I had one slip on Tuesday, a friend gave us a beautiful cake in honor of our new baby. I ate a lot of cake! Lol Wednesday was a success. Breakfast, eggs and leftover chicken coffee Lunch: salad with beef and veggies Coffee with TBS collagen and 1/2 c almond milk Dinner: beef and cabbage and potatoes...

So far so good, it's been a successful week although I haven't lost weight. Inflammation in my joints, feet and face is gone though! I've had a lot of body pain since I gave birth last month but I have felt nearly pain free since starting back on NoS. Not overeating and no sweets I'm sure played a h...

Robers5

I'm feeling much better health wise although my NoS has started pretty sloppy. It was my birthday on Sunday and I definitely over ate and had too much alcohol. I am so happy that it wasn't as bad as it could've been knowing me. I have struggled with compulsive eating and drinking for most of my life...

Robers5

Doing pretty good. I'm adding one snack a day because my hubby gets home late and I am breast feeding etc.

Lunch: taco salad with beef and salsa
Snack: apple, 2 tbs peanut butter
Dinner: chicken stir fry with zoodles and veggies

Here I go again:) Of course a lot has happened since I last checked in: I had my 4th baby, my grandma died, we are fixing up our little house.. I'm thankful for today and ready to work on growing in the virtue of temperance. Today is an S day. 2 eggs, ground beef, coffee for breakfast Sunday treat w...

Eggs, pork, avocado
Salad and sardines
Beef, veggies and roasted sweet potatoes

20 minute prenatal workout.

Friday was green! I stuck to my plan with the addition of 3 bananas (one banana per meal). That's 2 too many I'd say and not great for keeping my blood sugar stable but at least I didnt eat between meals. Saturday was a good S day, not over the top. I had eggs and avocado for breakfast and then had ...

Robers5

Yes I did have my 20 week ultrasound and it was just amazing to see my little baby, moving, sucking his/her thumb, and healthy! We are going to wait to find out the gender at birth:) The last 2 days my eating was way off...grazing...full blown red days. So I'm marking them red and moving on. I think...

Robers5

Ok...so it has been so long since I posted and want to get back to regular check-ins because it helps me so much!
I'm 20 weeks now and doing well! I just really, really want to finally put 21 days in a row together of green days!

So here I go:)
Today is green so far!

Robers5

I was unfortunately quite grumpy and sharp to my husband as soon as he got home from work...I apologized and he was very patient and kindly handled dinner. Today was thankfully a NoS success and actually very sweet with my girls. Lots of outside time despite the cold and wind! Eggs on toast + avocad...

Robers5

April thank you! It's so heartwarming to hear from someone who's been there:)

Robers5

Well, my toddler inexplicably woke up at 1 am last night...she was ready to chat, play, eat and put on her shoes! I got her to go back to sleep around 3 am. This morning I felt like Clint Eastwood from Gran Torrino/Nick Nolte from anything....so there has not been "meditation before the kids wake up...

Robers5

Traci this is great! Good for you, I'm totally in:)

Robers5

My goals are to keep life peaceful by not over committing myself to too many activities. If I break down my chores into small doable tasks each day I can avoid my typical mountain sized load of laundry or every single dish being dirty at once. I have a limited time alone so instead hiding in my room...

Robers5

Hello NoS friends:) I am starting a new topic to renew my commitment to live and eat with moderation. I really need to kick the sugar habit and improve my health because I am 10 weeks pregnant with my 4th child and my blood sugar has been a bit high. As many parents out there know, life with 3 kids ...

Robers5

Thanks everyone:)
I'm about 6 weeks along and as of yet I have no nausea, thankfully!
I've made bone broth and got some good ingredients and this week I'm focusing on feeding myself and my family well.
My goals today:
20 minute prenatal workout
3 healthy meals + vitamins
Plenty of water
Get outside

Robers5

Well...I'm pregnant! My fourth! Wow...a surprise for sure but a very good one:) I am excited to tweak my NoS system for nutrient density to support my baby. And no drinking or overdoing the sweets as I've been over the holidays is a welcome change. So here are my pregnancy Mods...(advice is welcome ...

Robers5

I had a great weekend with family:) my husband and I did our favorite activities together: talk, nap, play guitar, read, run around the yard with our little girls...and eat delicious ribs!! Only 1 glass of wine on Saturday and 2 on Sunday...I'm feeling so much better with less alcohol so I think my ...

Thanks Auto, I hope you have a great time with family! My weight today is 146.5. My pre-baby weight was 139. My goal is to not keep creeping up in size. Really I just want to take much better care of my health and soul and not teach my girls through example that bingeing and dieting is ok or the nor...

Robers5

I haven't checked in for a while...I also have not been NoSing very consistently either. So I will be checking in daily again to help me stay on track. I'd really like to put together 21 days of consistent NoS days. The only extra S day for me this month is Thanksgiving. Also, I'm re-working Glass C...

Robers5

I definitely had a No S fail on Tuesday, I snacked before dinner and ate sweets. But I'm very glad that I didn't get demoralized and carry on like that for days. I would like to get to 21 days of NoS with no fails and I'm glad to start again. I took Automatedeating's advice and got a mineral and ele...

Robers5

Auto, thank you so much for taking the time to give me your advice! It sounds very good, I'm going to look for the electrolytes you mentioned and I found a good source for grass fed cow liver and bones as well as cod liver oil for all the nutrients you mentioned. I really appreciate your mom to mom ...

Robers5

I added more veggies today, most came from our fall garden....b: eggs and avocado. L: pasta with meat sauce and left over oatmeal lol. D: stir fry with red cabbage, kale and sweet potatoes.

It was a good day:)

Robers5

Thank you Auto! I have a quick question for any NoS mamas out there. I have been breastfeeding for over 5 consecutive years without a break in between children. I nursed while pregnant and then I tandem nursed my toddler and newborn! I am still nursing my 18 month old. I am feeling very depleted and...

Robers5

I meant *patience* is key lol

Robers5

Thanks for the encouragement everyone:) I was humbled this weekend by my family's outpouring of love for me on my birthday. Saturday and Sunday were full of treats and great family time. I am so blessed! Today is the beginning of week 3! Now I'd like to make sure that I add plenty of veggies to my m...

Robers5

Alright Rea! I recently joined again too and I'm so happy I did. It's probably the right time for you! It's good to prove once again to ourselves that diets don't work. Patients is key. Have a great first day:)

Robers5

Day 10 No S success and day 8 of Glass Ceiling!
5 pounds down, I'm feeling better and getting into the swing of not eating out of boredom or eating late into the night! I am feeling more detached from food yet enjoying each meal more with my family:)

Robers5

I had my first week of NoS success and 5 out of 7 days of Glass Ceiling. I am so grateful! I had a beautiful weekend with my family. We planted apple and peach trees in our yard and had a bonfire later that night to roast weenies and make s'mores. It doesnt get better than that! We had a St Francis ...

Robers5

Friday was another success but I do feel that my dinner plate was overly full. And I saved chips from dinner for movie night with family which felt snacky....however I'm counting it a success because it could've fit on my plate and it was pre planned. This is my first S day and I'm feeling really go...

Robers5

Another NoS and Glass Ceiling success! B: eggs on toast, 1/2 avocado. L: tuna sandwich, 1/2 avocado, cut carrots, apple slices, peanut butter. D: roasted chicken, potatoes. 1 can of hard cider I'm feeling better. It's been very busy and I had a late night of work and my children have a cold but I st...

Robers5

Today was a success! ( NoS and no alcohol today) Although my day was poorly planned I managed to stay on track food-wise. I made the mistake of taking my hungry children out for errands and I ended up stopping for fast food. I spent too much time distracted and not spending quality time with my litt...

Robers5

Day 2: NoS Success Glass Ceiling Success B: Porridge with bananas and walnuts. L: 2 small tuna sandwiches. D: spaghetti with meat sauce and popcorn lol It was difficult not eating more spaghetti because it's my favorite dinner. I saved room for popcorn to watch the comedic presidential "debate" with...

Robers5

Great advice Auto....the 2 can sparkling water is doable for sure:)

Robers5

Last night I ended up having a third glass of wine before bed. And as is typical with drinking before bed I fell asleep quickly but woke up around 1 am and couldnt sleep well after that. It causes anxiety for me. This morning I was groggy but I am glad I didn't overeat as well. I'm trying to be hone...

Robers5

Thanks Auto, as always, for your encouragement! I felt great today! It was a bit tricky near dinner but I drank a lot of water..my little kids were ravenous and ate really well.. Its wonderful to eat when you're really hungry and there is such gratitude for the food and those sharing the meal! I'm t...

Robers5

Day 1 Success
Breakfast: eggs and avocado
Lunch: salad with meat, nuts and olives
Dinner: beef and brocolli with sliced fruit for dessert and 8oz wine

Robers5

I've been fairly immoderate with eating and in other ways since I last checked in this summer. I dont have the peace of heart that I feel when I live a moderate lifestyle. So, that said, I'm glad to renew my No S habit of being today! It's fun! I'm not going to focus on losing weight so much and ins...

Robers5

So glad you're back! I'm starting again too and I have a long history of struggle with overeating. I lose track when I focus on the outcome of losing weight instead of the joy that grows from a daily habit of moderation. Love and peace are at the heart of that habit.

Robers5

As far as NoS goes, success...and let me say that I needed a "win" somewhere because life has been very difficult for the last 2 weeks! I know I'm in good company though...I am thinking of the hardships that so many people are enduring right now and I am offering up all my pains with yours right now...

Robers5

Thank you automatedeating! I also have to laugh at myself! I am the most scattered person out there and I'm always writing goals for myself that get totally sidetracked or that are impossible! Yes, sleep sounds good...is there a time when sleep happens again??lol I just like this NoS thing because i...

Robers5

Thanks for the great responses!! :) Success so far...it was a bit easy because I took an S day on day two in order to celebrate my daughter's birthday! Our home life has been quite hectic lately: my mother-in-law has moved in to our 2 bedroom house, my husband's job is crazy as is mine due to the re...

Robers5

Its been a good long while since I've checked in. I am re-committing to NoS because temperance is a virtue that I really need to develop. I struggle with gluttony, swinging from extreme to extreme. I diet strictly for a short period of time, then go back to gluttony...I recognize that gluttony leads...

Robers5

Thanks Soprano, my kiddos are doing much better today:)

Robers5

Hey Candace:) thanks for the tips and for saying hi. So...yesterday was a Red day despite my preemptive strategizing. I got completely overwhelmed with my sick babies, the laundry was and still is a mile high, every room in my house is a mess:( I had a "what the heck" attitude by mid-afternoon and c...

Robers5

Thanks Ladybird and Gingerpie:) Today is day 3! My goal today is to keep things simple and to be the best mom I can. My older 2 kids are sick with colds and last night I slept very little. I'm praying to just be patient and to stick to No S and not let fatigue be an excuse to stress eat. Thanks agai...

Robers5

Hello :D This is day 2 for me. I am so grateful I discovered No S. I have literally tried every diet from Master Cleanse (in which you only drink spicy lemonade 3x a day for two weeks) to veganism to Keto. Moderation hasn't occurred to me until now lol. I am trying to grow in the virtue of temperanc...
