What an inspiring post. Way to go Josie!

This is just what I needed today.

My on the go breakfast are, fruit and yogurt (and sometimes protein powder) smoothies, and big au-lait with baked oatmeal squares. These are like portable bowls of oatmeal, not overly crumbly and seem to keep me full for a few hours. here is a recipe Baked Oatmeal W/banana (6 Servings)Â 2 cups unco...

Tuesday went well, 3 meals, no exercise. Ay 5 PM I'll be over the 48 hour threshold wrt the socket. I'm hopeful the clot is intact and I will be able to start exercising and enjoying more food options. food plan today is instant breakfast, 2 eggs and a banana leftover lasagna baked tofu with veggies...

Thanks for the sympathy and well wishes. I did indeed get re-scraped and re-packed this afternoon. I'm still numb, but can already feel the soreness starting back up. Tonight will not be super-fun. In 48 hours I should have a solid-clot and be past the point of concern. Till then it's smoothies and ...

Sunday night check-in, tooth is throbbing again. Dry socket sucks. It is bearable but I guess I need to decide do I let the dentist re-scrape the bone and try to get another clot to stick or do I just wait for this to clear up on its own which may take a month or longer. I'm leery of daily pain meds...

Quick Saturday check-in. Dry-socket is better this morning, antibiotics are doing their thing. I slept a blissful 9 hours last night. Today I hope to get the tree undecorated, get ahead on some laundry and cooking for the week. I am trying to keep to a No S schedule because its just easier that way ...

Sometimes you just know something with every fiber of your body. I know that my disordered eating needs to stop and I know that when I am consistent with No S I feel so sane and in touch with my actual appetite and feelings. I also know that I am out of excuses and time. I am not going to wait to se...

bizzybee

Feeling strong,

b- egg+ ham on english muffin, 1/2 grapefruit. latte

L- salad, minestrone soup, waldorf

d- salmon, brown rice broccoli

yay day 5. I had a great weekend. I baked some goodies and made a beautiful panzanella... raked some leaves etc. I woke up hungry. I had a nice breakfast, blueberry smoothie and a bowl of ezekiel cereal which carried me through water aerobics and then just as I started to get ravenous lunch arrived,...

I have decided to make beer / wine an S day thing. My main reason is that looking back I have an issue with having 2 beers and then snacking. I wouldn't have thought I had the issue until I looked back at N day failures and observed a pattern. I rarely (like I can't remember the last time) have more...

I was inspired too and now I have bowlers arm, my son kept saying "one more game, one more game."

I strive for activity 5 days a week and I get bored very easily. I love my wii, I buy my kids any and all activity games, we have DDR hottest party, Outdoor challenge, wii ski and wii play and I use them on days when I don't have time, motivation whatever to make to a class at the gym. I also use th...

I decided I wanted a new topic thread to keep track in, all my hits and misses in the old one were bringing me down a little. So, I am actually on day 3 today, trying not to make a mess of the S. B- crustless quiche and whole grain toast with butter L- ? D- ? yeah not much is known but it is nice th...

bizzybee

I am back re-starting this thing, but did make it 15 days one time and I can say that in week 2 my plates were already looking less packed. The first week I ate huge meals because there is a moment that you realize you only get 3 chances each day to give your body what it needs. I remember being a l...

I also find oatmeal just does not hold me unless its oatmeal pudding cooked with milk and one egg tempered.

I also eat a whole grain english muffin with a poached egg and canadian bacon and find I can get 4 hours out of it.

I'm here. That's a good thing. Halloween became a 4 day celebration and then the election, more celebration! So here I am on Thursday wishing I had gotten it together Monday. I just finished breakfast, DH is taking me out for my favorite salad at lunch time and I am making a child requested dinner o...

bizzybee

Wow, that's amazing and VERY inspiring!

I find that post dinner eating is very habitual. If I do it one night, I want to do it again the next night. I have started and re-started NO S a dozen times and the best lasting habit that I take away each time is that I don't anticipate food after dinner. My husband actually eats cheese and cracke...

I took it as an S-day. I was canvassing and making calls and trying to parent at the same time (kids had day off) and we ate when food was available and drank through the returns. I know that on Holidays my issue is not the "meal" but the excited snacking and extra slices of whatever that I NEED. Th...

This is very true. In weight watchers, you reduce the points (calories) you eat as you lose weight so that by the time you get to goal weight, you are eating very little food. And, your body lets you know that it is not satisfied, so you get to be in a lifelong battle to stay at goal and eat your 19...

Day 2 was Friday and I had no problems, I stuck to my plan with the exception of having a turkey sub for lunch instead of leftovers. I managed 5 days of exercise and am now, on Sunday, still sore from water aerobics and pilates. Saturday was a good day as well, I had my 3 meals + a late night snack ...

bizzybee

It was a success for exercise and NoS. No problems or complaints, healthy food to boot.

Today is day 2 and my plan is

B- oatmeal and Greek yogurt with Blueberries

L- leftover red beans and rice burrito with guacamole

D- Baked rigationi, garlic bread and caesar salad

Thanks for the support Blueskighs. I am feeling much better today, novocaine really knocks me out. I know its a local but it seems to be somewhat systemic in me. I am about to put together a lovely breakfast plate and then do some housekeeping. The house is definitely not kept right now, I may have ...

I'm not sure of the significance but I am back almost a year to the day. My Birthday was this month. I think it may be self reflection time. So here I am a year later, a few pounds fatter. Its pretty depressing when I think about my dewey eyed enthusiasm last year and where I thought I would be. So,...

No S Failure Exercise Success Starting out with a bang! I was undone by low blood sugar after working out. I really felt terrible, shaky etc, so I stopped and bought some cottage cheese and a banana. I did manage to make it the rest of the day though. So a failure but not an abysmal one. I'll plan b...

I haven't been able to string together two successful NoS days in 3 or 4 weeks. I have reasons of course. Birthdays, anniversaries, sickness- mine and my children's, a week at the beach, my list goes on and on. But ultimately my priorities shifted, I stopped keeping track of my new habits and one li...

Has anyone else experienced a real lowering in grocery bills? Snack foods are expensive. I'm buying for another adult and 2 kids and still see a difference. I had to stop buying so much fruit, it was just not getting eaten. I had been sort of deluding myself about what I was buying for me and what I...

I was a closeted seconds taker. I thought I would be craving sweets, but it turned out that I have been a habitual second plater and didn't realize it. My "mess-ups" are almost always a thoughtless nibble of bread or broccoli off my kid's plate when I'm cleaning up from dinner. Really, quite a wake-...

Another Mom here offering encouragement. I put on the majority of my weight when I had 2 little kids. I was also very isolated and no family to help take the kids when I needed a break. It was a dark time in a lot of ways. So 2 things - It does get better, incrementally, all the time, one day you'll...

I am happy to report 7 successes It has been a good week for exercise as well. I've hiked and roller-bladed, taken yoga and pilates classes, done a spinning class and hit the weight machines 3 X. I'm basically always sore right now. Food wise, I have been concentrating on cleaning up my breakfasts a...

I was in exactly the same state of fear regarding dropping snacks, low blood sugar issues, how would I ever do this? I work out early and need food in my system first... it just seemed insurmountable. It took about 2 weeks, the first week I was often hungry, mostly before dinner and before bed. I dr...

bizzybee

So... Tuesday was a success, but Wednesday was a failure. I had 2 lunches (don't ask) and a small cup of yogurt before dinner. I did work my butt off at the gym, 35 minutes of cardio (average 155 BPM) followed by 7 stations of weight training (mostly upper body) Today I've made it through a pretty t...

I had a cold and forgot to update here and then that became a habit! But the good news is that I'm hitting my No-S and exercise goals probably 85% of the time and getting better at it. The hunger stuff that was my big stumbling block the first few weeks has become a non-issue. I often go 6 hours bet...

bizzybee

Wow, it has been a week. I am holding steady at 3 pounds lost and frankly after the sushi-fest and many delicious meal I enjoyed throughout the week, I could not be happier. My exercise was pretty consistent, I walked on Saturday and hit the gym on Sunday (which I never ever do). I'm back in a groov...

Oh Unexpected S Day! My plan today was to go No-S. Then I started to get chills at the grocery store, back home and it became GI in nature as well. So, I had some toast and tea and then a nectarine. I cooked a big dinner earlier in the day for our little family to celebrate Labor Day... now I'm feel...

bizzybee

Success Friday was great, the hunger was totally manageable. Saturday was much like a No-S day with the exception of a snack of watermelon, 4 PB M&Ms and 2 mixed drinks with dinner. We went out for sushi and ate too much to even consider dinner. I even went for a long walk and I NEVER purposefully ...

Day 2 was a success all around, I came to the conclusion that I have not allowed myself to be hungry in years. Man, food tastes good when you are hungry, it smells amazing while it is cooking. Oddly, sweets have not been an issue, I have had some fleeting thoughts, but knowing that this weekend we h...

DAY1 Success Hi folks, I am starting today. Anxiety is high about getting hungry, I think since my first pregnancy when I experienced low blood sugar issues... If it is still a real and not just an imagined problem I'll probably divide lunch into two smaller meals. My problem time is always between...
