So I had good S days over the weekend and then a failure on the Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK. I think I had too little at lunchtime and then needed a snack in the afternoon. So far today is going well and I am hoping to put a green square on my calendar for today tomorrow morning.

Welcome! Sometimes it takes a bit of tweaking to figure out the right amount of food you need to get you to the next meal. I know I often had to white knuckle it between meals in the beginning but I found milky tea or coffee helped a lot.

Good luck!

Linda

Firstly thank you Linda for your advice, but milky tea or coffee would not work for me as I drink my tea black, but I agree with you I just underestimated my lunch requirements.

Anyhow back to Tuesday and this was a success so I have got my green box on my calendar. I also had quite a bit of physical exercise as we spent the afternoon pulling out brambles and cutting down shrubs and we have the tidying up process to continue today.

Hoping for another Green day this Wednesday

Wednesday was a Success and so on to Thursday and the beginning of September.

Brilliant! Have a good Friday - the weekend is on it's way

Thursday was a fail - I do think I know why but I am not going to make excuses. So on to Friday and I intend to have a better day.

How was Friday? Saturday coming up - have a good one!

PS - did you see Reinhard's post on the General Discussion Forum - about having a RED day?

Loubie69 · Post by **Loubie69** » Sat Sep 03, 2016 5:33 am

Firstly thanks for the comment Rawcookie (Gill) - no I did not see the discussion on Red days I will go read it.

Secondly Friday was a success and my weekly weigh in this morning saw me down 1.8lbs, so even though I did have a couple of excessive days, all the gardening and extra exercise I have done this week plus upping my water consumption seems to have helped.

Now I can relax for a couple of days being the weekend, although I have no intention of going crazy before concentrating on another week. I am sure once I have been back on this for a few weeks it won't be a challenge just a way of life.

Persistence brings rewards with No S. Focussing on the N day behaviours is definitely the way to go. Check out the Podcasts when you need some support - I still go there to top myself up with No S wisdom!

I know you had a good S weekend - how did Monday go, Lisa?

Loubie69 · Post by **Loubie69** » Tue Sep 06, 2016 6:02 am

Monday was a fail - I had a disturbed nights sleep Sunday and come tea time Monday I was flagging. Tiredness for me often results in bad food decisions and this happened. On to Tuesday which is going to be better.

What kind of a fail was it? Only share if you want to. If you are really desperate in the afternoon, having a snack to tide you over (especially at the beginning) is not a big fail. The trick is not to throw in the towel and just give up for the day - eating everything and anything! Keep your 'fail's small - and you'll gradually find they subside - well, mine did at least!

Have a great Tuesday!

Hi Lisa - how're you doing? It's Thursday - only one more day to the weekend!
