Judith's Daily Check-in
A perfect first day, and it was even easy!
I won't call my meals Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, since I eat at erratic times; instead, they'll be 1, 2 and 3.
1. Amy's organic frozen pizza with whole wheat crust, roasted vegetables and no cheese. The whole thing fit on a plate so I ate it.
2. Small Stouffer's TV dinner with turkey, stuffing, gravy and mashed potatoes. I had thought maybe frozen meals would be a good way to go, but this was vile. Only 300 calories, but barely edible.
3. Two pieces of toast, two poached eggs, one small avocado.
Weighed in this morning and starting weight is 237. Will weigh every three weeks and post here.

Sorry about the "vile" food! LOL...2. Small Stouffer's TV dinner with turkey, stuffing, gravy and mashed potatoes. I had thought maybe frozen meals would be a good way to go, but this was vile. Only 300 calories, but barely edible.
Not sure if they have Trader Joe's in BC, but if they do, they've got a bunch of lovely frozen dinners, like Indian food and Burritos etc....
Usually I don't get too much frozen entrees because they are pricey and for the four dollars or so I spend on one of them, I can get a whole family pack of chicken...
If you pre make a pot of rice or some kind of noodle type thing you can always add some chicken or beans and nuke it for a quick solution...
Have a nice weekend Judith!
Peace and Love,
Deb
Day 2
It's been perfect, according to definition. Struggled (and continue to struggle) with desire for sweets tonight, and truly only the knowledge that tomorrow I can actually have them is what kept me on track. Thank you for that stroke of genius, Reinhard. It's better that it's two days, too, not just one - not so that we can have two wild days, but so that we don't feel that we HAVE to have a wild day in order to get everything in in 24 hours. I would feel under the gun if that was all I had, instead of feeling comfortable and patient.
But I AM looking forward to tomorrow. It's already past midnight, so theoretically it's already tomorrow, but I know self-delusion when I see it.
Today meals:
1. Wiener schnitzel with mashed potatoes, fall-veg medley (carrots, parsnips), and creamed carrots.
2. Indian dinner - naan with small amounts of dal, fish, rice and mixed vegetables
3. Tofu and broccoli in black bean sauce on rice.
The 14 words made a lot of difference to me today.

First S-day
What a disastrous S-day this was! My very first S-day . . . and I had no appetite! Finally ended up eating somethng at 10 pm, mostly because I thought I should, and of course the day isn't over yet, but it was amazing to me that knowing I COULD eat seemed to eradicate cravings, whereas when I'm on a traditional diet and CAN'T eat, nothing can stop me from bingeing. You're definitely onto something here, Reinhard.
Knowing that tomorrow was another S-day helped, too. I think if I only had today I WOULD have eaten, because the pressure would have been on.
Today's food (I'll post if I eat again later):
1/2 chicken breast, mashed potatoes, peas, corn. Very little of each.
I'm loving this and soooooo grateful. I am completely at peace.

Yeah, my first ever S day was wierd like that too! The only thing I really craved was a huge bunch of juicy grapes!!!!!!
These days my S days vary a lot, from totally MAD eating, to eating even less than I would normally have done during the week. I find a lot of it depends on what I'm doing over the weekend. Like yesterday, I had so much to do, I didn't have time to eat a great deal. Today I've just come back from a loooong cycle ride (my first ever bike ride longer than 5 miles, I think!) so I've only just had my lunch.
Glad it's going well for you. It's a real help to know that you can eat what you want on weekends and you're right that 'because you can, you won't always want to'.

I think you'll find that S days can vary considerably. I've had days similar to the one you've described (just not hungry at all), and then I've had days where I've just eaten anything wafted under my nose (Like this weekend! ).
But it doesn't matter - just keep N days as N days and everything will be OK.

Back from a day out of town
Yesterday, Sunday, I again had no appetite, so ate only one meal. Had soup and a main dish, then was still hungry(ish), but instead of ordering a dessert, ordered another bowl of soup. That filled me up and I felt better about it.
So a weekend with not one sweet. Now today, of course, I feel like having some, but I'm telling myself only four days to go, and I don't want to do anything to jeopardize this plan.
Maybe there's an inverse correlation between being allowed to eat something and wanting it. Wouldn't surprise me - when diets are rigid, you just want to rebel.
I remember one time I had not eaten animal products for about seven months, though I had never "decided" to be vegetarian. After that time, I thought to myself, "Well, it looks like I'm not interested in meat any more. So I guess I'll commit to being a vegetarian" - and that night I went out to an all-you-can-eat prime rib buffet.
I always feel "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!!", even when it's only me doing the telling.

Ah, the perversity of the human mind... Reinhard always says that this way of eating has as much, if not more to do with the psychology of it all than the actual consumption part! It's good to know though that we can trick ourselves into behaving well using the same mechanisms that so often undermine us.
Glad you finally found something that brings you some peace and wellbeing.
Be sure not to keep up the good work (on the principle that you'll want to do exactly the opposite of what someone tells you to )

Day 6
1. Chicken cordon with steamed carrots
2. 1 1/2 bagels with butter, cream cheese and a little lox
3. Chicken cordon with spinach, brown rice and a little butter
Don't know if chicken cordons are known in the States, though we call them that here. Originally from "Cordon Bleu", it means a chicken breast rolled around a little filling and baked. Fillings can be anything - ham and cheese; feta/spinach/sun-dried tomato; polenta/bacon/mushroom, etc. There's maybe two pitiful tablespoons of filling inside, max.

ONE WEEK DOWN!!!
I've had seven successful days! Yippee!!! I can do this!!!!
Today's meals:
1. bagel, butter, cream cheese, lox
2. whole plate-sized thin-crust vegetable pizza
3. chicken cordon, brown rice with a few olives, rutabagas with butter
I am happy that I'm sticking to the parameters of the diet, but not so happy with my food choices - a lot of refined carbs and fat, very few vegs and fruit. I've still got a bunch of bagels and cheese in the house, but am working my way through them and hope to start with healthier fare on November 1st. We all know the first of the month is magical, right?

Hey Judy!
I bet, somewhere in you diet cookbook arsenal, you have one which warns against the evils of bagels!!! LOL..
Look.
As long as it fits on your plate, enjoy your *whole* bagel without the guilt!
Oy vey~
PS...
I would be more than happy to send you some NY size bagels one day in a care package!
But you'd have to promise not to give them to your neighbors... Well not all of them....
Lox is soooo yummy, but it's so salty that I always get super thirsty after that... It's pretty expensive too... Probably better prices on salmon for you up there!
Peace and Lox,
Deb

Lox
This being the salmon capital of Canada, lox is indeed reasonably priced. To get it for even less, I usually buy lox trim, which is the little bits and pieces that are left after they slice it. Doesn't look as good, but tastes the same.
I currently have three large packages of sliced lox (not trim) here, as a friend was going to Costco yesterday and asked if she could pick something up for me. Unfortunately, she did not check the Use By dates, so I ended up with one that should have been removed from the shelves a few days ago, and two set to expire November 1st. Opened one, and it is vile slimy mush.
Time to start making healthier choices, I think. On November 1st . . .

Saturday's food
S-day. Dribs and drabs here and there.
Half a bagel with butter, cream cheese and lox.
Chicken baked with prunes and olives.
A little coconut rice with peas.
Wanted nothing. Ate little. Enjoyed nothing. It's like I can't generate any interest in food. Don't mind.

Sunday's food
Another day of here-and-there eating, none of it enjoyable. I definitely prefer the structure of NoS days. In fact, I'm planning on initiating a general structure as of November 1st, to include a scheduled wake-up time and scheduled meals. Insomnia may make this difficult, but I'm making an actual commitment:
FROM NOVEMBER 1ST UNTIL CHRISTMAS DAY, 2005,
I WILL EAT LUNCH BETWEEN 12 - 1:30
AND
DINNER BETWEEN 6 - 7:30
AND
GET OUT OF BED NO LATER THAN 12:34 PM.
LUNCH AND DINNER WILL BE EATEN OUT.
I don't like commitments, and rarely make them, so when I do, I'm serious.
There WILL be a third meal, but that will be something at home at night.

12:34
I always set the alarm for some number that adds up to 1, which is God.
This time it's 12:34, because I have to get to a restaurant before 1:30, in order to make my scheduled lunch (12 - 1:30).
As for moving from bed to sofa - actually, it's a La-Z-Boy, and incredibly comfortable. More often than not, I fall asleep in it, which makes falling asleep at night even worse.
BTW, CaroleJo, I'm sure your name is pronounced Carol Jo, but I always think of you as Carolayho, the Spanish way.

*chuckles* Yes, I'm Carole, my middle name is Jo. My given names are not actually linked up / run together or hyphenated in any way in real life. You're not the first to say that about the mexican way though. Deb's son Richard also always thinks of me as 'Carl-Lay-Ho'!
Arriba!
btw, what happened to using Judith? You seem to have fallen back into Jood, Joodith, etc.
Are you also going to 'urban range' to your eating places for Lunch and dinner, or are they too far away for that?

Jood, or . . .
I always think of myself as Judy, though the name on my birth certificate is Judith. Though I like the name, I find it aloof and almost pretentious. It doesn't feel like "me" at all.
Then a chance meeting with a stranger (in the supermarket, of course!) got me thinking. She believes that to change your name is to change your life. I'm happy with my life, but couldn't help being intrigued by the concept, so I thought I'd try it out here. Plus, there was another Judy posting in the Daily Check-in Forum (though I think she's disappeared).
Thing is, though, I can't get used to Judith, which results names like Jood and Jooooodith. So maybe I'll just go back to Judy and be done with it. Unless, of course, I want to see what the name Esmeralda would do to my life . . .

Monday check-in
Copacetic. (Don't think I've ever used that word - if, indeed, it is a word).
1 Baked beans, wild rice salad, potato-cabbage casserole
2 Chinese "Dinner for one" - chicken chow mein, chicken chop suey, breaded almond chicken, on one plate.
3 sushi (California roll), smoked salmon
Got up at a normal time, ate at normal times, think I'll sleep at a normal time tonight.
Walked.

Yo!!! Joods!
I agree with CJ
NoS is so non-confusing and so enjoyable...
It doesn't tax our systems and make us nuts...
That is worth soooo much...
It is my heartfelt wish that Reinhard, does incredibly well with his future book endeavor...
He deserves to benefit from this, as it's helped soooo many people on a deep level, like you describe...
No other diet on the planet could ever tout that it promotes
Peacefulness!
Actually, it has been a real "Rock" for me, over this year...
When everything else in my life seems wacko, I could always depend on some semblance of sanity in my life in at least my eating ways, and enjoyment of meals!!! Yahooooo!
Yayyyyyy!!!!!!
Good for you Judith...
Love,
Deb

Alllllllllmost made it
After 20 SUCCESSful days, with only one day to go till I made the 21-day club, I lapsed today. It wasn't a terrible lapse, I didn't go round the bend, but I did have more than one plate at a buffet. I wasn't even hungry, nor was I enjoying the food - it was more thoughtlessness, sloppiness and downright brattiness on my part. I was going to cut corners, not put any effort in, and do things my way. With the usual outcome, of course.
I posted a snivelling entry on the general board, asking for absolution, pointing out how close I was to making the 21-day club. If I was sufficiently pitiful, maybe I'd get away with this little slip! Even considered not coming clean about it at all. But have come to understand, really understand, that this is not about rules, or others' approval, or making the elite 21-day club. It's about completely changing how I've always been about food, and about dieting for that matter.
I am thrilled with my decision to start the 21 days over. I feel I've learned something important, and grown.

Nothing else to add really.
Good for you.
That's really the best thing anyone can ever do. I think it's our primary function, our 'raison d'etre' for being alive.I feel I've learned something important, and grown.
I'm really pleased for you.

Tuesday's food
Meal 1 - tofu lasagna, potato salad
Meal 2 - Chinese buffet - Not "all I could eat" (by a long shot!), but more than one plate. Lapse. FAILure. Funny stuff. Call it what you will.
Meal 3 - eggs and avocado
Back to square 1. My next 21-day shot starts Wednesday, though I'll still post my weight on Thursday and every 21 days after that.
OK, so I haven't got this thing licked yet, but I sure as heck do have the SSSSSSSolution.

Almost nothing but carbs, but what the heck.
Weighed myself today after 21 days, and have lost 5 pounds, from 237 to 232. Most pleased. And S days are around the corner. I suppose Remembrance Day/Veterans' Day doesn't count as an S, unless, perhaps, you Served?
