21-Gate to a new life.

germanherman · Post by **germanherman** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 9:28 am

Hi!

To make it short, i'm a german, my english is "bad" in every aspects. But i love everydaysystems and i will make a 21 day check in with some small goals:

1. Lose weight (no surprise i guess )
2. Become stronger (silly or?)
3. Increase my language skill
4. Form the habit to make the changes permanent.

So let’s start.

1) Person

I’m 24 years old and 6ft 3 in height. My starting weight is 253 (115 Kilogramm for us metric people) pounds (Doubel Doh!). The next time i will climb the scale is after the 21 days. The last 8 years i handled my body like crap, so it will be a long way to go back. But i know, that the greatest problem was overeating and stuffing junk in my mouth everytime, so NoS is bulletproof for me.

2) Oh, some points

1. I will use SG and NoS-Diet, so no urbanranger here.

2. I will do other sports 3 times the week (Running, Swimming, Martial Arts)

3. I start with a 11 pound Sledgehammer (5 Kilogramm)

3) Last Point
I will also measure some parts of my body on day one and on day 21.

It sounds like you are a man with a plan---and a good plan at that! Keep us updated and I'm sure we'll help anyway we can.

Good luck!

First Day!!!

Yeah-ha.

08/05/2006 Saturday

S-DAY

FAILURE

What? A Failure on the first Day? And on a S-Day? What's wrong with this guy?

Let's see

Meal 1: Cerals with whole-Milk ( 1 plate)
Meal 2: Milan- Rice-Bowl (1 plate)
Meal 3: Cerals with whole Milk (1 plate)

So i eat like it was a No-S-Day. I would say it was okay so far.

But...

14 min SG.

So it was a failure, but a good one

08/06/2006 Sunday// Day 2

S-DAY

FAILURE

Again i SG on a S-Day, but it is ok, as long as i stay with it.

Meal 1: Cerals with whole-Milk ( 1 plate)
Meal 2: Pasta with sauce (1 plate)
Meal 3: Cerals with whole Milk (1 plate)

Snacks& Sweets
2x Mars-Chocolate-Bars

14 min SG.

It was again a good S-Day, with only moderate Ses.

This weekend was a doubel-12-hour- nightshift-thing.

And i promise some measures so:

Shoulders: 125 cm (49,2 in)
Arms: 37 cm ( 14 ½ in)
Waist: 106 cm ( 41,7 in)
Hips: 99 cm (38,9 in)
Chest: 110 cm ( 43,3 in)
Calfes: 41 cm (16,1 in)
Thighs: 64 cm ( 25,2 in)

We will see, what changes in 21 Days on EDS.

I expect no miracles, but to log will help in the first weeks to stay motivated and it is only minimum tracking.

08/07/2006 Monday// Day 3

N-DAY

SUCCESS

Now, that was the first “real” day. It was after my double-nighshift-weekend, so i slept till 12:30 AM (from 06:30 AM = 6 hours sleep)

1. Meal: Cerals with whole-milk. ( 1 plate)
2. Meal: Chilli con Carne (f***ing hot!!!! ) (1 plate)

Only two meals, but it fits for this N-Day. No carvings so far...

14 min SG

1 hour swimming without rest.

PS:
I forgot about my drinks. I only drink good old water (and the milk in my cereals), so thats not a problem.

08/08/2006 Tuesday// Day 4

N-DAY

SUCCESS

1. Meal Cereals with low-fat Milk (0,1% Fat) (1 plate)
2. Meal Small Ice-Sourbet (Fruit) (1/2 plate)
3. Meal Pasta with Veggies (1 plate)

The second meal is why i love NoSDiet. Eat three times the day, moderate meals, you can’t fail to lose fat even if you taste the “forbidden fruits”

14 min SG

That’s all for today folks.

Nothing special today.

08/10/2006 Thursday// Day 6

N-DAY

SUCCESS

1. Meal: Cereals with low-fat Milk (0,1% Fat) (1 plate)
2. Meal: Pea stew (1 plate)
3. Meal: Cereals with low-fat milk (1 plate)

14 min SG
50 min Running

Another one bites the dust... only one day left till the next S-Day and to my great surprise i don’t feel any carving for sweets or snacks. Hell even the slight hunger i felt yesterday between the meals is gone. A glas of water was all i needed. It is like the body relearns to differ hunger and thirst.

I can only imagine how often i ‘ve eaten in the past, when i only was thirsty...

08/11/2006 Friday// Day 7

N-DAY

SUCCESS

1. Meal: Cheese-bun and a wholemeal-bar (1 plate)
2. Meal: Cheese-bun and one croissant (1 plate)
3. Meal: Carrots and beans in sauce (1 plate)

14 min SG

That was the first week. No problems so far. It is impressiv. It is fun. It is not a diet or a rigide exercise-system. NoSDiet is more like a chess-game i play against my habits and SG is plain old fun. I sweated much, but it is more like the games in our boyhood. The first time in my life i can imagine to stay on an exercise/”diet”-program for the rest of my life.

Congrats, germanherman! I like that idea of a chess game.

Keep it up!

08/12/2006 Saturday// Day 7

S-DAY

Partial SUCCESS

1. Meal: Cereals with low-fat-milk (1 plate)
2. Meal: Three small pieces of raspberry-tart (1 plate) [But we know what it is]
3. Meal: Curry-Chicken with rice(1 plate)

Sweets and Snacks
3 Kit- Kat Bars over the day + one small piece marabo-chocolate

14 min SG

First S-Day after 5 Days of N-Days, so i can live with my S’es today. Can’t help, today was such a nice morning, that i had to SG, so this is another good “Failure”.

One single week so far, but it is like im feeling some subtle changes.

1. A small plus on the daily energy-level
2. A somewhat nicer look in the mirror (no wonders, but small steps)
3. A “Argh- Way too sweet”- Taste with the tarf, but i had to eat it (Never decline something your woman of heart made

)

germanherman · Post by **germanherman** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 6:29 pm

08/13/2006 Sunday// Day 8

S-DAY

Some Kind of SUCCESS

1. Meal: McDonald’s Big Bacon and Eggs + 1 Egg McMuffin
2. Meal: Pasta and Onion
3. Meal: Burger King’ Bigg King XXL with Fries & Coke

Sweets and Snacks
5 Cheeseburger
1 Hot Brownie with ice-cream
1 King Sunday

No Exercise Today

Woah. That was a day. It was some kind of an ritual. I eat around 5000+ calories today. But it was in some ways necessary. It was more like the days before i started EDS. I had to say bye bye to some old “friends” (Mc and Burger King). It was like a mental change i had to do. Right now i feel nearly sick, really bloated and in no way good. It was surley the last time in my life i eat so much.

So some things i’ve learned today:

1. Man i can’t believe that i was eating so much on a regular basis!
2. After only one week on NoSdiet the amount of food i can eat without feeling bloated is definitely lower.
3. Let’s talk about money: I spended nearly 20 Euros today for Junk-Food. If i compare this with the money i’ve spended in 5 N-Days i feel the appeal to vomit.

The third point is an interessting fact. Moneywise i don’t know any diet comparable with NoSDiet. All the other diets, eating systems or miracle food come around with high costs, open or hidden. For the majority of them you have to buy a book (small investment, but it counts), join a club or buy some miracle food (so called high quality products). If i stay on NoSDiet i believe i could save nearly 2/3 of my past expenses. After my first 21 days i will take another month and i will calculate my costs.

Compared with the last day, today was a breeze jobwise. But some privat problems made it hard in its own way.

But i stay tuned, every day will be another day with a new start.

PS: Will i ever get to the 2 page in this thread?

germanherman · Post by **germanherman** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 10:21 am

So, after 4 month i'm back on the board.

Last 4 month were my personel hell on earth. Got an "accident" at work (a suspect hit me with his car) and it took me 3 month to walk straight up again.

So there was no NoSDiet and no SG for me since that unlucky day. Now i got lots of rigid fat i want to lose and i start over again. So tomorrow will be day 1 again.

Whow, i can't wrap my head around the fact, that it's been years since i last visit here or wrote something.

But i will change that for sure in the day to come.

So this is the official reopening of my journal.
