Everyday Systems

wow...once I hit the 21-day club I sort of stopped checking in. But no worries, I am still doing No S and am in Week 7 already. I made Halloween an S day... knew I'd be nibbling on the candy but we didn't buy very good candy as it was, so it wasn't a big deal. Just didn't want to have to think about...

Please count me in as a new 21-day club member! This has been awesome so far and I can't see it getting less awesome. Even the hubby has joined in without any grumbling about points or spending money on NS foodz. I think I have lost, oh, 2-3 lbs in these three weeks, but if I didn't gain a bit back ...

this is my third Friday...like, day 19. This has been so so easy and there is all green or yellow on my habit cal...except last night I shared a dish of coconut ice cream after thai food. ALAS!!!!! it was so weird. I just wanted it...and gee, I had had a very emotional day (good and bad, rollercoast...

I don't like Mondays on No S, but not for the reasons you are thinking. I actually am GRATEFUL for Mondays to come! My stomach was very rebellious this morning (as I continue with my TMI trend) and I have had a stomach ache all day. I can only chalk it up to bad living over the weekend. Slothfulness...

Week Two was SUCCESS , that is five days of successful N days. this is so much easier than I thought, and now even the hubby is doing it. (no snacking at work and he's not a sweet-eater). I can recall only two mistakes or temptations since I started. Had Pop Tarts for breakfast on like Day 3, and t...

great blog entry today! congrats on all of your success and for being an inspiration to all of us. I have never been this excited about a "diet" nor has this ever been so easy to follow. Only good things have happened to me in all areas of my life since I started last week!!!! enjoy your weekend...h...

I don't even think about this any more, and it's only Day 9. so FYI Days 7-8-9 were SUCCESS :D OH, and screw my plan to stay at 80 until I'm "ready" for the next speed. I turned in a 100 today with only 9 errors and I got really mad at myself for holding myself back. I like to think that my brief bu...

actually made it through a quick trip to the grocery store without buying any snacks---which usually would mean snacks that would be eaten mindlessly on the drive home! :o finished the book this morning. Took the Churchill quote from page 124 in to school...forming habits is so applicable to getting...

this is just unbelievable. I didn't even blink following No S after my first S weekend. just got right back on the horse. Didn't even really think about not snacking, no sweets, etc. Just went about my day. Had my iced tea after school NBD. didn't go to Jazzercise tonight (uh oh, fail! ) so didn't h...

the weekend is coming to a close, and for sure I enjoyed lots of chocolate, noshed whenever i wanted, didn't even try to eat 3 squares. and by Sunday night, it felt yucky...and I'm actually looking forward to 5 N days...I want my routine back!!!!!!! wow! I'm working through the book and have already...

when I want to come and post my daily check-in, I usually hit "post reply". but am I replying to Blueskighs when I do that? so....the real question is, how do you post a new message without bothering anybody? (ie. I don't want Blueskighs to be pressured to always reply to me when really all I am doi...

book finally arrived from Amazon, and I can tell that it will answer a lot of my questions. and sure enough, there on page 7, Reinhard describes Pop Tarts straight up as a Sweet. OK OK OK. so I learned. I still don't think it ruined my day and I am going to be a rebel and leave that day as a success...

i went to the boards and searched for sweet cereal, and people were saying to call something a sweet if you would eat if for dessert....so maybe my RATIONALIZATION above was completely twisted. I called Pop Tarts a snack, but they are a sweet, but I had them for breakfast....would I have Pop Tarts f...

DAY 3 WAS SUCCESS well... i had pop tarts for breakfast...and they are sweet...but i didn't even think about it until later...hmmmm...Hubby said they are no worse than sweetened cereal, and I recall there was some discussion about those on the boardz...so I am still calling it success because norma...

DAY 2 WAS SUCCESS DAY 3...not nearly as ravenous after school as I was on tues/wed. however, I did make my lunch last longer by having the yogurt at 12:30 instead of with lunch break at 11:30. I think it helped take the edge off the 11:30 to 7:30 span but probably was a snack, even though it was a ...

day 2 and still holding strong. btw day 1 was SUCCESS I am still super hungry right now after school but am chugging water and iced tea. Nobody said iced tea was bad, right? I figure it has so little caloric impact. I read on the website that he doesn't tell us how many meals to have each day...and ...

I made it! I was so hungry all afternoon and driving to Jazzercise I was thinking, how will I make it thru class? but I had so much energy.... already....how is that possible? this clip from MadTV seems appropriate. I love it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKs0oEIVOck so here we go...we are on our ...

:D Your book is on it's way from Amazon. Yesterday was my bday so I actually started this adventure on an S day. Today, so far, no snacking. I am a full-time student and always come home to nosh on something, considering that lunch break is at 11:20...I just usually need something in my belly by 2pm...
