I eat breakfast every day around 7:30AM and dinner every evening around 6PM. (We care for an elderly person, so we're on a pretty fixed schedule!) I allow two smaller lunches -- usually around 11-11:30ish and 2:30ish. Some days I miss one of those because I'm not hungry - but I always allow for them...

OK, back on the NoS wagon. I thought I did reasonably well last week, but I actually gained four pounds, which is certainly unhappymaking. My heaviest weight *ever* was 247, and I am almost there again. A year ago, I said that if I could not get this under control, I would contact a physician and go...

Christmas was an S day. Actually did pretty well with food... one slip at 8Pm with a sandwich that I really did not need so close to bedtime. But otherwse--- pretty reasonable day. Today is NOT an S day, and I'm on track so far. Bfast -- usual cereal (oat bran, wheat bran, flax seed, quinoa), half a...

bfast - usual cereal

lunch

appetizer munchies: guacamole, cheese and crackers, nuts

dinner - baked stuffed shrimp; twice baked potato; green beans; salad; chocolate torte

Good thing today is an S day, or it would surely be red. Bfast - omelet with cheese, homefries, rye toast, a few bites of pancake. Lunch - avocado, cheddar, salsa, tortilla Afternoon munchies - handful of pistachios; more than one taste of chocolate while I cooked; cookie. (Given the cooking, not to...

Bfast - the usual cereal Lunch - manhattan clam chowder Snack - cookies and milk Dinner - wonderful dinner at a new restaurant - scallops appetizer, lobster and mussel stew as an entree, and panna cotta with quince and pomegranate for dessert. Overdid it a bit on the bread, but overall a reasonable ...

It's actually firmer than that -- the cheese is pressed so that most of the moisture is out - the texture is almost like cheddar cheese. You slice it into cubes/bars, and then brown it in a frying pan with a little oil, then (usually) mix it with some sort of vegetable curry. I found a brand I like ...

I really like this tool! I've thought of many "improvements" -- each of which would make it more complicated and probably less useful. (Like a way to capture a numeric for some trackers... how many times you did x, or how many minutes of exercise, or whatever) But one feature which really would be n...

I did have some seconds on the chinese food for dinner... because I forgot about the "no seconds" rule, and...

Very good day. B'fast burrito (scrambled eggs, onions, tortilla, hot sauce) Lunch - at the mall -- saag panir and vindaloo veggies (pureed spinach with cubes of fresh cheese, and a VERY spicy veg curry) and rice Dinner - salmon, potatoes, asparagus, salad Bedtime - kefir and some juice Able to walk ...

Sambar is a South Indian soup... a spicy vegetable soup. I had some left over from last week - I made dosas (sort of like crepes), which are stuffed with a dry potato curry and served with coconut chutney and sambar. It's a lovely lovely food.... but making the dosas is hard! Panir is a fresh indian...

Started a HabitCal, and like that feature very much! Today B;fast Cereal and juice Lunch #1 sambar and panir Lunch #2 Dinner onion soup, bread, salad If we used numbers rather than R-Y-G for status, today would have been an 8 rather than a 10 -- because I did have another piece of bread, which was s...

This way of eating makes SO much sense to me. I thought about waiting until after the holidays.... but why wait? Christmas and Christmas Eve will be S days for me... and as for the others, I am a whole lot better off having them as no-S days!
