I'm back. Again.
Okay, so the new year didn't kick me into gear. But today I made an appointment with a new primary care doctor for early April (I haven't seen my last one in about 10 years and since I'm turning 50 this year, I figured it was time), so I have 9 weeks to get my act together. So it is back on No S and...

The end of November/beginning of December was one big fail. No S was so easy this time around, and the fasting was proving pretty easy. Then Thanksgiving arrived and I had too many sugar indulgences (not even binges), and I think it threw my body for a loop. "Hey, are we back on sugar now?" So the M...

I find it impossible to eat much breakfast at 5 am, so I voted small breakfast. But I added a No S Mod wherein I can have one snack in the morning so I can last until my lunch at 1 pm. (Yes, I realize I wouldn't starve to death in 8 hours, but I also don't want to be distracted by hunger all morning...

I get up too early to skip breakfast, even on weekends, but thank you for the suggestion. I think I'll need to eat a bigger lunch and get strict with myself during the afternoon. 10/9/17 - Success! Did not take S-Day for Columbus/Indigenous People Day since I was working a normal day. 10/10/17 - Suc...

Hi Spirit, are your s-days split? That would be really hard for me. I'm sure I'd get mixed up on what day it is. I can sympathize with the chips-on-the-couch scenario though. Evening snacks are my nemesis. Does that then make no-s my super power? :shock: Best of luck to you tonight. I take Friday a...

10/7/17 - Fail. Was hanging out on the couch watching TV and needed a snack. And since I was having a snack, went ahead and had a Pepsi. Will have to work on better habits on Saturdays. Yes, I know that it why Saturday was supposed to be an S-Day, but I don't want to give up my Friday S-Day. 10/8/7 ...

10/4/17 - Success 10/5/17 - Success. I was home with sick dog, but still didn't snack! 10/6/17 - S-Day. Pretty calm one. Enjoyed my Coke with the lunch my boss bought me. I calculated that if I lose a half pound per week, I could be at goal weight on January 1, 2020. So when I think about cheating, ...

10/3/17 - Success. I was thinking about why I've dropped No S before, and mostly I think it was because having whatever you want whenever you want is fun. Of course, as adults, it is up to us to realize there are consequences for such behavior. And ruining the true pleasure of food is one of those c...

10/2/17 - Had lemonade with dinner, but not taking a fail. I was visiting my husband in the hospital, ordered unsweetened ice tea, and somehow ended up with lemonade. With nothing else to drink, and the fact that it was about 1/2 cup in size, I drank it guilt free. Also managed to have a little wine...

Had my first of the month weigh-in this morning, and I am down! Yay! I know the results are not scientifically significant since I don't weigh myself over a few days and average it or anything, but down is down. 8) One half month on No S, and I am down 2.25 pounds. If the downward trend continues, p...

9/30/17 - Had to take another fail. I didn't eat enough for lunch and was hungry by 4:00, just as my husband went to take a nap. Got too hangry to wait for dinner. I was going to weigh in for the first of the month tomorrow, but after two fails, I hope I didn't gain. :lol: Just kidding. It is just a...

I'm in New York State. The Boston Market locator shows two locations in my area, the closest being 24 minutes away (which is why we don't get it that often). Yes, maybe next time we have it, I will pack up half of it to have the next day (except for the salad since then I would have to pick out the ...

9/28/17 - Had to take a fail. My husband brought me a Boston Market dinner, and the salad that came with it was too big to fit on my plate. If I thought it was still a reasonable amount of food, I would have done a virtual plate write-off, but I definitely ate more than I needed to. Oh, well, we don...

But, hey, I thought about having fruit! :D I just realized I started my HabitCal on September 1st when I starte...

9/26/17 - Success. Was offered a piece of no-flour chocolate cake (and usually I am the first in line for treats at the office), but I told her no, thank you, I'm not allowed sweets during the week. Yes, I'm that person who acts like Reinhard is following me around, slapping food out of my hand, whe...

People at my job are allowed to say "No, thank you" without any follow up harassment. We assume they didn't want the cake, not that they hate the person being honored. Along the same lines as Gingerpie's input, if it is somebody's famous chocolate cake and this is your one opportunity to try it, tak...
