Everyday Systems

Thanks No-BS, MJ7 and Amy! I don't have internet access unless I come to my parents house, so I bought a small calender and put it on my fridge. Seeing lots of Red':oops:' but Still hanging in there! I'm having trouble getting complete success days, they're more like 3/4 or sometimes 1/2 days. I kee...

All I can say is "WHOA!" There was also a section where he was featured in a magazine and made this statement: "Every other Thanksgiving, as a ceremony to prove, I am not a vegetarian, I have an ounce of sliced turkey." Every Other ?!?! An Ounce ?!?!':shock:' That could be funny, but also sad. Sad t...

February started out great. Then got a little off track, it's hard getting fully back on, little slips here and there. But I'm NOT giving up!! Going to keep doing this, just want to get more green days each month. January had only 5 green days, so my goal for Feb. is at least 6 green days. Feb. 1 SU...

Thank You for the encouragement No BS! I also gained great insight from your check in and love how inspired you are!

Had a MAJOR FAIL week! :x :oops: :cry: I did start each day out good, then stress came and so did the food. :roll: Well, pity party over , going to keep plodding along til it becomes habit. There is nothing left to go back to that will give me sanity, NoS is the only thing for me! I just need to buc...

Well after my 3 successful days in a row, Thursday started out good, Then wham we were hit with a winter snow storm and lost our electricity! :shock: SO that put a tailspin on things, the generator also kept going out. Without the appliances, I'm sad to say, we ate alot of snacky, junky food. It's a...

Thanks so much for all the replies! I'm happy to report that Mon, Tue and Wed. are SUCCESS days! Yay! I realized that I need to take it slow and work one thing at a time, so I've stuck with the 3 meal plan and told myself that I could have a second or sweet as long as it was with 1 meal. I haven't a...

Had one Full day of Success on Wed. The other days that were red, weren't a "binge all day" red, I did stick to the 3 meal plan but had a sweet with my meal or seconds. So I guess that's better than I usually do. Baby Steps...

Day 4 and Day 5: Well after my "Gun-Ho" super- motivated start, life happened.. :roll: sigh.. I know, I know. There's always going to be situations to handle, I just need to change my mindset and learn to be more prepared. Need to remind myself, This is a journey not a quick-fix. I'm going to do my ...

Thanks everyone! It is SO good to know there are other mothers of little ones working at this and succeeding! I just had my 3rd Baby at the end of July. So, 3 under 5 years feels so overwhelming at times. Oolala, I LOVE your posts! You have so much insight and I find myself looking for your replies ...

Day 3: Happy New Year's!
1st exempt S day for January.
Day was a little crazy since Hubby was off work and we slept in. So I got a little off schedule in my eating, can't wait for tomorrows normal routine to be back.

It would be diet for me. One time I went through a phase of just exercising more, instead of watching my eating. I joined curves, did the treadmill and workout tapes. It gave me an "exercise" head the way one gets "diet" head. I started thinking, "oh I'm burning TONS of extra calories now , so that ...

Day 2: Day went great. Had my 3 meals, then we were invited to a last minute New Years Eve get together. I'm very happy with the choice I made. Didn't eat any of the pizza/chips/dip/etc., since I'd already had supper. I did allow myself to try a small treat, but I felt fine with that. It didn't make...

Thanks for all the kind, encouraging responses!

I've never done any kind of challenge like this before so here goes! I guess since I'm just starting out, my goal for the month will be to just get going and do my best, to have more green days than red. Jan.1 *Exempt S-DAY 1* Jan.2 Day started great, then totally missed lunch&downhill it went..':('...

Umm, sorry I guess I don't know how to do the emoticons right? I don't know how to get the javascript stuff off.

Just wanted to say Hi! I've been a lurker off and on since last year, started a couple of times, didn't stick with it. I've done weight-watchers more times than I remember!javascript:emoticon(':shock:') Keep going back and forth between that and no-s. I'm a TERRIBLE emotional eater!! So my problem i...

Day 1: Dec. 30,2012
S-day
Had a good day, even though it was an S, I had more self-control over sweets than I've had in a while. I'm feeling good about this at the moment, hopefully this feeling will carry me through, til the habit starts kicking in!
