Everyday Systems

Thanks for the suggestions. Regrettably, my bag is a fairly large laptop backpack bag, but it's full of the laptop and other items needed for work (too bad I don't feel safe leaving some of it at work). The link you provided proved to be very helpful, I used it today (yep, I work Saturdays), and it ...

When I go to work, I will park my car a distance away, which provides a decent walk back and forth. For work I need my laptop, so I carry that with me in a laptop bag. Now the problem that I'm having is that I want to also carry my lunch with me (since I can't leave the building to go get lunch). My...

I'm a kilt wearer, and when I first started to wear my kilt I found that I would get very sore in my inner thighs. Then I found a great product called Bodyglide. Bodyglide is used by runners, it comes in a stick (like deodorant), and one swipe in the affected areas (before you start walking) will al...

Wow it's been a while since I wrote - busy at work (that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it). I'm not going to go into details, since many of these days are a bit fuzzy in the brain. 31-May - Success . 01-June - Skip day . 02-June - Skip day . 03-June - Success . 04-June - Success . 05-June - Succe...

30-May - Success. A bit of a stressful day, nothing else to report.

29-May - Success . Busy day yesterday, so I didn't get to eat much till dinner. For dinner my SO wanted pizza (the frozen kind), I was good and only had a few slices (about 1/3 of what I would have eaten 20 days ago). Today my SO wanted to have Chinese for lunch, I had about 1/2 of their lunch porti...

27-May - Success . There were egg rolls at work again, my diet kryptonite, I did eat some, but they were my lunch - and I held myself back and was good. 28-May - Success . Today is my birthday, and I set this day to be a skip day, but I found that I didn't want to treat it as a skip day. I'm finding...

24-May - Success. Again, nothing to report (I like days like that).
25-May - Skip day. A skip day, but I ate like it wasn't. Good for me.
26-May - Skip day. Another skip day, ate well, forgot breakfast again. Had a pop and half of a donut before bed - that was way too sweet.

23-May - Success. Nothing important to report. A nice common day. The next two days are my skip days, I don't feel the urge to go crazy that I felt last week, either because I'm adapting to the diet, or because I had that failure on the 21st.

22-May. Success , but an oops . Man what a sucky day. I'm calling it a success, but an oops. I was extremely tired all day (my SO had trouble keeping me awake), I'm not sure if I had a bug, or if it was mild CO poisoning from the night before (mechanical troubles with my car) - but I wasn't thinking...

20-May - Success . Nothing special to report. 21-May - Failure . :( I'm not really sure if today is a failure, but I feel like I cheated, so I'm calling it a failure. I ate the food that the hotel provided, it's not good for me, and I have no way to tell how much I ate. Needless to say I'm mad at my...

18-May - Skip Day . I love skip days. I completely forgot to have breakfast, without doing my exercises in the morning my whole routine goes out the window, I will have to think on this more. I had some ice cream from Dairy Queen, but other than that I ate fairly well. 19-May - Skip Day . No breakfa...

16-May - Success . After some thought, I decided to call it an oops day, only because I had one piece of pineapple and didn't have anymore (or any other snacks) - though I sure was tempted. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, my first skip day; I never realized how often I snacked, nor how often I ate ...

Odd thing happened, my SO tried to force me to eat half of a Hostess Cup Cake after dinner - by trying to physically shove it in my mouth - I didn't eat it; I still can't figure out why that happened. Meaning you can figure out why he or she tried to shove a cupcake in your mouth or you can't figur...

Thank you!

I started the No-S Diet on 11 May. So far things have been going well. I'm a tad bit overweight (according to the BMI I'm obese). The max weight that I know I reached was 232 pounds, but I suspect I hit ~240 pounds at one point. On the last day of April I decided that I needed to really exercise, so...
