ok, another girl getting ready to shovelglove! i have tried it with a hockey stick and broom... both are too light but the broom feels a bit heavier and distribution of weight is better... just giving myself the time to get the feel of the moves... it is fun... and while im at it i sweep the floors ...

yes, i have been living in switzerland for over a decade... in biel/bienne, not far from bern... i visited france on couple of ocasions... montpellier and carcassonne... nancy... reims... and just passed through paris (made sure to see the eiffel tower, hahahaha) once on our way to rennes... what a ...

i have checked a bit the "eat like a normal person" site , too... i cant relate to everything (but being a, on-off smoker helps to try to relate to the more extreme examples) but i love the writing, the ideas and common sense she has!
thank you!

kaalii

looks good!
2 months yay!!!
nice to have you here, jackn!

keep going!!

Could definitely learn to tip the scales to the right side, here. Most of the time, I feel like a babe in the woods... tossed around by incidental winds. if i was to pick single, most useful thing to tip the scales it would be - gratitude journaling!! i have been journalling since i was 13... it ha...

cedar, it was just one of those days but there were triggers, too... quite minor but untill i dealt with them they kept bugging me pretty hard... and yes, im a bit stressed but much, much better today... thank you! appreciated! :) anxious, vulnerable, lonely, irritated, angry, betrayed... I think it...

kaalii

welcome!!
we have quite some points in common...
i am also new here and i also never had to worry about the weight ever in my life... until recently (im 38 )...
and also did dieting... and also - the price was becoming a diet head...

so, good luck!! and let us know how things are going!

ohh, feeling and looking good in clothes, especially summer clothes is the best!

kaalii

thank you jackn and osoniye! :) tuesday, 12th day of the challenge - success !! i did have a period of hunger today that was challenging... but made it to the mealtime... i felt a bit anxious today, whole day waves of sudden bad thoughts and feelings, feeling vulnerable, lonely, irritated, angry, be...

kaalii

i have to say that no seconds within the 3 meal framework is the most outstanding change i see in the noS diet for me and the best one... and, yes, actually the hardest one, too...i used to have almost "automatic seconds"... always!! while dieting they would not be big... but nevertheless - they jus...

11th day of the challengs, half way there, success!!

i feel good and look good...
peacefull and simple day, if somewhat less active!

kaalii

There's also some napping early in the afternoon, when I get a chance and am totally zonked out. Unrelated to your point, though, is it. I am hopeful about . no, actually, it is really the point... whatever works... i am a practicing naps and siesta also all my life... whenever i can and need, of c...

haha, yes, what a horrid punishment for not believing...

Sorry. Just that it never occurred to me until I read your post that atheists might have fewer S-Days. Thus, a NoSer that wanted to have their cake and eat it, too, would return to God, in order to enjoy all the religious holidays as S-Days. Hope I'm being clear, now. haha, yes... reinhard does act...

Hey, Kaali, a calorie-counter would not allow carbonara to begin with, I think - calorie-counting means low-fat, so no rich foods. nope... calorie counting is what it says - calorie counting... calorie counting is not low-fat diet... nor low carb... calorie counting is whatever diet you wish it to ...

kaalii

im pretty strict, since im new to the noS... trying to get the 21 days without the reds... and after seeing that i had just too many reds in the first couple of weeks - needed a bit of a push into taking the nos seriously... and seriously enough to allow myself to let the calorie counting go... i al...

kaalii

hey, jackn... the sleeping sounds like a real struggle... do you feel like yoga is helpfull? when reading your thread i kept remembering couple of articles i read about some research of how our ancestors seem to had been sleeping... in 2 times... do you think going back to sleep after a period of be...

kaalii

thank you, jackn! the weekend was nice and sunny... went to a concert on saturday, by bycicle... danced there quite a bit... had some drinks (they are a kind of S for me, just because their consumption for me coincides with S days, not clear about it yet, this is something i will let myself become m...

yeee!! so cool, joyday!
let me know how it goes... im curious...

i have just seen one today and thought of noS immediately, dont know the author, the colouring is mine, haha:

"there are no shortcuts to any place worth going"

kaalii

8 days into it - it is working magnificently!! my home looks like i have a maid! :D also, i have noticed it is complementary with stopping calorie counting and starting the nos diet - it liberated so much mental energy and 14min tidy up system has nicely filled the place... :) i have to say - i dont...

kaalii

so great you get to jump in the pool 3 times a week!! awesome!! oh yes, if it's not fun - it's not my exercise... going swimming even once a week would add up to be too expensive for me... but in the summer season i can do it in the lake 10min drive from our house or during summer holidays when i go...

kaalii

haha, jen1974, you actually intuitively invented a version of this diet yourself... cool!
i know quite a number of people who eat this way intuitively all their lives - needless to say, none of them is overweight...

kaalii

great progress, cedar!!

being able to not be afraid of a little bit of hunger and postponing sweets for s-days are huge skills you seem to be mastering so well! im inspired!
and bravo for all the sports you are doing... 8km with injured foot - impressive!!

kaalii

bon voyage! and have a great time in china!

day 7 and the first week of the challenge - success!!! it seems that for now 2 generous and 1 light meal suit me the best... it also seems that i have lost 1kg and 1 cm off my waist size... but this could be just within my normal variations, bloating, water retention etc... i actually dont want to l...

i have moved this topic to its proper place... the link to the first 6 days of my challenge is here: https://everydaysystems.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=10922&highlight= and this is how it started: im almost 3 weeks into the nos to retrieve some sanity into my eating habits... i have never dieted in my l...

ok, since it seems there is no way to move the whole thread i'm opening the new one under the same title in the daily check-in... and i'll copy into it my posts so far...

kaalii

ohh, thank you jen1974!! and yes, nice to be in the challenge together!! ooops, i have also started this thread in the wrong place and i dont know how to move it to the daily check-ins... so,unless someone can help me do that i will keep going here untill i succeed and then open the daily check-in t...

tuesday, day 5 of the challenge - success !! actually, i just had 2 meals so far and it is soon bedtime here for me... but the plates were generous... im still kinda full... but im having a protein+ raw cocoa+ honey+ cinnamon+ coconut milk... with some grapes... i had a very active day at work and t...

kaalii

hey, im here also new and taking my first 21 day challenge since friday!
so we are doing it, more or less, together!

liberty from snacking (even healthy snacking) on n-days is awesome, isn't it?
liberty from counting calories even more!!

hello, automatedeating!
im curious, how does the noSpending system work?
i tried to search for it but havent been successful... it would be hard for me to go through all your thread...
thank you!

kaalii

thank you reinhard, cedar and oolala53! cedar - i love the wisdom the age has brought to you! i have a kind of opposite thing going on - as age seems to be bringing the changes to the body (slight weight gain, among them.. but wrinkles, undereye circles...) i have the feeling im going to lose the ha...

hey, maggiemae, thank you! yes, sanity... sweet sanity... :) so, the day 1 of the restarted challenge is green... tomorrow is S(atur)day and my son's 11th bday party... looking forward to that... we are going bowling with his friends... his real bday is on monday but im not sure it will be also an s...

i have come up with this everyday system today inspired by 14 minutes of any exercise... time or space limit to my cleaning/decluttering always worked fine for me but i have never had a consistent system... habitcal is a great tool for it, it seems... it can develop in a form of decluttering system ...

kaalii

thank you! :) haha, yes, of course i know winterthur... it feels like it is on the other side of switzerland (im in biel/bienne) but that means less than a couple of hours drive... :D yes, we walk and hike loads... and bike... still, in school system they encourage children to 3 meals + 2 snacks a d...

Mods: just starting so vanilla noS, trying to "nail" the 21 day challenge... and plain salad (no cheese, meat, eggs, croutons, rarely french dressing, mostly italian dressing) is in a separate plate... if by any chance it contains one of the above mentioned ingedients - it is part of the plate... I...

im almost 3 weeks into the nos to retrieve some sanity into my eating habits... i have never dieted in my life except for the past year (calorie counting and intermittent fasting 16/8 ) and i arrived at my goal weight slowly but surely and succesfully maintining for 4 months... but i feel i have pic...

kaalii

thank you!! :) yes,portion sizes! noS does the rest! From calorie counting I did learn tricks for creating balanced plates and satisfying meals, so bring skill like that with you. yes, portion quality is what i did learn too... and how much it also influences my hunger throughout the day... let's se...

i eat "lunch" style food for breakfast: veggies - raw or prepared good bread eggs cheese beans leftovers from the day before i'm vegetarian, but if i wasn't i'd eat meat, too, for breakfast basically, no breakfast-food - no cereals, jams, croissants,bagels, spreads... that makes me starving within a...

hi, im 2 weeks into the nos diet... sooooo good! :) i have never been obese, not even overweight in my life... never ever dieted nor paid attention to how much or what i eat (although im a lacto-ovo vegetarian for almost 22years, but that was for purely environmental reasons and now it is just a goo...
