Everyday Systems

Swimming is great exercise! I do it 3 times a week for an hour, usually. (When I'm at home) Otherwise I walk with my baby. I find it really good for taking my mind off things. It is great to think of exercise as more than just a way to lose weight. If I'm doing it because I like it, I'm more likely ...

Thanks for the well wishes! Thursday was a success . Unfortunately, Friday was a failure . I was offered cut up fruit outside of mealtime and I accepted. Knowing that i failed I had also a small second helping of tofu and green veggie. Was totally delicious, and obviously not a hideous failure. Need...

Day 4 was a success!

Thank you both! And I hope you had a great Mother's Day too! I hope I do set a good example for my child with normal habbis. I can't believe I have been doing this yo-yo dieting for so long and I hope to spare him from it. I had a good first N day. The amount of food on my plate looked like a lot,, ...

Before no s, I was a diet soda junkie. I'm trying now to make soda an s, because it makes me too hungry. Same for crystal light and other calorie free beverages I used to toss into my body. I drink coffee with cream and sugar in the morning. Water in between. Occasional milk, decaf coffee or tea in ...
