Everyday Systems

Congrats! You're making progress and are in range to make your goal. Yay for you!

Thanks to Jacey of insubordiknit.com, I found this video showing the best use for a treadmill (or 6) that I've ever seen...

Hey, you freaky witch, you! Thanks for the feedback and advice. Sounds good to me. I'll see how things feel as I go along, and adjust accordingly. I think I got a bit hung up on the "no snacks" part of No S as I saw my eating pattern change. Be well... P hey heathengirl.... 2 meals on N days works f...

Back in Oxford again, and doing pretty well with No S-ing here. Last night was a wash-out, though, because I had the unique-for-me opportunity to make and eat ice cream solely through the magic of chemistry! Not much sugar in the ice cream, though, so it wasn't particularly sweet. There are leftover...

Woo-hoo!! Congrats to you on your first ES year and some striking physical changes for the better! You rock!

*hugs*

I'm back in Oxford after a weekend visiting various ancient and sacred sites in Somerset (Avebury, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Wells and Bath) with my partner. We got back not long after midnight last night, but I slept in and woke around 11 this morning (the UK is 5 hours ahead of EDT). I'm...

Well, here I am back again after a brief hiatus. Sticking to No-S has been challenging lately, and there's been some funny stuff and at least one outright No-S failure day since my last update. But onward and upward, as they say... I'm writing this from Oxford, UK. I arrived here yesterday (was it r...

Well, I made it through the week of N days successfully, with only a little funny stuff. Not even the free cheesecake has passed my lips. :) Things are still going slow on the exercise front. I'm dealing with a fair amount of resistence here, and I'm not sure why. A re-ingrained habit of sedentary l...

Slowly. Very slowly.

Tuesday check-in: Successful N Day. I had a real breakfast and lunch, and pizza for dinner as usual--3 slices. Our pizza place often gives us extra goodies because we're such regular and consistent customers. This week it was cheesecake. I'm saving it for my next S day (probably Friday since I'm goi...

Oh, and Happy Birthday!

Hey Deb! I've been skimming your log this morning--wow, what an awesome journey! And what an inspiration you are, oopses and all! It's so cool that Richard is No S-ing with you, too. So many people get their bodies and metabolisms messed up by drastic dieting when they're kids. No S is such a sensib...

Hello Heathengirl, and welcome! It's exciting to read about your graduation as a massage therapist. From what I've heard, you've chosen a wonderful and rewarding profession. Kudos to you! I also want to congratulate you on focusing on your health as an important part of being a successful therapist...

Well, my first official No-S weekend went pretty well. Despite it being somewhat chaotic and definitely celebratory, I made it through Friday and Saturday as N days without any funny stuff so I could enjoy yesterday as my other S day of the week. Good thing I planned for it that way, too. There was ...

Well, yesterday turned out to be an S day. We had a little party in my last class ever in massage school, and there wasn't much I could eat (being vegetarian mostly) so I ended up eating some sweets as well as lots of hummus and chips and a bit of cheese. Not a nutritional high point for me, but not...

Welcome, heathengirl. Maybe we'll bump into each other urbanrangering around boston (though I usually stick to the camridge side of the river). Thanks for the warm welcome, and for sharing all this stuff in the first place! I'm actually located a bit north of Boston, but I end up in both Boston and...

Good to know!

Yay Heathengirl! Good luck! Thanks Deb! I appreciate the support. If you can get through massage school, then you can do anything!!! I too am a LMT... Very cool! It's good to "meet" another MT here. :) When are you sitting for the boards? I'm not sure yet. I can't apply for the National Cert. Exam ...

Hi there! I finally decided to get formal about the ES stuff and just started a log here. So I figured I should let you know so you can harass me.

Okay, here I am at last! I found ES a long time ago via Krista's Women's Weightlifting site (http://www.stumptuous.com/cms/index.php) and was entranced by the ES concepts. I've also shared them with friends and colleagues, most notably JWL/Freakwitch/James. I've been casually and "unofficially" No-S...
