Blueskighs Check-In
Well this is day number 8. I get to mark green on habitcal. YAY!
SUCCESS
Today was:
B: 2eggs scrambled w/1 tsp. EVOO, 1 soy sausage, 1 c. plain yogurt, 1 c. blueberries
L: 1 Amy's Tofu Brown Rice Bowl, 1 block of Baked tofu, Steamed veggies: Carrots Broccoli Red Onion w/ 1 Tsp. EVOO
D: 1 bowl of homemade Dal
Yum! Yum!
I felt pretty comfortable that I was going to be able to pop back into my N days. Although I enjoyed my first full weekend of S days I was actually kind of looking forward to getting back into the routine of N days and it was easy ... knowing of course that there are two S days to treat me at the end of the week.
I love the No S diet. I guess when I finished the book last Monday night I had made the decision to do it. I have found the clear boundaries around mealtimes on N days to be a great stress reliever.
I think I must have often had the inner question ... what do I do with food?
With No S I have a real clear defined structure with plenty of variety to keep things interesting. Genius. Sheer Genius is all I can say ...

Day 15
SUCCESS
B: eggs, tofu sausage, yogurt, blueberries
L: Amy's Brown Rice tofu bowl, baked tofu, steamed broccoli, carrots, red onions with EVOO
D: homemade dal
I noticed I was a bit grumpy this morning and wanted a chai tea latte. It was fairly easy to say no to myself and get on with my day. For me those drinky things are reserved for my S days ... anyway ...
I had a smaller bowl of soup for dinner than I've been having the past two weeks. I noticed by last Friday night I was not getting as hungry. So I am going to reduce my dinners ...but just a tad ... and I mean a tad ...
Things are going well. I don't really check in with exerise because it is not a problem for me. I am one of those people who think going to the gym is like going to Astroworld ... all those funky machines that do strange things to your body!
I can't help it ... I am a treadmill elliptical nerd. I like to get in there and play with all the programs... what will it do to me if I punch this button? I will come home and tell my husband ... you have to try that machine on the end of the leg machine row it is just so cool... he just smiles and lovingly rolls his eyes.
What can I say? we really have a nice dry sauna at our gym and my water bill went down over 10 dollars a month because I go almost every day and take showers when I am done.
I don't necessarily go for long ... I do 4 15 minute weight workouts a week, two 35 dynamic interval training sessions and allow for an optional 3rd cardio workout if I want to do it .. other wise I walk around the block or run up and down the stairs when I get the chance ...

resting52,
Hi! Actually I don't drink any wine or alcohol
But that is just me. My husband loves wine but he is not on the diet.
So I really can't answer that one,

healthy eating
You eat such healthy food! I am really impressed. Hopefully I will get there, too. Even though I'm just starting no s, I feel it really is a liberating diet - it gives you a sense of calmness and control, except on s days. I'll have to work on those.

Gracie,
that is so funny ... to hear just coming off of my S days when I was having all my treaties! you know! BUT other than my treats I admit I do eat pretty healthy. I have done a lot of crazy things with food to get here ... but maybe in the end I can say it was all worth it! And yes the No S diet is very liberating!
OrganicGal,
thank you for your friendly comments about my blog. I just LOVE this NO S thing and guess I am a bit excited!
Glad you both are here!

Day 22
SUCCESS
B: eggs, yogurt, soy sausage, blueberries
L: homemade brown dal
D: Amy's brown rice tofu bowl with block of baked tofu
WHEW! This weekend I got really full with my saturday lunch/dinner meal and then Sunday I ate too much pizza .... ok and MAYBE I overdid it on the mini peanutbutter cups ....
This is finetuning though ... I think I am having to adjust my portions ... what I think is enough to get me through is starting to become too much.
Today I was not willing to eat less breakfast, but I cut back a little bit on lunch and dinner. I already cannot stand not being hungry. So I am starting to get that this eyeballing our plate and figuring out the right amount is a bit of skill and practice.
But that being said wonderful to fall out of another weekend right back onto HABIT!

Congrats on reaching your 21 Days. When I grow up, I want to be just like you. No wine for me this weekend but all of the crap I had at my nephew's birthday should have given me the same buzz seeing and how it made my feet swell up
Keep up the great work,

I haven't had a donut in about 3 years! They are my biggest enemy, even on no S. I LOVED that picture, I started salivating immediately. There are just some things that are on a scary pedestal all by themselves, and donuts are mine. Oh, the smell of donut grease in the morning...
Congratulations on doing so well!

Resting 52,
I had looked up recipes on-line too and they all sounded too complicated to me too!
But we took this cooking class and Wala it all made sense ...let me see if I can explain ...
take red or green lentils, plan for the red lentils to cook 30 minutes, if you are doing green, depending on how fresh they are they will take 30-45 minutes.
wash 1 to 1 1/2 cup lentils,
put in pot with 4 cups water, salt to taste (1-2 teaspoonish), and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, if you have any heeng (an indian spice we get at the restaurant we go to) put in 1 to 2 pinches
bring the water to a boil,
with the lid off keep on a high simmer,
after it's been simmering about 10 minutes pour in tomato sauce (2 tablespoons to 1/2 cup to taste), the one I used is completely unseasoned so account for salt if the one you use has salt, and 1 pretty finely chopped tomato,
add 2 more cups water,
bring back up to a boil,
if it needs 2 more cups of water add when the whole pot has been cooking for twenty minutes bringing it back to boil and then back down to a high simmer
MEANWHILE
chop about 1/2 onion, some serrano chili if you like spicy, about an inch of fresh ginger root, and garlic ... chop the stuff as fine as you can or want ...
heat a skillet and put in about 2 tbsp good oil ... I use olive - when the oil is hot throw in some cumin seeds, if the pan and oil is hot they should start popping, throw in the chopped onion, green chile, ginger and garlic, saute about 3 minutes.
throw it in the finished soup.
THIS probably SOUNDS much more complicated than it is when you actually go through the motions,
let me know if you have any questions and if you try it how it turns out. THis is one of my staples.
IMPORTANT: for the green lentils throw in a teaspoon of good curry powder in the beginning with the turmeric and salt. Also the green lentils may need to cook longer if they are not fresh .... APPARENTLY like the ones that I bought at my health food store last week
but the soup was still YUMMY,

I had looked up recipes on-line too and they all sounded too complicated to me too!
But we took this cooking class and Wala it all made sense ...let me see if I can explain ...
take red or green lentils, plan for the red lentils to cook 30 minutes, if you are doing green, depending on how fresh they are they will take 30-45 minutes.
wash 1 to 1 1/2 cup lentils,
put in pot with 4 cups water, salt to taste (1-2 teaspoonish), and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, if you have any heeng (an indian spice we get at the restaurant we go to) put in 1 to 2 pinches
bring the water to a boil,
with the lid off keep on a high simmer,
after it's been simmering about 10 minutes pour in tomato sauce (2 tablespoons to 1/2 cup to taste), the one I used is completely unseasoned so account for salt if the one you use has salt, and 1 pretty finely chopped tomato,

You are such an inspiration! I'm not a vegetarian, although I really do love veggies, and I really enjoy fish and poultry. I eat a lot less red meat and when I do eat it I limit the amounts. One of my daughters-in-law is a vegetarian (she may even be a Vegan, I'm not certain) and her father owns a butcher shop. She's a vegetarian because growing up around all that meat just made her gag, poor thing. My son eats meat, so I'm not sure who cooks. It will be interesting to see if our new grandson (born 01/08/08) will eat meat.blueskighs wrote:Day 29

Diane,
thank you. being/becoming vegan/vegetarian is a pretty personal choice and it took me years of wanting to before i actually figured out how to actually feed myself properly.
I think the internet is helping a lot because people can get support, recipes and information on how to eat properly.
yeah, it will be intereseting to see how your grandson turns out before my husband became vegetarian, we had a deal, I would be glad to cook everything but the meat ... he mostly went out when he wanted meat
that was ok, he started loving my vegan cooking and so now he is vegetarian,
I checked out your website, you have a lot of interesting products there,

Hey you guys, thank you for the anniversary acknowledgement, for this chick from a broken home with all the debris scattered throughout the years of my life, a ten year wedding anniversary ... kind of huge ... and kind of makes me REALLY HAPPY ... really deep inside ....
Kwan, Beckycan,
Yes EVOO is extra virgin olive oil, I think it is a Rachel Rayism ... I think that is where I heard it, my husband used to watch the cooking channel until we went vegan ....
anyway ... EVOO as you can tell BIG PART OF MY LIFE .... unfiltered like white bread and white rice blah blah unfiltered EVOO has much more nutrients ...
Day 31

tuesday and today were really easy with food. I was just really busy and really did not think much about it all. Kind of like that.

L: mixed greens, carrots, tomatoes, black olives, avocado, and tofu and EVOO ... dayum ... they seemed to have stop carrying my fave brand of tofu at Jimbos what a disappointment ... this one is not so tasty.

Yekes!! So I will pick myself up and move on. Day 25 will be back on track.

Jamie and Resting52,
Thank you! I am so glad that No S is here and we are doing this together!
And Jamie, I cannot imagine what it would be like at a restaurant, especially making a delicious new flavor of ice cream at 1:30 am. The great thing is you got back on habit. Oh and me and my husband have a little "rule" if you are going to eat something you know that FOR WHATEVER REASON you think you shouldn't you better at least ENJOY IT! So I hope you ENJOYED that ice cream cone, it actually sounded kind of delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!
Day 32
SUCCESS
Today was probably the tuffest day I have had in a while. this morning and up until I ate my lunch and a little after I just pretty much wanted to EAT. I really believe it was become things have settle down and it was now to dive back into this project I had not been able to get to for a few weeks. There is just that inertia to overcome of getting into it again. ANYWAY once I bit the bullet ... funny thing was ... EAT? not now I'm busy goodness this can be a roller coaster ride!
B: yogurt, strawberries and walnuts ... picture on my blog ... www.nosdiet.blogspot.com
L: indian brown rice with pea cauliflower and tofu curry
D: mixed greens, carrots, tomatoe, avocado, black olive, EVOO salad... been eating this a lot lately, planning to have another for lunch tomorrow ... love these, when we went to Italy a few years ago we were at this snack hahahha get it SNACK shop, anyway ... they made this lovely salad with everything but the avocado and tofu ... I LOVED IT ... I used to make it all the time ... but then I started adding avocado and tofu and made a meal out of it, when avocados are in season which they probably will be now until at least August ...can't wait for the Reeds, I eat a lot of them ...
probably from my days of being RAW!

Congratulations on your wieght loss and your sticking with it. I just finished reading your blog, and was really impressed. As an English teacher, I'd give you an Aplus, it's so well written.
I, too, have done many, many diets - I have a whole shelf full of diet books - but so far, find the nos to be the best yet. Even in a short time, (2 weeks) you feel somehow liberated from your bad eating habits, and you don't think about food all the time. (I would be planning my next meal while I was eating my current one.) I wish I could fast forward a year and that we would be congratulating each other on a year well done - let's make it happen!

yes, i did.
However, I am aware that there is a possibility, as it says in the book, if you look at your plate and you think GEEZ this is too much, you might JUST BE RIGHT!

as Reinhard said on another thread:
and then he said this on another threadThere is no magic here. You lose weight on no-s because it's a shortcut to calorie restriction. If you somehow aren't eating less calories, then you won't lose weight. But on No-s it should be very obvious whether you are doing this. It should visually jump out at you. Do you feel like it is obvious?
Yup, I am definitely going to consider cutting down the size of my breakfasts TODAY! you guys are great!You have good "mealing" habits down, and you see that your plates are excessive. The sight of this excess bothers you. This isn't a problem, this is great.

When I first lost weight I had the WORST elephant skin I'd ever seen. I almost considered plastic surgery (not that I could afford it, but I considered it). Now they just look like healthy old vegan hippie lady thighs, which is ok by me. Plus I'm at the stage where I don't CARE ANYMORE WHAT ANYONE THINKS. BITE ME, SLOWLY AND WITH VIGOR.
Have a nice trip!

Blue - the splash of soy is so good!!! As you know the Ezekial is rather tree barky and the Greek yogurt is very thick -- this mixture with out the soy is too......paste like........the soy makes it wetter and gives it a nice flavor so it goes down more easily.
I hope you have a splendid weekend -- Happy Anniversary to you and your husband!
Love, L

fkwan,
yeah my pinto beans are variable it depends on how much liquid i put in the pressure cooker ... I didn't think I put that much last night ... but there they were all soupy! They tasted good and I just boat motor them to get the "broth" more thick.
I LOVE BEANS TOO! yesterday I found an Indian grocery next door and got new kinds of beans and lentils .. tonight I hard Urid Dal ... with Spinach. It was really yummy! I might as Flipturn suggests put some of these recipes up on my blog.
Yeah My thighs are kind of crepey... ah well ... it doesn't bother me like it used too. After a year of doing weights I do feel more comfortable in my body though.
Resting, Lola, Fkwan,
thank you for the good wishes for my anniversary! I am really looking forward and with NO S ... no stress ...!
and yes I am planning to spend the weekend unplugged but take my camera for food shots and then hopefully put those up on Monday or Tuesday in one fell swoop!
You guys are so great! I feel like I have this new group of really COOL friends.
Lola, I am going to get up the courage to try that yogurt and ezekial with soy, next week ... when you eat that is that all you eat for breakfast?
Everyone have a great weekend!

Blue -- You're COOL too!! I can't wait to see your new photos from your trip!
Yep, I pretty much just eat the Ezekial w/ greek yogurt and a splash of soy.....plus black tea or a cappuccino.
I've been eating WAY too much bread here in the Netherlands. When I get back to the US I'm cutting back on the toast and bready sandwiches, I don't know how the Dutch stay so slim, they eat bread at every single meal it seems.
Can't wait to hear about your trip! Love, L

Lola,
I am definitely going to try the Ezekiel and yogurt with soymilk ... in the fall when all of the berries are out of season!
but it sounds intriguing ...
our trip was really nice, yesterday was so depressing ..oy back to the "real world"
we went to the spa it is all back to nature and just a place we love to go and RELAX it is the only place I totally unplug.
we had a lot of fun and laughs and love ... also some really good food ..
NO S seems to work well on the road ... especially weekend trips!!!!!!!!

frozen peanut butter cups!
God I love those peanut butter cups!
It was just another good day. I need to be grateful they are starting to add up I got a really sweet mother's day card today from my husband's daughter ... it was really a surprise. It touched me and at the same time I felt uncomfortable. I have had so much loss in my own life sometimes I feel awkward when people reach out to me, like however I respond it won't be the right way. ANYWAY ... honestly, it felt really nice.
We have talked off and on the boards about there being something spritual about No S. I just can't help but think there is. After being pretty rigorous since I started seven short weeks ago things are just kind of opening up in my life in amazing ways... is this a coincidence. I tend to think not. I tend to think not.

Hey Blue,
Loved that last photo. YUM!
About the spiritual thing, I'm was thinking that we have so much more time freed up for other things instead of obsessing about the next thing we put, or don't put, in our mouths. Plus, in a sense, we have been set free from a life-sucking, destructive habit. I think the freedom allows us to realize that there is Something Special out there for us. I know I'm more at peace.
Resting

I am probably going to start eating sandwiches for a while instead of salads. I do this cycle in and out of different food preferences. Does anyone else?

Hi Blue,
Yes, I see myself cycling with different foods too. I eat salads every day for lunch for a while, then I just have had it with them! Last night I made pizza because I have been serving the traditional meat and potatoes kind of meals for a while and I am tired of that. I just didn't want meat last night. So, we'll probably have pasta tonight, then maybe some fish the next night, and we'll see from there.

I do it too Blue! I just get tired of eating the same things all the time and like you said...then it's not satisfying any more. Time for a change. I need to start doing that with my lunches at work. They're not satisfying me any more as I'm eating the same thing every day.

Your goal sounds awesome...inspiring, Blue. You're right, that is another reason why none of us should be using the scale as our guide to our weight and health...or at least not as our ONLY method of measurement.

Resting,
they don't just look fabulous they were a big hit with my husband too... that always makes me feel good!
I appreciate your support about the personal trainer, I have done tons of different things through the years to get exercise but I just thought now that I am really saving so much money with NO S this is something I really have wanted to do. My next session is tomorrow! It is amazing how hard he works me. Much harder than I would ever think to challenge myself. I have left the last two times, the first being the intro, DRENCHED.
I guess it is also shocking to realize how much $$$$$$$ I have wasted on binging and overeating. THe savings are going to pay completely the cost of the trainer. Oy!
fivesolas,
thank you for stopping by, they were pretty good! they are also pretty easy to make!

It was a much better Monday today and that was really nice. Things are kind of humming along. I think the effort that I have put into creating habit is actually starting to have some really big payoffs.
WHen I packed up my cookies and put the rest of them in the freezer, it seemed like the most natural thing in the world to do. Like why would you do anything else?
Finish them off? BINGE ON THEM? what a strange idea.... LOL

I appreciate your support about the personal trainer, I have done tons of different things through the years to get exercise but I just thought now that I am really saving so much money with NO S this is something I really have wanted to do. My next session is tomorrow! It is amazing how hard he works me. Much harder than I would ever think to challenge myself. I have left the last two times, the first being the intro, DRENCHED.
I guess it is also shocking to realize how much $$$$$$$ I have wasted on binging and overeating. THe savings are going to pay completely the cost of the trainer. Oy!
fivesolas,
thank you for stopping by, they were pretty good! they are also pretty easy to make!

It was a much better Monday today and that was really nice. Things are kind of humming along. I think the effort that I have put into creating habit is actually starting to have some really big payoffs.
WHen I packed up my cookies and put the rest of them in the freezer, it seemed like the most natural thing in the world to do. Like why would you do anything else?
Finish them off? BINGE ON THEM? what a strange idea.... LOL
who is this woman .... toodootoodoootooodoooo (twilight zone music)

A great but VERY busy day. I will sleep good tonight. I had another session with my personal trainer today, he told me last friday he was going to work my legs and did he ever. But it was fun. He really does a lot of variety and it is very challenging. Once again I was pretty much dripping wet when we were done. He seems to get a kick out of the fact that I enjoy it so much!
