Alright...here I go

(Day 1) Thursday 5/19 GREEN


I am determined to make it 21-Days. I will just keep trying until I hit it!

Well, jackn, I suppose it is about the journey and what I can learn from each failure. It is just hard to keep going when one keeps failing.

But you are right.

I didn't make it yesterday. The journey starts again.

21 Days...here I come again.

I recently had a conversation with someone who was appalled that his colleague was eating chips for breakfast one day. I thought about it and said "well it's no different than hash browns. Potatoes cooked in fat with salt." .

Thanks for the encouragement jackn. I do think checking in helps. It will be my goal to stop by daily.

21 Day Club....here I come

I may have to do this too. Great idea. I am not a huge fan of housework. I usually work in spurts. I will get a surge of energy/motivation to clean. But then I will go weeks without doing it (other than daily things like laundry and dishes and cleaning the bathrooms). It would probably be good if I ...

Yes, I drink only water between meals.

I need to be more consistent about my check-in. I also really want to make it into the 21-Day Club. I haven't done that yet. Tomorrow is an No S day. I take my S days on Fri. and Sat. I don't have any treats planned for today. Yesterday I was craving corn chips. I bought a little bag. I haven't had ...

I got side tracked last week, but I am back on the path now.

My first official S days were nice! On Friday, I just sort of snacked in the afternoon and evening. Today, I did the same. I nibbled on trail mix all afternoon. I did still eat very small meals in between.

I am sure I did not do anything to encourage weight loss, but I did have fun.

Great points from everyone!

4th day

Today was an S day for me. I have decided to use Friday and Saturday as my S days. Friday and Saturday are my relax days.

3rd day

Green!

Great topic! I am new to this, but here is a breakfast I have always eaten. Salmon patties. Canned salmon with bone and skin, eggs, some kind of flour as a binder, and seasonings. I fry them in a little oil or butter. I eat breakfast at 5:45. 3 of these will keep me for about 5-6 hours. My lunch bre...

2nd day

Today was not good at all. I had to put a red box on my HabitCal.

Hi, lpearlmom and cedar!

Today did go well!

I took a look at the HabitCal. I really like it. I marked my green box for today.

I am starting this diet tomorrow. I understand and agree with most of what I read in the book. I have to do something because I am gaining about 5 pounds every year. I am at 180 and I am only 5'1. I haven't weighed this much since I was pregnant! I sometimes have thoughts that I will be fat forever,...
