Round 1; Day 1
11-24-2009

Success on my 1st day of No S eating. I had 3 meals, no sugar, no snacks (except for about 9 sunflower seeds I grabbed from a bowl and popped in my mouth while talking to a dd - didn't even think about it and then I said, "oops - I wasn't supposed to do that" - LOL), no seconds - drank skim, water and ice tea. I'm so looking forward to a treat on Saturday or Sunday, but no cravings hit me today except once about 2pm. I just waited 5 minutes and it was gone.

My Wii Fit Plus workout went great - fascinating to do these different types of movements and see how I do. I put in 23 minutes today. My family is just LOVING being physical with our new Wii.

Forgot my vitamins today. I need to put them by my breakfast area!

Round 1: Day 2

Having TOO MUCH fun with the Wii Fit Plus. I LOVE that the other family members Mii characters follow me around and wave and participate.

I did 36 minutes on the Wii and it said I burned 172 calories.

Success on eating NO S today. Although, I totally noticed the cookie the kids had with their lunch and around 3pm I wanted my natural popcorn with a piece of dark chocolate so bad. I know that's an okay snack, but I have to wait until an S DAY - so I just dealt with the craving - reminded myself I still have dinner to look forward to and also focused on that for a reward this weekend.

Round 1: Day 4
12-27-2009

Today is an S DAY, but I'm doing great on just enjoying a taste of something, not a whole serving. I want to keep up my momentum.

I did 40 minutes on the Wii Fit Plus program. Still loving this more than any exercise program I've done before: treadmill, stationary bike, workout videos, XBX, outdoor walking, pedometer, swimming, Curves.

Didn't get to work out yesterday so I will work out tomorrow to make up for it. That will give me my 5 days for the week.

Round 1: Day 21
12-13-2009

S day. : D

No workout for me on Sundays.

Finished Round 1. I think I did okay all things considered.

My success rate was 18/21 days in my first round. That's 86%.

I'm not a dieter and am anti yo-yo. This diet is the first thing I've found in a 2 year search that truly makes sense for me. Not so much a "diet" but a way of eating for the rest of your life. That's my ultimate goal.

Welcome, Oregonian! You are doing great. Your Wii Fit sounds like a lot more fun than my treadmill.

An Oregonian · Post by **An Oregonian** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 5:16 pm

You sound like you are doing great, Orie. We have a wii fit, which I'm going to have to try to use... I found all the "check your balance" crap at the beginning a bit tedious, but maybe I'll just try to start getting to the exercise part.

I'd like to say that other family members would participate, but my son is a high school wrestler, and he's so impossibly fit that he just mocks my attempts at fitness by doing one armed pushups.

An Oregonian · Post by **An Oregonian** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 4:46 pm

1. I skip the Body test (only do it every 2 weeks) and go straight to training. I usually use the locker room section so I can minimize the time spent choosing and loading an exercise.

2. I don't allow anyone in the room while I workout. I'm with you - no mocking or giggling wanted. I am impressed with how much I need a shower when I'm done. It keeps me mentally busy, too, which is terrific.

Round 3: Day 3,4,5

Success for Wednesday, Thurday and Friday for No S Eating.

Did not get to workout yesterday or today because the mini-boiler stopped delivering HOT water to our sinks and tubs. So I've been afraid to get sweaty. It's been bad enough to take a standing in the tub shower with 4 pitchers or stove water.

Our landlord built it and won't be back from Hawaii until late Sunday. The other 3 plumbers that came apologetically gave up.
