Ann's Check In

Hello,
Sort of started No S last Monday on May 14th. Did so so. This week same thing. I am going of officially start No S tomorrow, Friday, May 25th. Maybe that will work better for me than starting on a Monday. It will be very challenging on Friday, because it is a big treat day at work. Should be fun!

Positive thoughts!

Wow, a whole week went by already. Did so so last week, not great, but better than usual. I have enlisted by husband as my diet coach, hoping that will help me during the week of No S. On a personal note, my grandson is going to be born any day now. Looking so forward to being a Grandma!!

Positive thoughts!

I am going to count this day a success. My first official day, Monday, June 4th, with my hubby helping me. I actually made it through what I call the witching hour, 3:00 pm at work, when my mind is yelling GIVE ME SUGAR!
I just ignored it and by the time I was driving home from work, I was hungry for dinner. This is a great success for me. Snacking and dessert at night is the thorn in my side. If I can get through the witching hour at work, and have the support of my hubby at night, this will finally work for me.

Positive Thoughts!

Ann - congratulations on your successes! Isn't No S great? I know full well what you mean. My "witching hours" are after work and in the evenings too! It does becomes easier with time, though - I began in April and I never thought I'd ever be able to get through the afternoons and evenings without snacking - but it can be done! Congratulations on becoming a grandma - I too am awaiting two new babies in the fall - one in August and one in September. Can't wait!

Good work on avoiding the snack monster!

I am going to be a first-time Grandma in July, so I share your joy!

Hi Jammin' Jan,
I am now a Grandma

! Christopher Bruce was born June 7th, 9lbs. & 21" long. I had success all last week. My hubby & I did indulge in a little bit of dessert on Thurs. night. We considered that an S day since our grandson was born that day! Here's to next week of No S'ing. Is this going to be your first grandchild that is coming next week?

My new sign off name, Grandma Ann

I just reread your post, Jammin' Jan & I see that you are going to be a first time Grandma in July, not next week like I just said on my last post

I'll look forward to hearing about you first grandchild!

Grandma Ann

Last week I had one failure. It was at work when a co-worker offered me a piece of chocolate. That's okay, I'm still doing better that before I started No S. Now when I have a slight failure, I don't just give up and say "Oh I messed up, might as well eat everything in sight". I enjoyed my little piece of chocolate and started again from there. I hope everyone has a nice evening.

Happy Thoughts!
Grandma Ann
