May 18: Success! Exercise: Failure! May 19: Success! Exercise: Failure! Sorry, I have been out of touch. Things have been kind of crazy around here. My son was diagnosed with a type of epileptic seizures, so that has taken up much of our time. As far as food, I am doing pretty well and staying to pl...

Wow! Sounds like you are doing quite well. Good job!

Thanks, Who Me? I really appreciate the support.

May 17: Success! Exercise: Success!

Stressful day, but made it through okay. I did exercise, but maybe not wholeheartedly, but, hey, I actually did it and I am okay with that.

May 16: Success! Exercise: Failure! :( Other than the fact that I ate a large dinner (one plate, of course) and find myself still hungry later tonight, it has been a good day, food-wise. Exercise is a disappointment today. My feet are very sore lately so I am giving myself a grace day. If I make up ...

Weekend update for No S Diet and exercise: Saturday: S Day! Sunday: S Day! I have to say that I really enjoyed my weekend, food wise. I didn't exercise (didn't have to, but would have if I had wanted to) due to being kind of sore. And, I found that I really enjoyed my food and treats. I don't even m...

LOL! Sounds good to me! In the deep South there is always the correlation that the bigger the hair, the smaller the hips!

Thanks, Who Me: I will definitely try. For years I taught high school and I learned really quickly that it didn't help to be far shorter than my students!

May 13: Success! Exercise: Success! Exercise was a real challenge today since I was already sore from working out, but knowing that exercise is optional tomorrow and won't be happening at all on Sunday, did make it a bit more palatable to give in and get it over with. I did concentrate more on danci...

Woah! I had always heard that as you get older, that soreness comes a little slower after a workout. Yikes! Apparently, it took 4 whole days before the pain from working out became apparent. I am not horribly sore, but I expected to feel stiff and ache-y on Tuesday or Wednesday, but Friday as the fi...

Great job! Homemade bread is such a temptation to me that I won't be making any for awhile. Well, at least until I can get used to eating only at meal times, so I won't be tempted to just munch, munch, munch!

May 12: Success! Exercise: Success! Skykitty: thanks for your kind words. I have definitely felt better (if still sneezing with watery eyes) by working out inside the house, but I can't wait to get back to my walks when I can. Unfortunately, the heat is ramping up here in Georgia, so I may have to s...

Hi AnnieJ,
I am pretty new to this way of eating, too. I started on Sunday. Sounds like you are doing well and figuring out what is going to work for you. I am still tweaking my meals to make sure that I am not too horrible to be around before the next meal!

Hope you get to feeling better really soon!

Thanks, Who Me! I am pretty excited about it myself!

May 11: Success! Exercise: Success! Today went much more smoothly than yesterday, so I felt pretty good about it. I was starving between breakfast and lunch, so I will try to add some more protein or fat or something so it holds me over better. Other than that, I am okay. I am really digging getting...

Who Me?: I guess that came across badly. I really meant that I am really bad to binge on sugar once I get a taste of it. Not a knife in the hand, but it really disturbs me sometimes that I seem to have no self control around food. Food is so basic to life, yet I have managed to distort its purpose i...

SkyKitty, thanks for weighing in. I really appreciate that you were honest. I don't think it's harsh at all. That's just reality sometimes. I agree with you. I don't want to, but I really do! I have just got to learn and I know that this will be a process and not a magic ball. So... onward and upwar...

Wow! Sounds like you are on a roll!

Wow! Sounds like you are on a roll!

SpiritSong, you have a great attitude! Just mark it and move on! Tomorrow will be better. I hope I can do the same. I am horrible to let one slip up slam me down a slippery slope to eating with utter abandon. I think that your honesty is making you a great role model!

Hi! I am new to the plan and just started this week. I think it is great that you have decided what works for you and are giving it a new shot! I haven't tried No S before, but I have definitely spent most of my life on some sort of "diet" or another. I am hoping that this will be the answer for me....

May 10: Borderline success/failure? Okay, I am not really sure on this one. It's a tough call (for me, probably not for some of ya'll). I did great on the food intake all day long until getting ready for dinner. Hubby is out of town so it is just me and the kiddos (2 teen boys, one is autistic). Got...

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I am so used to a diet mentality that it's really hard to try and think outside the diet box!

So sorry that you are feeling poorly again (I've been reading your earlier posts). Seasonal allergies are horrible for us here, too. Hope it passes quickly for you. I also hope that Smog perks up soon. I just hate it when one of my kitties gets sick. It's as bad as when the kids are sick! It's admir...

Hello all. I am pretty new to this way of eating, having just discovered it at the end of last week. Yesterday was my first day (but it was an S day, conveniently), so I wanted to have some accountability. I did set up HabitCal and am beginning to use it. May 8 (Mother's Day)- S Day May 9: Success a...
