Everyday Systems

Thursday, July 15th- This week has been going well. Had successful N days on Monday and Wednesday. Today I weighed in at 163 (a 2.5 pound loss)! I am determined to get below 160 as soon as I can. I need to do the daily check in. For yesterday: fruit salad with whole milk yogurt and granola iced coff...

Have not been doing the daily checkin and I think that's a mistake. I need the accountability. Last weekend threw me off. It basically continued all week as if every day was an S day! I got into holiday mode with the 4th and then we had a heat wave and I had no energy and then my father spent the da...

I'm just wondering since it is a legal holiday. I am assuming that it isn't but if anyone knows for sure, please let me know! thanks, MK

After a long hiatus I am back! I've been going back and forth in my mind about how to lose weight. The last time I wrote on here it was in December. It's now July 3rd and I am very motivated, having been doing NO S all week (since 6/26 - started at 165.5 pounds and I am 5 feet and 1/4 inches tall) w...

Saturday, December 12th & Sunday, December 13th- S days. Still don't internally feel committed yet but will try today! I'm determined to have a successful NO S day!

I'm am just completing my first real week of NO S and I did not have one day that was NO S although I got pretty close. One thing I am finding challenging is when I go off on an "N" day. I am finding that it gives me permission to continue with going off even more! For instance, I did fine today wit...

Thursday, Dec. 10th - should have written this yesterday, am not in the mood today! Well, yesterday went well until the evening which is when I screwed up! This is stupid, etc. I got really, really tired and I think it's because I didn't have water. I started off well, took yoga, did 1/2 an hour of ...

Wednesday, December 9, 2009- Woke up hungry and late (taught late the night before)! (this was exciting because I usually am not hungry for awhile because of eating late the night before) no exercise other than walking the dog 20 minutes meditation 30 minutes writing!! (very, very happy about this) ...

Tuesday, December 8th- I met with a nutritionist today who thought NO S seemed silly. She said that the mediterranean diet would be the best choice. I did not tell her this but I am planning to do NO S while eating Mediterranean diet food. It doesn't seem like a big deal, healthier eating overall. s...

Monday, December 7th: no success but close! breakfast: toast with tablespoon of peanut butter, coffee with half and half, 1 orange lunch: bowl of split pea soup, collard greens and small roll afternoon: 1/2 an oatmeal cookie, 1 bite dark chocolate dinner: hot dog on bun, cole slaw and baked beans, 1...

I have just started NO S last Saturday. I kept trying and stopping before, confused about whether I should do this or return to Weight Watchers where I originally lost 30 pounds but have gained it back over a 10 year period. Frankly, WW makes me think too compulsively about food, so there ends up be...

I am new to this, am having trouble getting started with a lot of false starts. My first issue is my schedule. I did not realize how much I relied on snacking to get me through my busy days. I teach at night twice a week and never feel hungry enough to eat dinner beforehand. I usually would have a s...

I just starting NO S after giving it a bit of a practice for the past week. I am a former Weight Watchers member who has a hard time maintaining. I am curious about how maintenance is handled on NO S. I just finished reading Reinhard's book and it appears that you don't do anything different after y...
