Welp, today is day 21 of No S and I'm at a loss (figuratively, that is). Day 19: SUCCESS Day 20: S-Day Day 21: S-Day For the first time in five months, I've gained weight. I made a decision in November of last year to maintain (at 185) and I've done so like clockwork. Everytime I've stepped on the s...

Hi carolejo - Thanks a lot for your encouragement. I've gotta say, it really helped to hear it. I'm trying "No S" because it makes sense... common sense, and that's really important to me. I'm in conflict over it because I'd rather trust myself (and not put the onus of food decision making on some d...

Day 17: SUCCESS No funny stuff. I will say it here and now -- as much as I doubt it, one quesadilla will fill me up just fine. I don't need chips and salsa or even nuk'd spinach. (I had my doubts earlier tonight that the meal and very small plate it filled would be enough to tide me over, but it was...

Day 16: SUCCESS No funny stuff. Noteworthy - It was another difficult decision night for the sweets after dinner. I came through with a "no" but not after an internal debate as to whether No S is right for me and "but I biked in today" and all that jazz. The check in's what did it this time again. I...

Day 15: SUCCESS No funny stuff. Noteworthy: Day 15 marked the first real temptation I've faced while giving No S a try. We have all these sweet treats and junk food around the house from the birthday party this weekend. There's potato chips, dip, strawberry shortcake, homemade chocolate chip cookies...

Day 12: SUCCESS ( Sorta-Day ) Day 13: S-Day Day 14: S-Day Today I embark on my third week of No S. Friday was a "Sorta-Day" because Saturday was my birthday and while Friday was entirely No S, I ate more than a plateful at the Indian buffet, which was my birthday dinner. I feel good about it though,...

Day 11: SUCCESS No funny stuff. Y'know, this daily check in is a pretty good idea. Having a 21 day accountability factor helps to keep me in line and motivates me when I see that everyday I'm closer to that habit-zone. Noteworthy: Rode my bike into work again today. Also shugged and I gotta say, for...

Day 10: SUCCESS Funny stuff: Dinner was pushing a bit on the one plateful side, but I consider it a successful day. Noteworthy: Biked to work, missed shugging today. Would like to make it a morning routine vs. an evening one. Either that, or I need to get comfortable shugging in front of Allison. Mo...

I like the callou...

Day 8: SUCCESS Funny Stuff: Again with the Brixx (buck fifty pints on Mondays), but no worries here. Noteworthy: No afternoon walk today. Stormy weather plus too much working resulted in an afternoon sans walk. I've noticed that when I vamp up the work ethic my biking and urban rangering suffer. I h...

First the weekend report, then the commentary. Day 5: S-Day -- Wasn't much of an S-Day, which was good, but there was a wee bit of sugar during lunch (in the form of a soft drink, no less) and what would've been a rather large plate for the birthday dinner (had there been a plate, instead of several...

Morning carolejo - Thanks for the comments, it has been (and continues to be) quite an experience. I'm very happy that I was where I was and that I am where I am. I think it's a great idea to stick to a similar route initially. I think progress and internal competitiveness can be great motivators. Y...

Day 4: SUCCESS No funny stuff, unless you count a fortune cookie as a sweet (and I don't). Noteworthy: Fluevogs aren't the greatest walking shoe. I think I just need another pair of Keens that go with black. Today's listening pleasure was a "Philosophy Talk" show on moral dilemmas (with a minor repe...

Hi carolejo -- I don't know if you've got a strategy for your training yet, but hearing that you're just beginning, I wanted to share what worked for me. I had a goal of running. Period. It wasn't a particular distance, like yours, but more a general goal. I want to be able to run. When I started, I...

But I'm not against eating meat. I'm sure we all have a lot to learn about what goes on behind the scenes, even in organic an...

The "diet" in No S
Hi folks - I guess first (and briefly) I should introduce myself. I'm Beck -- a southern belle (sarcasm) from North Cackalackie, USA (who likes to type parenthetically). I lost a lot of weight (around 130 lbs) a few years ago and have been maintaining since. Recently I got re-bitten by the butch up ...

Hi Scott - I just wanted to second (or third?) the recommendation to take a before shot. A few years ago, I lost a whole lotta weight and I took pictures along the way (once every few months) and it motivated me in two important ways: 1) I could see that my efforts were paying off in a way that does...

Day 3: SUCCESS No funny stuff. Noteworthy: I had a lunchtime meeting that bumped right into the time I'd been taking each day this week to go on a long walk. I was bummed that I couldn't take the time, which is a good sign that I'm enjoying the walks on several levels. I ended up walking about 30 mi...

Hi ceu , you don't need an iPod to listen to it, just iTunes (I'm presuming here, but you might not even need that). According to the lecture, which was by Dora Goldstein, there is a gay gene that comes from the X chromosome (our Mama's). But like many things -- being straight or gay isn't just gene...

Word, Schnebit. I realize there is the tendency to do that, plus hunger can cause irritability & distraction. And in your case, how you've fueled your body during the day might make a difference in your energy level and alertness on the field. But, I have a hunch that a lot of the hunger ails we exp...

If you want to do the diet more than you want to have fun most of the time, it's highly likely that you can. I think this goes for anything. I'm grappling a bit on the "willpower" element of "No S" because I've always been a firm believer in the notion of willpower being pure kaka. Your priorities ...

Morning carolejo and pangelsue -- Thank you both for your welcome messages. I find that listening to lectures, audio books and podcasts really add a lot to an afternoon walk. For me, they're engaging in ways that music just isn't. I look forward to my walks much more because I'm interested in hearin...

Just a beginner here, so I'm totally talking outta my arse, but what's so bad with feeling a bit ravenous? I'm dealing with this same feeling and it is annoying, but it's not devastating. Distracting, maybe. Anyway, I'm kinda happy to feel hungry. I know that it signifies that I'll enjoy my upcoming...

I also went on another long walk during lunch -- this time through busy(ish) streets. It's remarkable how much ground one can cover in an ...

Day 1: SUCCESS Funny stuff: okay so the plate at Brixx's is bigger than I recall it being, but upon finishing my meal I didn't by any means feel stuffed, so I'm going to count it as a win. No snacking, no sweets and no seconds = success. Noteworthy: Began the day with a 14 minute shovel gloving sess...
