Hello, I lost weight with this diet the first time around, and have been successful at keeping some of the principles. But I am starting to lose ground and lose good habits, so I'm going to post for 21 days, being strict again, to get back on track. Today is the first day. Day 1 - SUCCESS M1 - bowl ...

Day 6 - Diet, FAILURE; Exercise, FAILURE

Oh, dear. But the diet failure was a handful of raisins after dinner. The exercise failure is more troubling. Next week: No failures of exercise or diet.

Day 7 & 8 - S-DAYS

Flnu

Day 5 - Diet, Success; Exercise, Failure

M1 - Coffee.
M2 - Chicken alfredo. Piece of bread. Decaf.
M3 - 3 tacos. Chips and guac. (All fit on the plate though.)

Exercise for sure tomorrow; I am just exhausted tonight.

Flnu

Hey, you're doing great; especially given that it sounds like an emotionally fraught period.

Flnu

Day 4 - Diet=SUCCESS; Exercise=SUCCESS

M1 - Coffee. Breakfast burrito.
M2 - Decaf. Chicken wrap.
M3 - Curries and rice.

Flnu

Day 3 - No-S Succes; Ex Success

M1 - Coffee. Peanut butter and honey on a piece of toast.
M2 - Chicken alfredo. Apple.
M3 - Leftovers: 2 slice of quiche. 2 mini-burritos.

Still shugging with broom to build habit while awaiting sledgehammer.

Flnu

Day 2 -Diet, Success ; Exercise, Success M1 - Coffee. Yogurt. M2 - Burrito. M3 - Turkey. Mashed potatoes. Gravy. Broccoli. Misc. - This time I'm not cutting out the diet cokes, because it makes me feel too deprived. 2 diet cokes. Ex - 14 min of broom practice (haven't purchased hammer yet), but want...

Day 1 - S-DAY Ok, I stopped checking in although I didn't stop no-s-ing but I've certainly been slipping a little more. So, I'm going to go back to daily check-ins, with a 21 day goal. Felicitously timed for after the holidays. I'm also going to add shovel glove exercise. I'm less sure that this wil...

Oct 23, 24 FAILURES I was undone on the 23rd by a work lunch at an Ethiopian restaurants that literally had no plates. In retrospect, I should have created some alternate rule, like, no more the 3 pieces of injera, but instead I took a little (a lot) of liscense to cheat. And then extended the lisce...

Oct 20 & 21 - S-DAYS

Oct 22 - my first FAILURE

Husband made chocolate chip cookies after dinner. Smelled so lovely.

M1 - Yogurt. Coffee.
M2 - Club sandwich. Carrots.
M3 - Chinese dumplings. Green beans.

Failure - Chocolate chip cookies (and batter).

Flnu

Oct 19 - SUCCESS albeit grudgingly because I would like ice cream now and not tomorrow.

M1 - Oatmeal with berries.
M2 - Chicken-salad sandwich. Chips.
M3 - Little bits of left-overs: Lamb & spinach over rice. Cheese tortellini. Asparagus.

Flnu

Heh. Baby steps...that I've eaten breakfast on all but one no-S-day is a major, major change. But I will look forward to a leisurely breakfast as a possible future goal. Thank you. Oct 18 - SUCCESS M1 - Oatmeal with berries. M2 - Croque monsieur. Blue cheese salad. M3 - Lasagna. Zucchini. I would ve...

Oct 17 - SUCCESS

M1 - Banana.
M2 - Pork burrito.
M3 - Curried lamb and spinach over rice.

I've got to get some breakfast bars or something. The problem (in addition to years of habit) is that I'm always in a hurry to get out the door in the morning and "don't have time" to eat.

Flnu

OCT 16 - SUCCESS

M1 - Oatmeal.
M2 - Sushi. Rice. Soup.
M3 - Cheese ravioli in bolognese. Green beans.

Not eaten: Cake nor cookies at work. Neither looked very good so not much of a victory, but still, probably would have had something previously.

Flnu

OCT 15 - SUCCESS

M1 - Skipped. :( Poor plannning.
M2 - Pasta bolognese.
M3 - Gnocchi & salmon. Asparagus.

Religously eating breakfast is probably the biggest change for me. Ok, that an no 2nds. Or sweets.

Flnu

Oct 14 - S-DAY

Let's just say it was fortunate that this was an S-day.

Flnu

Oct 13 - S-DAY

Brunch - Dim sum.
Dinner - Picnic. Fried chicken, potato salad, pasta salad, rice-krispy squares, strawberries, banana bread, more potato salad.

I wasn't an *idiot* but I'm not sure I was smart.

Flnu

Oct 12 - SUCCESS M1 - 1 slice pizza. Coffee. M2 - Pathetic vending machine granola bar. 75 cents I paid for this 3-bite bit of sawdust. Poor planning on my part. M3 - Fajitas. Mmm... I weighed when I shouldn't have, but I'm still happy to report that I've lost 6 lbs since I started, putting me 6 lbs...

Flnu

Hope you feel better soon.

Flnu

Oct 11 - SUCCESS M1 - Oatmeal. Coffee. M2 - Ham panini. Carrots. M3 - Again with the pizza...2 slices. A spoonful of dum gosht. Broccoli. I'm going to weight tomorrow and try not to be too disappointed if I've lost nothing. I promised myself I'd focus on habits this month, and adjustments (if need b...

Flnu

Thanks for the encouragement! This is definitely the easiest, least-thought-require approach to weight loss I've ever encountered. Oct 9 and 10 - SUCCESSES A little bit of funny businees on the 10th. We had pizza for dinner, a traditional weakness, and I had 3 slices and a bit of salad. While I didn...

Flnu

Welcome. Good luck! I'm new to the system, but so far so good.

Flnu

Oct 8 - SUCCESS I think today was a success, unless wine is off-limits. Had two glasses. Have an infestation/fumigation issue at home that necessitates drinking. I really don't like bugs. M1 - Oatmeal and berries. M2 - Ham sandwich. Olives. Tabbouleh. M3 - Dum gosht. Rice. Wax beans. 2 glasses of wi...

Oct 7 continued.

Dinner - Moon fish with papya salsa. Grilled zucchini. Wild rice. 2nds of everything.
Other - Mug o' cocoa. Basically sugared milk due to microwave mishap.

Flnu

Oct. 7 - S DAY The thing that is so far less-than-psychologically satisfying on S-days, is that I want to snack, for example, just because I can rather than because I want a snack. I'm hoping not to get the two wants confused. So far today: Lunch - Turkey sandwich. Coffee. Other - Toast and honey sl...

Flnu

Oct 6 - S DAY OK, how much fun is the first S-day? I had dinner tonight with someone on the South Beach diet, a very talkative someone, and I learned all about it. It sounds nuts; just not a long term option. My personal rule of thumb for all diets is: Can I see doing this long-term? The answer, of ...

Heh. The author also forgot about competition as a motivator. I greatly enjoy crushing the competition in my step classes, even though I'm the only who know it's a competition, so I really push. I also do a lot better at getting to the gym when I'm gunning for a specific time than "when I feel like ...

Oct 5 - SUCCESS

M1 - Granola. Coffee.
M2 - Caesar salad with chicken and onion crisps.
M3 - Beef & chicken burrito. Broccoli.

Looking forward to Saturday. Sweets! I'm thinking it'll be in the form of a luscious pastry with breakfast.

Flnu

Oct 4 - SUCCESS

M1 - Peanut butter & honey on toast.
M2 - Grilled salmon. Risotto. Spinach. Very rich.
M3 - More lasagna. Broccoli.

Flnu

Day 3 - SUCCESS

M1 - Oatmeal.
M2 - Chicken ravioli w/ crab alfredo. Bread.
M3 - Spaghetti bolognese. Spinach.

I would have guessed that "no sweets" would hurt the most, but so far "no 2nds" is leading the pack. Also? I seem to eat a lot of pasta.

Flnu

Day 2 - SUCCESS Am posting directly after dinner as additional motivation not to snack this evening. Today, was fine, with possible exception of gum. I've got no problems with gum in general, except that I wanted to test the fake-sugar-keeps-you-on-the-sugar-habit theory (I think it was posited in r...

Day 1 - SUCCESS This is a nice interface, by the way. I am a little embarrassed by checking in, but the more tools the better, probably. Also, I was glad to read the sample check in since didn't cotton to the plate-size issues. M1 - Oatmeal. Which I love. Don't usually eat breakfast, but I'll give i...
