DAY 45: SUCCESS Steps : 10,221 Borderline success - I popped a couple of chips while dinner was cooking. Haha - that's funny about the walking taco. I was skimming through some daily updates on here yesterday and saw all kinds of food I didn't recognize. Pretty crazy how differently regions eat.

DAY 44: SUCCESS Steps : 10,287 I'm still trying to keep up with my after-lunch walks, as it really isn't all that enjoyable to walk on the treadmill like a hamster for 40 minutes, even with the TV. Much better to spread the steps over the course of the day. It was about 55F today and made for a nice...

DAY 42: SUCCESS Steps: 10,169 DAY 43: SUCCESS Steps : 10,588 So far, so good on the treadmill. Lost half a lb at my WW weigh-in, despite pretty bad weekend. Successfully resisted cookies and cupcakes at a retirement party today. They were the plain jane ones from Kroger and didn't feel special enough.

Having trouble keeping up with both WW and daily check-in, as was probably predicted. I am still following the no-s way of life though! I adher to it more strongly than counting my points, that's for sure. I'm going to restart my logging here, but simplify to no longer include my meals (because I'm ...

Really? Given the name "naked tenders," it doesn't sound like enough to be delicious. I'm going to have to try them next time. Love BW3's

I just switched to NoS from "Fast 5" which is where you fast 19 hours a day and then have a 5-hour eating window. Mine was 5pm-10pm. At first, I lost about 7 lbs, but then I just maintained/gained slightly. I would pretty much permasnack during the eating window. I will say, it did help me to unders...

I like the idea of "letting yourself fail" I'm not saying I want to fail, but definitely seems like a healthy mentality to just move on and continue living life. nbd.
