I'm just starting a new log to reflect some revised rules from what I learned the first two weeks. I'm not always hungry for breakfast and it seems kind of dumb to eat when I'm not hungry. Also, because of scheduling, I have about 8-9 hours between lunch and dinner. This is too long to go without ea...

Thanks Deb and CarolJo for the laughs and encouragement. I really appreciate it. Back to marking up my calendar now...

12/22/05, Day 22, Thursday Eating :) Exercise :) Ok I cheated a bit on the eating. I had seconds at dinner and had dessert afterwards. Technically, I could have fit firsts and seconds on a single plate by getting creative with vertical stacking and I could maybe stretch a bit and use desert in lieu ...

Not sure if you are the sick one, but sick days are S days... Maybe you can be an "honorary" sick person! Yes it stinks to be cooped up with people who are feeling crummy! My son just got better this morning but we spent the whole weekend indoors because of his cold... Fortunately it wasn't a reall...

Is that your son, Deb? He looks like a great, happy kid. I'm suprised he hasn't gotten stingy with his hugs yet... It must be Christmas season.

12/19/05, Day 9, Monday Eating- Failure! Exercise- Failure! 12/20/05, Day 10, Tuesday Eating- Failure! Exercise- Failure! Being at home with a sick family isn't fun. I've been working at home lately because my new work computer still hasn't shown up. Monday I actually followed plan but ended up havi...

Boy I really hope we get a good snowstorm soon! There's no point in Winter without sleighriding!!! Yeah it's good exercise alright! I usually have to drag the sled back up the hill~ LOL... Normally, after sled riding my legs are trashed!!! My son loves to snow board! He is sooo cool!~ Have a nice w...

Sledding and making "igloos" can be good exercise and good exercise can be fun if you let it.

Exercise- not today unless Christmas shopping counts.

***It's my wife's 29th birthday this weekend. We started celebrating early so technically I didn't make it the entire day.

Hi Porkchop! Do you remember Shari Lewis and "Lamb Chop" ??? LOL.. Anyways..Welcome and good luck with your new NoS and 75% success lifestyle~ Really, who needs perfection.. It's too unforgiving! We need endurance and committment.. Sounds like you are off to a good start... Peace and Love, 8) Deb S...

12/15/05, Day 4, Thursday Eating- Failure. Exercise :) Lots of snow to shovel and blow today. I didn't eat any carbs with lunch and had a very active afternoon. I ended up with a monster headache in the early evening so I added a meal of apple juice and a Kashi granola bar before supper. I felt much...

I may even make it to grade A pork loin if I watch myself! I read something once that encouraged you to "underachieve" in your plans to diet and exercise. Like having a goal to work out for 20 minutes and only do 15. It's beautifully motivating in the fact that as long as you are just doing somethin...

Thanks Carolejo. I ate this way for awhile about a year ago but eventually gave it up because I made it too complicated and kept adding rules which eventually made it unworkable. I'm going to follow the standard NoS diet and leave the other rules as unofficial guidelines. 12/13/05, Day 2, Tuesday Ea...

Hi all. I need to lose some lard so hopefully this will help keep me accountable. I'm going to Mexico in February for my yearly sanity break so I'm using my vacation as motivation. By the time my motivation begins to lag I will (hopefully) have build up the habit enough so it's painless. 12/12/05, D...
