Wed was green. Phew. Feeling less overwhelmed already. Scale has yet to realise things are back on track however! Yesterday was a strength day, but I had lots of other tasks while Squiggle was asleep. So I waited until later and involved the kids in my exercises. I uses Squiggle as my "weights". She...

Thanks Larkspur! Was a good discussion, but not sure if it will go anywhere. But as you say, nice to be wanted :) Green so far today, feeling really good about that early morning run (in the dark). I think exercise for me is less about weight loss by itself, and more about the motivation and self es...

Just got back from a Tuesday morning run, so still going well on exercise. Did stick with 2 plates yesterday, but somewhat dense ones. I have been invited to a coffee today in what I think is a bid to offer me a job and get me to leave my current job. I really love my current job, but haven't had a ...

hey auto, just catching up after my own off the rails / somewhat depressing little episode. So sorry you are going through a rough time, and lots of tough family stuff too. Something in the water the past few days for sure. I was thinking of you the other day, because I want to start reading my olde...

Thanks ladies!. I really don't feel like I'm doing to great, but perhaps that's just due to a big Friday night and overeating weekend. Three days can feel like a looong time when you are stuffed full! I did still do my planned run on Sunday, and cycled to work today. Eating on the other hand is all ...

Wed - run, Thurs - cycled to work. Also green! Very pleased that I'm finally getting back to some exercise. I wrote out a planned schedule for the next few months and stuck it on our fridge. This is both to keep me accountable and so that mr. chef can see what I have planned and help me stay on trac...

One of the most helpful things I read here (can't remember which poster) when I was first starting out was: "You don't have to fix everything about your eating at once". I felt like that gave me permission to just implement the basic rules of No S, without having to worry about the rest of my usual ...

Hmm, bit of funny business yesterday evening - ate a bit of egg and noodle with the kids, then a small plate of kangaroo sausage and mash with my husband. I could try to hand wave it away as "virtual plating", but I'm going to call it a red, because it felt like one. Today, aiming for the letter of ...

No worries, I usually try to edit my posts for "international clarity", as I know most posters are in the northern hemisphere :) I wrote my post vacation update a bit too quickly! Green yesterday, but a heavy dinner plate as it was late and I was very hungry! Green so far today, and walked to work. ...

I would gently suggest that being negative after the fact is unhelpful, and perhaps even feeding the cycle. For me, being angry with myself and castigating myself mentally afterwards is a key part. I would try putting determination / strictness on high beforehand, and if you do have a fail, put comp...

I was in the South West of Western Australia (about 3 hours drive south of my home here in Perth, WA), in a little area called Margaret River. It's winter here, but pretty mild, so apart from a bit of rain our time in the bush was lovely. I've read about the incredible heatwave you have been endurin...

My mother always says that one of the most relaxing things is time by yourself in your own home. I pretty much never get any, but I love it if I do get an hour here or there, as does my highly extroverted husband. Enjoy! I really admire the way you parent your kids so consciously and intentionally. ...

Thanks all! I'm sure it will very soon be put to bed. Just back for 5 days in the beautiful south west with my family. Back to work (and N day!) today, Monday 10th. Now we're fully recovered from coughs and colds, time to get serious about exercise again. Cycling to work and weights at home seems to...

I always liked the saying about parenting "They may not do what you say, but inevitably will do what you do". A big part of my motivation for taking up No S was becoming a mother. I want to be that role model for my kids - so they can see me each day eating satisfying, nourishing meals and having oc...
