Everyday Systems

Thanks for well wishing :) It doesn't feel like the funny stuff is borderline, but sick days do start with S so I feel better about the soup, I had more than just one bowl but its steamy and makes me feel better. -- Progress, success, etc. I'm weighing daily with understanding that my weight will bo...

Caught a cold, and haven't had all my calories for the day yet at dinner. I am going to have tea and very brothy (pronounced broffy in my current state) chicken soup later tonight.

I know it's the 3rd week, and I'm that close to having maintained my habit but I need some feel good.

Great on breakfast
awesome on lunch
HUGE dinner at outback.

Ah well. Coulda been worse. When will I learn to stop eating more than my stomach can hold? Now I feel a little bleh.

i Heart S-Days

Back to being 3-a-day tomorrow. I feel a little too full but I think i managed to not go overboard this time!

banana in the morning lunch = hot dog (from sam's club believe it or not, its really cheap and filling!) lunch+ = free samples at sam's. delish 2 bite size alfredo chicken bread. snack = 1/2 big cookie, 2 sour patch kids i will eat more tonight i'm sure gotta eat a big salad even though its an s day...

*sigh* Mom said today is an S day for me because she graduated from college with her BS (it just arrived in the mail) and dad got home from a vacation toAfrica yesterday. I had some cake for her sake, and it was far too rich and sweet. I could eat less than half the piece, and now I just want my alr...

Always ask for a "special" whopper and it will always be hot (ie one day no pickles... for me its cheese no mayo and has never failed). I AM SO GLAD TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE HERE LOVE FAST FOOD! -- Anyway today! Lunch was pizza but only 2 slices of a medium sized one, so the damage wasn't bad, and they f...

I start planning Monday morning... approaching the end of N day set number 2, I really enjoy those weekends. This weekend I think both days 4 mini meals (this is my preference but the 3 meals during the week is better for my self control) that can be junky if I want, with unlimited fresh fruit as sn...

If, say, your schedule is wake up at 6, eat breakfast at 7, work 8-5 with lunch at noon... then you probably eat dinner before 6 pm. If you can, eat lunch at 1 and you can eat dinner at 630 or 7. Then if you go to bed at 10, you probably won't be hungry. Putting all of your meals 4-5 hours apart is ...

...perogies....

I used to eat 6 at once. I think we've got some here maybe tomorrow's dinner, but I doubt I could eat 6 anymore.

You go with the restraint. I'm finding it hard being a n00b and you veterans of the system inspire me ^_^

Keeps me on the straight and narrow, but I don't always detail in the food log. I just started last week, but I am an obsessive with number/statistics in general. It's not un fun for me to do that, I like tracking my food, and I like tracking it a lot more when I see how nice (not superbly low, but ...

When I was younger, and again now that I have scheduled meals, breakfast is really hard to eat. I feel sick and a little dizzy the first few bites of my peanut butter toasted pita, and water doesn't even go so well. I think it has to do with the fact that your stomach hasn't been working for 8+ hour...

I like the donating to the GS better. I was a GirlScout and its hard to sell those things. 4 hard years of work got our troup enough to pay for 1/2 trip for each of us to London (we paid the other halves - I am from New York State, from Europe it would have been a little easier to get there I'm sure...

Wow, you are a site veteran! You are a real inspiration now that I've read some posts.

I've noticed the "20 pounds, 2 sizes", that is my goal!!! If I can lose 10 pounds in 6 months, I would be incredibly happy.

YOU ROCK! Keep it up to inspire us n00bs.

LICK!


I mean... LUCK!

^_-

Most definitely unhealthy I did great until today, when i went to burger king, got take out. (diet coke though, since on my diet i'm allowed my favorite non-cal beverage, but i'm going to have to drink an equal amount of water.) Thank goodness I despise mayonaise, that's all I can say. Checked the b...

That was 3/day, for the week.
Not 3 for the week.

Hey that chocolate finger felt guilty enough after I scolded myself. I can't be letting S-days extend outward from the weekend and sneak up on me. Then Friday would turn special, then Thursday.. But - Saturday was disgusting! But it was still day6. I couldn't eat a full plate at a restaurant. That i...

Day 5 was a success, except i licked some chocolate off of my fingers making some chocolate covered fruit for my S-day. More fruit, less chocolate and you have a mostly healthy snack. Lunch was mostly as planned, and dinner was a prepackaged chicken pot pie (delish) and a lotta green beans on 1 big ...

I bellydanced with lessons for a while, find a place that does periodic sessions so you can start out at the beginning.

The teacher will correct you when you're little weird, and you can ask questions.


Other than that, shimmy for 10 minutes every day and I bet you'll feel the burn!

Thanks reinhard! I definitely will try to worry about the portions less. But I will still make note of it, because I think after I form the habit portions may be the next thing. I actually felt a little icky after medium chili and big salad last night, which I usually don't feel at all icky except h...

Days 3 and 4 went pretty well. I had big big dinners both days, though. Day 5 breakfast - pita+hummus. orange, apple. Drinks-water+dietcoke. Planning another cheese and salad for lunch. Dinner is away from home, so its a surprise from the boyfriend. I'll have to explain that appetizers are like seco...

I know we aren't counting calories here. But count your calories. You really might not be eating "enough", and this will make you fidget less, feel more tired, and do less in your "just sitting" time, which will cancel out your walking. Your body could be in a starvation mode, although just your men...

Ok this is more than daily, but that's ok!
Lunch - pita and banana with peanut butter, and an orange as planned.

22 oz of water and a diet coke.

I think I put a bit more peanut butter on than usual....

BNL is a nice band.

The quote was *partly* because the weather is consistently crappy this year. It doesn't snow enough or get cold enough for skiing, but it does snow enough to make the roads horrible.

Day 2 was just great, Breakfast - orange, 1 egg, 4 turkey bacon Lunch - pre-planned small prepped tvdinner thing + couscous (I know its not all on one Plate, but there were no seconds, and it would have fit had I wanted to dump it out) Dinner - also planned hours ahead of time 1 bag popcorn (greasy ...

Day 1, Feb 13th - doin ok.
Day 2, today (14th). So far so good. I will be posting something separate at night when I can, since between 7-11pm is my big pig time, and I need to avoid that.

I think seeing my numbers have "improved" will be a good motivator for the 2nd week of this, since that is usually my downfall. Although it's probably a good idea to pay more attention to my good progress than my cals. (thank you Mo. I have been weighing in often enough with regular diets but I have...

I have a similar issue, I used to get excited about a slight calorie deficit and then have 2 bags of microwave popcorn. I'm a little obsessed with statistics and numbers in my entire life. I calculate things like crazy. But I can still count my calories on this diet (no one's stopping me), but there...

So for the past month I have been faithfully going to a health club-ish place, doing yoga 2xs a week and some aerobic stuff the other 3 (non S) days. And counting counting counting KCals. Weekends have always been special, so this lets me keep them that way. Having been counting my calories so, I ca...
