Okay...here I am again. I started No-S last September, and kept with it for 4 months. I loved it. Lurked on the boards, and posted some. Then at the end of December, I strayed. And in January, I reverted back to my old ways (what I'd call the S diet). Anyway...I managed to gain the weight back. A fe...

Thanks, Debs and Kathleen for your kind sympathy about my yeechy pre-colonoscopy drinking! Uggh. All over now. And, I did indeed count it as an S day. Today - Tuesday. N-day. Success. And this, despite fighting my migraine aura late in the day. Usually I want pretzels, goldfish crackers, chicken pot...

Sunday - S day. Ok, but once again, a bit out of control at night. But 2 out of control days/week is much better than 7 out of control days.week. Monday - N Day. Success. I am bending the rules a tiny bit. I had a huge plate of salad, along with dinner today. This seems to work okay for me. I'll con...

Thursday - Exception (yellow on the Habit Cal). Colonoscopy prep day. Breakfast and Lunch I was no-S. I had a soda, and now I'm drinking the gallon of uggh stuff. Might have some jello later. I guess it's almost a legitimate N day. But, I'll rack it up to an "S" day (sick/surgery). Tomorrow, too, wi...

Wednesday - success! Tomorrow is prep day for colonoscopy. Normal breakfast and lunch. Then only clear liquids. And, then, the dreaded gallon of yeechy drink at 5 p.m. I guess I'll consider it an S day, since I'm allowed popsicles and jello, along with clear liquids. But, not a fun S day. By Friday,...

Dear Donut-throwing Deb - First of all - thanks for the posts on my Daily check in. It was you - wasn't it - who threw the donut out the window last week? I just spent a bit of time looking at your Daily Check in. I am SO impressed with your journey and commitment through this. You are an inspiratio...

Monday - N day. Success. Tuesday - N day. Success. I did a slight modification that I feel okay about. Did a 20-mile training walk today, and had 2 packets of "Gu" during the walk (what I eat on marathons). It is a Sweet and it is a Snack. (Seconds on Gu? No thanks) But, the calories seem really nec...

Hey Betty - I can very much identify with your minor slip up, to the full-out binge. And the feeling terrible physically and spiritually. But, so much of what I see with all these No-S veterans is about NOT having the guilt about it, forgiving, and moving on. It sounds like you are doing that. Great...

By the way, Debs. Congratulations on throwing the donut out the window. It's an amazing thing to start to eat something you have eaten mindlessly before, realize you don't want it, and fling it out the window. I love the support on this board. Even thought I've just started No S this month, and have...

Well - as long as we're talking about S days and donuts.... I was in North Carolina this weekend, doing a college visit with my daughter who is a high school senior. On Saturday morning, I was driving into Asheville, and saw a Krispy Kreme donut store. My favorite place to eat multiple donuts. Well ...

Thursday and Friday - successful N day. Saturday - almost an idiot S day. Did a 10 mile training walk, but still didn't "deserve" all I gave myself. Sunday - today. A total idiot S day. Ugh. Arrgh. Back into bingeing. It's bedtime now, so after I do my HabitCal I'll go upstairs. No more mindless eat...

Wednesday - SUCCESS. Yay. This is with a drive into Boston for a gig, and a late night drive back home. (2 hours each way) Normally, I would have snacked the whole time. This time, I drank water. Now - some more challenges coming. Flying today (which is always a snacking challenge for me) and then F...

Sunday. Marathon in St. Louis. Lots of eating, especially after the race. Due to flooding, marathon got cut from 26.2 miles to 10. Ate the rest of the day as if it was 26.2 miles. Not moderate at all! Felt frustrated and mad at the organizers that they stopped us at 10 miles. I ate a lot today - lot...

Happy Birthday. Great news about your experience with the torte. So different, and so nice. I had a similar experience last night. We went out to the coop to get desserts and bring them home. I had a small portion of a hazelnut/meringue-type cake, and my husband had German Chocolate cake. It was muc...
