It's the start of summer and I challenge you to reach 21 days straight! You can either start now, wait until the last 21 days (maybe not the best idea) or finish what you've already started.
This is for anybody who needs encouragement and accountability. Think of this as your own little cheering section.

- Post once at the top and edit that first post all month with your progress. It's easier to skim-read and find each other that way.
* Please re-read that last one, some people don't get it.
- after June 2nd we will continue posting at the bottom for encouragement and fun.
- anyone can start whenever, the more ~ the merrier!

Well, I'm off to a fresh start with day one on the first of the month. :roll:
June
1 :mrgreen: And day 1 for me. Good day considering I was surrounded by teen girls snacking. Walked over 10,000 steps before noon. Ha! Wiped by midnight.
2 :wink: Out of controll
3 :wink: no control. ug!
4 :mrgreen: :wink: little S event today for my son's birthday. One piece of cake, that's all. No extras and no icecream!
5 :mrgreen: I wish that cake would disappear.
6 :mrgreen: yea! tough one. That stupid cake is almost gone.
7 :mrgreen:
8 :mrgreen: And I am going to try to eliminate my binge weekends by eliminating Sdays and adopting only s events (see daily for details)
9 :wink: :mrgreen: it went great today! One S event. I even forgot to make the icecream that I waited all week to have! Woohoo!
10 :wink: controlled day.
11 :mrgreen: I'm pumped from the successful weekend
12 :mrgreen:
13 :oops: failed. Cookies are my enemy!
Well, I made it to 12 days. I guess I'll start again...

I'll start tomorrow, May 30 to June 19. Most of May is gone and was pitiful for me. I need to do 21 days straight, no S Days. I don't do well if I give myself a choice and I think in order to form the habit I can't break it on the weekends. We'll see how it goes. Probably can't be any worse than this past month.

Ok. May was pretty awful for me as far as NOS is concerned and I've already flubbed up today. I had to make a dessert for the family reception after my uncle's funeral and I've been eating on the leftovers ever since. I had the next to last cappucino brownie after I finished my lunch this afternoon. The only reason I didn't eat the last one as well is that I knew my son would want it when he got home. I guess I should be happy that my maternal love is strong enough to over-ride my desire for the last brownie.

Another part of my problem this week has been a lack of sleep - when I don't get a good night's sleep I have the most difficult time sticking to NOS, plus I haven't got the energy to exercise, which would help me get better sleep at night. Sigh.

My 21 days will start tomorrow - I love starting on an S day. Goals are: Vanilla No S, Walking/running each day - walks at least 15 minutes, runs 3 times per week to finally finish up that C25K training- and 14 minutes of any other exercise of my choice every N day.

I'm in. My quarterly weight posting is on June 20. I'm aiming for the Reinhard trifecta of No S, 14 minutes, and walking/cardio. I like dance classes and am attending a dance camp in July so I may push the cardio envelope a bit, but it will be for camp stamina.

June 1. green and 75 minute dance class.

Well, it's June 29 and I haven't kept track well. I had many green N days but a fail yesterday. I've been to 10 Jazzercise classes since June 12, though. And one or two dance classes. Ramping up for camp.

Hoping to do better for July.

Never giving up on myself

Post by loligoss » Sun Jun 03, 2012 2:19 pm

May was a washout...

I'm really going to focus this month. As I find that when I don't eat the way I should I get ill.

Right now I have stomach aches, runny nose, runny eyes, feel blahh, have no energy at all for anything

Aiming for:
Sunday - Thursday
3 - 4 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner and small snack/meal before after dinner depending on if I go to swim/exercise in the gym)
S Days are:
Friday (from dinner) - Saturday night
Thu 14th of June is a surprise dinner party for my Mum so that will be S too.
Try to not have seconds even on S Days
No binging. - That's the hardest part

Exercise: at least 30 min Sun, Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri, and maybe Sat.

Starting June 3rd

June 3rd - practice run
June 4th - :mrgreen: exercise :mrgreen: food. Had 4 meals
June 5th - :mrgreen: food :oops: exercise - overslept and too much going on at home after work to be able to exercise.
June 6th - :mrgreen: food :mrgreen: exercise
June 7th - :mrgreen: food :mrgreen: exercise (cardio + walking)
June 8th - S day starts this evening although I did have to taste the food while I made it and they are very S... :mrgreen: exercise swimming
(40 laps). Tonights treet PB (home made) cookies
June 9th - S day. Planning to eat my treats. Choc-chip home made muffin for breakfast with figs on the side. Maybe ice cream (although I will prob opt for frozen banana with macademia dates and yogurt for my treat while the others have ice cream). Vodka on melon (got a great CSA melon) at lunchtime for dessert. Maybe additional nuts/halva will see according to my mood...
food S day: Ok I did eat too much but no binge! For me this is huge.
exercise: :mrgreen: Kathy Smith interval video.
June 10th - Hard to go back to N days... exercise: :mrgreen: food: :oops: I did well for breakfast and lunch. At supper I had seconds and thirds..Lucky hubby rang for me to pick him up that got me away from the food.
June 11: exercise: :mrgreen: food: Still eating too much. Hope supper is k. Overate at supper again. Need to plan supper better.
What do you guys eat for supper?
June 12: exercise: :mrgreen: Kathy smith interval video food: so far so good but out this evening at my daughter's school. Have to make wise choices. Lacking lots of hours of sleep
June 13: exercise: Shred with weights :mrgreen: food: OK almost not... :shock:
June 14: My Mum's 70th because I was worried about binging at the do I ended up eating too many freshly baked chocolate granola bars (made for my 16 year old to gain some weight...). Skipped dessert at the do. exercise: Kathy smith
June 15: S day already eaten too much :roll: ...hope tomorrow I'm more careful. I swam 32 laps :mrgreen:
June 16: The one thing I can say is that I didn't binge but boy did I eat. It was as if I was obsessed with getting all my treats in a 24 hour period. I feel really yucky this morning and added a kilo to my already large number on the scale...exercise: tae bo :mrgreen: :roll:
June 17: exercise :mrgreen: food: :mrgreen: although I did add seconds..my plate was too small..well I have to watch that type of excuse
June 18: No exercise :cry: Food: Ok
June 19: exercise, Kathy Smith Food: OK but I did taste the food I was making to have food in as my teens have finished school for the year.
June 20: exercise :mrgreen: Food: :mrgreen:
June 21: exercise a lot of it. Went to the center of town walked from the central bus-station about 30 min and then back again later on...+ 20 minutes when I went to meet my Mum for lunch. Food: OK but not great choices
June 22: S day kind of let lose on myself in the kitchen. As this is a cooking day I spend most of it in the kitchen and end up tasting and eating far too much. Exercise: Kathy smith
June 23: S day overate far too much. :mrgreen: Exercise: Zumba and Ripped in 30
June 24: Food: ate 4 meals. I tend to have to go in the kitchen straight after work and that's the worst time for me...as I just eat anything in sight.
June 25: Food :roll: Exercise: Ripped in 30 and Tae bo. What works for me is to split the exercise in two. 30 minutes am and 30 minutes pm
June 26: Food: hmm not sure yet as we are out at a Bar Mitzvah tonight...will see what I choose to eat. I split lunch as I was out at a conference about Raw Food and had two of their crackers with spread but an hour later when I was home had an apple and rice cake with pb.
Tried to control myself at the do but I did overeat. I didn't have the meat in the meal but there was lots of food on offer. What I was proud of was ordering a drink that was too sweet it had 7up I don't drink that stuff ever. So I looked at my pretty drink and left it at the table. They had an amazing fruit selection and that was far too much..
June 27: Food: semi ok during the day but then at night :evil: I binged so badly. I was 23 days without a binge and I screwed up big time. At least I binged on healthyish food..nuts and chocolate rice crispies bakes, but I ate so much I couldn't eat till way past lunch the following day
June 28: :oops 15 minutes of walking (got to work early so took a walk around the block) but no other exercise. Food ok. Did eat too much granola at nighttime but no binge
June 29: S day. Grazed and tasted food all day. This is my cooking day so I have made peanut butter, almond butter, paleo banana bread, roasted pumpkin (the first CSA pumpkin this year), chicken breasts for tonight, taco meat for tomorrow, preserved lemons (my kids friends parents have a lemon tree), quinoa and zucinni bake, coconut cream + papaya + pineapple and pineapple juice, 1 tbs honey blended together and set in fridge.
Roasted eggplant (with home made tahini filling), roasted garlic (to add to salads in the week), lettuce and spinach washed, spun and put in bags in the fridge.
Roasted desiccated coconut and roasted pumpkin seeds.
Exercise: Went swimming with my 13 year old and got 32 laps in. It is so
hot here that I was so happy.

I am going to join the July challenge too. What works for me is to be a bit more flexible so I need 3-4 meals a day, no seconds, no snacks, no sweets. sometimes even 5 depending on what I am doing that day.
I want to commit to 5 days of exercise.

I haven't lost any weight this month but I did only binge once which is huge for me.

Renee, thanks so much for pointing out that there is still time to get 21 days in! I am discouraged right now but I am not about to give up. Just need to get a string of green days going...

Last chance to get 21 in this month!!!
If you've not done well... start now! It's not too late! You can do it. Saturday and yesterday were Sdays, so you're already on 3!
I guess this doesn't work unless you actually do it.
Please pray for me

Joining for June

Post by jenp » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:09 pm

I'm just starting out, but I am quite confident I can get 21 under my belt!

June 10 - :) Moderate S Day
June 11 - :) :)
June 12 - :)
June 13 :)
June 14 :)
June 15 :)
June 16 :) - S Day; ate what I wanted when I wanted, but didn't over do it
June 17 :) - S Day; over did it a little, but feeling good and ready to get back on to three meals a day tomorrow!
June 18 :)
19 :)
20 :)
21 :)
22 :) This week was great, but I weighed myself and I'm not losing. This is only my second week, though, and I've been feeling so peaceful around food that I don't think I even care if I lose weight!
23 :) Totally overdid it today, but it's an S day, so I guess it's okay. It doesn't even feel good, though; I'm too full! I think tomorrow I'll just eat three meals as I would on a weekday.
24 :) I still overdid it a smidge in the evening. Not sure how I'll approach weekends in the future
25 :)
26 :)
27 :)
28 :) I struggled today but I made it! I had to sit with some of my feelings and process them instead of eating, which is a challenge for me, but thank goodness this plan forces me to!
29 :) I am so glad it's the last day of the week. I'm ready to eat some chocolate this weekend! Also, tomorrow will be day 21 and it's an S day, so I guess I completed the challenge! I'll be trying again in July, too. I haven't lost much weight. I hope for more next month.
30 :) S day!

Had a small fail yesterday when my S day was over - so I won't be able to get 21 days in a row on habit - BUT I can still shoot for 21 days TOTAL on habit, so that is what I am going for now... :wink:

Go! Go! Go! Some of you are still doing great! Finish the month off with a grand run!!! Hope to see you up for the challenge for July where I will not bomb out so fast and hopefully get my computer back from the computer hospital! :roll:
I guess this doesn't work unless you actually do it.
Please pray for me
