Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were Green . Exercise has been nil. DH and I are fighting the crud. We will see how tonight goes. It's supposed to be snowing/icy conditions late tonight in Metro Atlanta. Screams for comfort food by the fire while worrying about DD driving home late from part time jo...

Time to stick with Resolutions
Slipped off the No S Wagon pretty badly for the past 2 months. I have snacked, had seconds and had sugar! Yep, clothes are a little tighter now. Day One of Return to No S. So far so good: oatmeal and coffee for breakfast, baked potato with cheese, butter and veggies for lunch and walked 2 miles at l...

Too many sweets in October
Time to try to get it back together on the No S life style. The good news: I really haven't gained any of the weight I lost back. The bad news: After a month of nibbling on sweets and rushing here and there with a home improvement project and busy (and lovely) weekends with friends, my meals, exerci...

Yikes! Going like a yo-yo over here on the scale thing! Up and down 3.5 lbs in a week! Decent week last week even though I had some RED s. I was able to walk most days and got a couple of runs in. Then Sunday night hit! Had ribs for past two days - must be a ton of salt in those things. Also didn't ...

Thanks, RAWCOOKIE! Camping was great, except for the ANTS!!! We are in a bit of a drought here in GA, and the ants were crazy. Got all in our camper. Otherwise, had a great time. Ate a little too much, drank a little too much around the fire with friends, but had a pleasant get away. Trying really h...

Well, not too many green days this month! BUT, let's review what trying to stick to No S meant to me, even though I was falling off the wagon, so to speak: A RED day wasn't really terrible - I either had a cookie or a tiny piece of cake. OK, still a RED day, but I have been sticking to three meals, ...

Hello This_is_it, Wow, I am being hit with cravings, too! I've been on No S for about 11~12 weeks now, and I am definitely in a "craving" phase! I even confessed earlier this week that I am calling it a Red week, by having one of my mother in law's chocolate chip cookies and a cup of coffee in the a...

Lots of red and yellow past few days. Have left over chocolate chip cookies from Mother in law. Having a rough week. Red mod for this week - one chocolate chip cookie snack at work in the afternoon with coffee. I just need to go my German "Kaffee und Kuchen" (is that spelled right?) roots for a coup...

Wednesday - pale GREEN. Urban Ranger at lunch (it was hot), and in evening before dinner with a friend. I "cheated" - had my fruit early because I ate WAY to little at lunch, and then was starving before the walk, so had a salad with a bit of dressing. Since I held back and didn't eat trail mix, cra...

Sticking to the mod of having a bit of fruit in evening before late dinners just to tide me over so I don't go overboard at dinner. Walked Monday, Ran Tuesday, didn't run this ...

Hello Ekat, Sounds like you are very physical - extremely long runs, long bike rides, etc. (I envy you! I haven't seen much longer than a 3.5 mile long run in a LONG TIME :)). I see your goal is to loose a couple of pounds and get eating in order. I think you need to be kind to yourself! You sound l...

Thanks, Kaalii! I AM doing great on No S! I really just can't believe after trying so many different other plans, and how hard they were, that No S just seems to work for me. I was actually very nervous about posting the weight loss numbers, because I am afraid I'll mess up and gain weight back........

It's been a mixed week! One RED on Tuesday because we ate so late and I had seconds! (But it was a "healthy" meal). Moved DD to college yesterday. Super mixed emotions on that one, and meals were all over the place, but somehow I tried to stick to the No S plan, and I probably felt better for it. Go...

Merry, I admire your ability to leave some of that pizza behind! I can do that at home sometimes when I feel more relaxed around food. My big challenge is restaurant eating. I really want to finish my whole plate of food! I've tried getting a to-go box and immediately boxing up some of my plate. Bu...

Merry, I am beginning to have the "limits" kick in, too. Last night I overfilled my plate (with pretty healthy choices, just a lot of them). I actually was pretty full, and wound up not finishing some of the rice and veggies and just realizing that I needed to stop eating! Glad you are feeling like ...

Thank you, Merry! And the cookie was GREAT!!! One of the massive chocolate chip ones, which I had as a snack with coffee in the afternoon. So that "RED" broke two rules - sweet and snack! ;) Thursday was a GREEN, but no run and no run today. My sleeping pattern is way off kilter this week, and again...

Oh boy, Team! It's looking a little hard this week after all... DS worked until almost 11 PM last night! That wasn't supposed to happen. And DD didn't get home until after 7 pm from work, so we sat down to eat dinner after 8 pm. I was rather happy with my "mod" of having a "snack" of left over break...

Sounds like you did an awesome job of moderation while on a "S" day, with so many tempting goodies on the cruise. Why beat yourself up over a bowl of ice cream at night? Sometimes, I think we would be more successful if we dieted like men - screw up on something and then move on and quit worrying ab...

Rough week "No S" wise as in a couple of REDs !! I finally broke down and had a half of muffin that my boss brought yesterday as a snack. And I've only ran/exercised once this week. I was just starving and exhausted by the time we had dinner Wednesday. Due to normal sibling/kid drama, we ate later a...

Hello Cindy, I've had a couple of those "weird moments", too. And they like to hit me after work when I have to go grocery shopping because I have three Vikings at home (a.k.a.
