Thanks for the encouragement Renee and Kat! I had my third green day in a row today. I know 3 doesn't sound like a lot, but I've been so off track since the holidays that it's big for me! Was super busy after school today so I did not get on my exercise bike....one thing at a time! Still making slee...

What a wonderful testimonial about your exercise. GREAT! :D And...yes, I agree that the best way to change a habit is to replace it with another one. I should come home from work and jump on my exercise bike! That would be MUCH better than snacking!!

My vote would be to stop logging and don't worry about it!! I know we do have some folks on here that do both...NoS and count calories. I am not one of them. :wink: Just eat your three plates of food a day. If you feel satisfied, don't worry about it!

Sleep or Exercise

The first time I did NoS (started Oct. 10) I discovered the importance of sleep for me. I thought I was feeling so run down and miserable because of my weight, but discovered how much better I feel when I get sleep. While I was working on my NoS habits I worked on my sleep habits. That habit has stu...

Day 7 is :mrgreen: GREEN! We had a two hour fog delay this morning. SOO nice! So, I got on my exercise bike and pedaled for 30 minutes. This is big since I have not exercised in a few months. Now, if we could just have another two hour delay tomorrow I'd be set! :wink:

Looking for recommendations on a video/dvd to workout my legs. Not really looking for aerobic type videos, but strengthening type. Really want to work on my legs. Arms would be good too though. Thanks!
