An Oregonian's Check-In
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.

Round 1: Day 6
It's an S Day so I can eat what I want in moderation. Boy did I enjoy one of my dd's oatmeal choc. chip cookie. And a little of my dh's incredible clam dip. And some natural popcorn with a piece of dark chocolate.
Did 30 minutes on the Wii Fit Plus and burned 135 calories. Did stretching, balance, aerobics and abs today. Set a new record on Table Tilt.

Round 1: Day 13
Success yesterday on No S.
Today was an S day, but there wasn't much around to enjoy. I did have some Dutch Brothers hot chocolate this morning. I'll have to make sure I have a nice, small treat tomorrow. Gotta make it thru next week with 5 No S days.
32 minutes on the Wii Fit Plus with 120 calories burned.
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.

Enjoyable and reasonable S day today. Total lbs lost so far: 2.
Today wasn't one of my 5 workout days, but I missed Friday so I did 20 minutes Wii Fit Plus with 70 calories burned. Got at least 3 new high scores/#1 slots.

Round 1: Day 15
12-08-2009
Failure. I almost had success on my No S day, but I did choose to eat one of my dd's oatmeal choc. chip cookies because I know they'll be gone by Saturday. That was the only sweet or snack that I had. I didn't have 2nds at any meal.
30 minutes Wii Fit Plus with 119 calories burned.

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.

Round 2: Day 1
12-14-2009
Total weight loss during Round 1 (21 days) = 4lbs.
Failure on eating. Went to bed successful, but got up around midnight starving and ate some potato salad and skim milk.
( I can't BELIEVE I've done 3 weeks of No S and Wii Fit already. It's gone pretty fast. Wow.)
23 minutes on Wii Fit Plus with 93 calories burned.

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.

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.
