candies. (And tea with honey, but that doesn't count since I've got the flu. Hmm... weren't sick days S-days too)

Omena

S-day - small at-home memorial service for a relative. Had three cups coffee and only one slice of sweetbread.

Measured my waist (with yarn since my measuring tape has a tendency to vanish): 80 cm (31.5 inches)

Day 1. Failed. Found a stash of candy in the morning and ate almost all. Had coffee with ice cream while visiting.

I'm 26 and I've been steadily gaining about 1.5 kg a year the last 6 years. If I don't stop I'll be overweight in no time. I won't be monitoring my weight though; if I'll measure something, it will be my waistline. My goal is to get 5 cm off my waist. So my favourite jeans will fit me again. About N...
