Everyday Systems

Haven't been really working to hard staying on no s this week but finding that I pretty much am sticking to it without really trying. Did have a couple of brownies today but overall am eating less by snacking less. I have started eating an apple around midafternoon as if I don't I am starving by the...

Blueskighs, your eating is inspirational and thanks for posting and keeping eveyone encouraged on the forum! Rex

Today was a red day...big potluck for lunch at work today...ate seconds and sweets! Didn't have much for dinner though....I really need to get on a decreased calorie regime or I am never going to lose weight! I just don't seem to be able to quite get there yet. Maybe next week...

Well here it is the 5th...I've been doing pretty good...today was a failure becuase my coworker gave my some oriental food to try and I did! But it was midafternoon so had to count it as a snack...I wasn't very hungry at dinner though so had a small dish of food and piece of bread. I walked today at...

Haven't posted for a while...habical is doing well...however I do not feel like I have lost any weight! I feel I am eating too much at my three meals! I am going to try real hard this week to cut my calories and foods down...will see how it goes. I like that I don't have to think about food and have...

Long weekend wasn't too bad...today started off good, bowl of cereal, soy milk and banana. SF Chai mid morning. Lunch was kashi frozen dinner and SF Chai. Dinner was a little overboard, apple, 2 tacos with everything on them and 1 cup of yogurt. Could have, should have only had one taco...was somewh...

That is a long time to go between meals...I would not make it no matter how much I had for breakfast...I eat breakfast early around 6:30-7:00 so I have a mini meal at 10:00 which consists of one cup of homemade vegetable soup with tons of garlic in it! On the days we don't have soup I suffer through...

I think eating fruit with your meal is great...I would get away from calling it "dessert". For me to think of it as part of my meal and what fits on my plate is the key to the three meals. Sometimes I eat an apple as part of my dinner and eat it while I am cooking as I am sooop hungry. I count it on...

Friday seems to be my day I have the most trouble sticking to my plan. I think it is because they bring snacks over from the cookhouse on fridays and I don't get me morning cup of soup so I tend to go for whatever they bring over which usually is breakfast foods, fried chicken and this week it was p...

week was good except today....red day on habical...started too much food around and gave in to temptation...next week will keep on track!

Green day today...cereal, soup, chicken salad, chai, tad pai (made with halibut)

Friday was a big red day!! Started out with a healthy breakfast and lunch was a sandwich then it went down hill....it is our "Little Norway Festival" and there are food stands all over town with lots of goodies...I broke down and had a strawberry short cake and some pretzels. So big RED mark on habi...

Breakfast egg mcmuffin with hashbrown. Bowl of soup at 10:00 (mostly broth and garlic few veggies and chicken - had more than I usually do though) Lunch left over manwich (too much could not eat it all - threw away last few bites) dinner large bowl of frosted shredded wheat with milk and banana. Too...

blew it today...breakfast was healthy (and early!) oatmeal/flax with a dash of cinnomon and soy cream. Mid morning cup of soup (I count this as a scheduled mini meal as it is fresh home made daily, tons of whole garlic cloves, veggies, maybe a little meat or chicken and tons of broth.) Then by lunch...

Wow, got my 21 days all (all green and yellow) finished on monday and what do I do today on day 22...cave....had a brownie with small amount of vanilla ice cream for dessert tonight...darn just really wanted it. I have enjoyed the freedom of this eating plan and although did not lose any weight (sti...

What I find is that if I don't overeat or have really heavy or spicey foods I have hardly any hot flashes. If I eat a heavy meal I can pretty much count on having a hot flash or two in the next hour or so. I'm still struggling to keep my meal portions down and healthy. Rex

Weighed today as I only have only one S day left to hit my 21 days and not one pound lost! But I already knew that. What I have learned this last 21 days is that I can live without snacking or sweets. I won't starve to death between meals. I haven't lost any weight because I am putting to much calor...

Well this am I hopped on the scale and just what I thought....very same weight I started at 19 days ago....I was pretty sure I was not losing any weight by how much I was managing to eat on my 3 9" plates! I am going at it a little differently this next 21 days. Keeping to the same No S program but ...

Today was my "birthday" at work. As my real birthday is in January when our plant is shut down we have assigned birthday's to celebrate at work. I had already decided it had to be an S day. I had a piece of chocolate cake and icecream. And it was a large piece! Breakfast was healthy oatmeal with soy...

I too seem to be eating a whole lot at my meals.....not sure why, I guess because I always ate snacks between meals to keep me from getting too hungry and I think I have some sort of fear I will get too hungry and it doesn't really make sense because I do get hungry every evening and I get through i...

I am in the same boat. I think for some reason I am afraid I may get too hungry between meals. I usually am hungry in the evenings and it certainly isn't something I can't deal with so I'm not sure why I feel I have to eat 3 healthy sized meals. They fit on my plate but I either need to go down to r...

Breakfast lf vanilla yogurt, mango, 1/4 homemade granola. I cup soup broth with garlic. Lunch 2 slices rye bread, tomato, avocado, cheese, mayo. SF chai. Dinner two small bean and cheese burritos and strawberries with lf vanilla yogurt. Was busy today planting flowers and didn't think about eating u...

Today I had a breakfast biscuit and hashbrowns for breakfast, lunch was chicken breast and strawberries with yogurt. Dinner was a bowl of halibut chowder and 1 and 1/2 slice rye bread and 2 strawberries. I came close to snacking today though when at work there was some smoked salmon and I grabbed a ...

Today started with healthy oatmeal but lunch was a couple of crispitos and a chicken breast and sf chai tea. Dinner apple and taco salad minus the tortilla or chips. I'm hungry right now (9:00PM) but usually am in the evenings. I need to concentrate on eating healthier foods, when I'm in a hurry I j...

Wow, seems like I have been eating all day today...started with egg/sausage muffin...then toast with cheese and jam then snacks at baby shower, cake and a maple bar then dinner was a buffet at a retirement party! I did not go back for seconds but I feel like I have had a lot of food today! Hopefully...

Well made it through another week. All green! Hasn't been too difficult not snacking or having seconds...however I think I am putting too much on my plate! I tend to fill it quite full knowing I won't be eating until my next meal. I am going to enjoy my upcoming S days and next week try and eat more...

I am on day 10 and have done pretty good. All green and yellow on my HabitCal. Today I had a pretty high calorie and not the healthiest breakfast and lunch, when I got to dinner I was hungry and rather than eat my apple while I prepared something healthy I ate what the kids had fixed. Mac and cheese...

I go to water aerobics 3 mornings a week and have done so for many years. I am trying to get back to walking and lifting some weights (may try shovelglove). Today was a nice sunny spring day and my coworker and I walked the road that follows the water and faces one of the most gorgeous mountain rang...

I'm on my second week and really finding this is a great eating plan. I was so use to having those healthy snacks (always planned for two a day) I never got hungry. Or if I did I would find something to eat immediately. I was also eating whatever was offered at work on top of my regular snacks! Now ...

Hi, I live on a small island in southeastern Alaska and it rains a lot! I am a 57 year old grandmother and Safety Manager for a very large seafood processing plant. I also teach yoga and am an active EMT with our local fire department. I'm 5'9" and when I started the no S last week I weighed 218. I ...

I started on Monday and so far it is going pretty good. I am hungry between meals but that is ok. I am going to do the 21 days then weigh in. Hopefully a couple of pounds will be gone!
