Minimizer Just Checking In

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 11:34 pm

Finishing out the month of February as a success. Updating also on the February Challenge thread was a big help!
I'm going to post my weight stats tomorrow after I weigh in the morning.
Loss, gain, or maintain? We'll see.

Breakfast: oatmeal, banana, whey protein; tea
Lunch: egg salad on rice cake; sweet potato; yogurt w/blueberries & peanuts
Afternoon: milk; grape juice
Dinner: chicken breast in tomato sauce w/carrot & potato; broccoli; avocado half; pear

Hi Minimizer,
Whatever your weigh-check reveals, I hope your great attitude and habit-forming on NoS stays strong!

Have a great weekend!

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Sat Mar 01, 2014 6:08 pm

Thanks, auto! You too!

Here's how my weight played out in February, my first full month of
ever sticking with No S.
Starting weight on Monday, Feb 3 was 135.2#
Weight this morning, Saturday, March 1 was 133.4#
(Loss of 1.8# in four weeks' time.)

So my starting weight was right after a weekend and
today's weight was after five straight N Days...
March will be a more accurate reflection I think.
But I'll take these results as an encouragement.

I am not very tall and I am not very young.
BMI on Feb 3 was 24.7
BMI this morning is 24.4
So I am not technically in the overweight category, but I am
at the top end of the 'acceptable' weight range for my height.

I love the routine, the habits, the moderation of No S.
It helps me to feel sane, and like I have control over my
eating habits--but not a neurotic-type control as I followed
WW on-and-off the past two years. Yes, I did lose weight
that way, but I always gain it back and WW is just not
sustainable and not enjoyable. I cannot go back there.

Whether I lose any more weight or whether I don't, I fully
plan to stick with these No S habits--and I'll enjoy it!

Well done minimizer! Since I'm in the normal BMI range I lose very slowly too, but the trend is still to lose and not to maintain so while it's slow it's also fun.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 9:34 pm

Tuesday (Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, etc)
I don't observe this as a special day. Dinner will be late since we're having
guests tonight. I ate a later-than-usual lunch. Trying very hard to keep
my 'no wine' going (18th day!) so we'll see how that goes.
So far today though, it's N for the win!
Be back tomorrow.

automatedeating · Post by **automatedeating** » Wed Mar 05, 2014 2:07 am

Loved your post about being happy with your weight even if you don't lose more. We, I think, are exactly the same height and weight today.

And I agree. I know that I could lose more fat off my body and look more "svelte", but I feel really healthy and strong. That has to count for something, right?

So go minimizer!

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Thu Mar 06, 2014 3:28 am

Yes, auto, I am 5'2". And you're right, I agree!
Well I had failure yesterday, I had a good day
until dinner. We had guests (relatives) for dinner
and they stayed overnight. I had seconds at dinner,
wine with dinner, a small dessert, and a snack at
night. The good news is that I have had a successful
N day today.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Sun Mar 09, 2014 2:01 am

I finished out the week very well, so on the whole I am satisfied.
Maintained my weight from my weigh-in of last weekend.

Today (Saturday) is pretty good.
Breakfast: the usual
Lunch: egg salad, rice cake, banana, peanuts, coconut milk
Afternoon: a healthful snack
Dinner: leftovers and apple crisp

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Tue Mar 11, 2014 6:09 pm

Doing well so far this week. Not so hungry so filling plate with less food and am satisfied with that. Drinking plenty of water between meals.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 12:55 pm

A successful week of green N Days this past week.

automatedeating · Post by **automatedeating** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 2:26 pm

Have a great weekend, mimimizer!

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 1:02 am

Hey auto, hang in there!

Today is Saturday and I just felt like eating like
an N Day. It felt right to just stick with routine
and so I did it--I didn't feel like having a snack
or a sweet. I can always have a treat tomorrow
if I want it before getting back into the weekday
routine next week.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 12:00 am

OK I spoke too soon yesterday--I ended up having a snack at night while
watching television. It was blueberries and almonds.

Today is definitely Sunday "S" Day.
Tomorrow, St. Patrick's Day--I don't observe it as a holiday, so back
to normal.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Wed Mar 19, 2014 2:10 am

Yesterday (Monday) and today (Tuesday) were failed N Days.
Monday was because I had a small snack before dinner.
Today was because I had seconds at dinner.
I am eating very healthful and balanced meals but I
did have those couple of slip-ups this week.
I think that tomorrow will be better.

automatedeating · Post by **automatedeating** » Wed Mar 19, 2014 2:57 am

Hi minimizer,
I recommend REALLY piling up your plate so that you know you've eaten plenty and aren't (as) tempted by seconds!

Hope the rest of your week goes great!

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Fri Mar 21, 2014 10:15 pm

When I messed up earlier this week (Monday & Tuesday), we had visitors both times. Lost my focus I guess.
I have been really working on chewing my food well to help my digestion.
Seems to help a lot--I had been having indigestion issues and that is improving. More on that later.

Tonight's menu is a turkey patty cooked with cabbage, salad, and sweet potato.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:56 pm

Having a good week so far. Pretty sure I will have a weight loss to report
for the month. I'll post it April 1st.
More importantly, it feels so good to be following good habits--I love it!!

eschano · Post by **eschano** » Wed Mar 26, 2014 2:20 pm

Brilliant! Well done

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Fri Mar 28, 2014 2:32 am

Breakfast:
oatmeal & strawberries w/ whey protein & coconut oil; cup of tea

Lunch:
cheese, avocado half, peanuts, pear, leftover brown rice w/evoo, & spinach

Dinner:
omelet, leftover brown rice & cabbage (evoo), mashed sweet potato w/pecans, bell pepper

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Tue Apr 01, 2014 1:11 pm

April 1, Tuesday: My weight is 131.4#
That's a two-pound loss since March 1st.
BMI now stands at 24.0

I am averaging nearly 1/2 loss per week.
Slow but steady so far.

I had four Red (failure) days during the
month of March.

The monthly challenges are helping so much.
My hubs is also No S-ing and that helps too.
Drinking lots of water between meals & having
fewer headaches--I gotta love that!

automatedeating · Post by **automatedeating** » Tue Apr 01, 2014 2:17 pm

You are doing great! Love to see your stats, I like your new signature.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Wed Apr 02, 2014 12:28 am

Thanks, auto.
I hope your April is getting off to a good start!
Let's have a good month!

Breakfast:
oatmeal, banana, whey protein; cup of tea

Lunch: hummus, rice cakes; avocado half; some red bell pepper;
banana; some leftover sweet potato casserole

Afternoon: cup of unsweetened almond milk

Dinner: turkey patty cooked with cabbage & evoo; brown rice;
the rest of the leftover sweet potato casserole; Brazil nuts

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 2:26 pm

I'm having a pretty good month so far. Along with No S eating,
I have also challenged myself to walking for a minimum of 30
minutes each day. My goal would be an hour but that's not
really possible right now--hopefully soon though.
Yesterday I had a terrible headache, but I still made myself
get out and walk for 40 minutes just before dark.
Still have that headache today, darn it!

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 1:24 am

Well I signed up to do the Seven-Day Vegan Pledge for US Veg Week 2014. It takes place April 21 - 27. Looking forward to it!

My menu today has been:

oatmeal, whey protein, banana; tea

leftover lentil stew on rice cakes; yogurt with blueberries & almonds

coconut water; date bars

brown rice pasta with tomato-vodka sauce; salad; sweet potato

automatedeating · Post by **automatedeating** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 1:47 am

Sounds like you are getting lots of exercise and eating healthy!

I get terrible headaches sometimes too--hope yours give you a break!

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 1:38 pm

Hi auto!

Well I had a failure on Monday this week. We had visitors from out of town and my pattern now seems to be that having company disrupts my schedule so much that I find myself eating at irregular times--also having snacks to prevent headaches. And it doesn't help that these guests are real 'foodies'!

OK, back on track yesterday and doing OK so far today.

automatedeating · Post by **automatedeating** » Sun Apr 27, 2014 7:05 pm

Minimizer, I saw how well you are doing in your April Challenge! That is awesome, you are so active! yay!

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Thu May 15, 2014 7:03 pm

Haven't posted in awhile. Out of town for a couple weeks, and then I've been sick with a virus. Feeling better but I'm also having GERD issues going on, and have been for some time. Trying to figure out what to do about that. It is keeping me from eating three full meals each day for the time being.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Thu May 29, 2014 3:38 pm

My indigestion issues have improved. I believe that ibuprofen is the worst thing that I can do to aggravate it, so I will avoid it like the plague. Doing well today, except that with breakfast I ate some Hershey's Kisses that were a gift. I got rid of the rest of them so they are not tempting me now--I cannot keep such things in the house! Planning to eat according to No S principles for the rest of the day. Taking it day-by-day to get back on track.

automatedeating · Post by **automatedeating** » Fri May 30, 2014 2:02 am

Hi there!
Good luck with the GERD. Seems there are several people on the boards that have struggled with that.

And sorry you were sick. That seems common right now, too. Summer is right around the corner!

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 11:22 pm

I'm just completing nearly a week of being back on track--I began again on Tuesday I believe. The GERD is much improved! No wine for the past week and I know that helps. Plus I've come to realize that Advil (ibuprofen) is not good for me--probably the worst thing I can do to cause a GERD flare.

automatedeating · Post by **automatedeating** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 2:31 pm

That's great that you've found a couple "easily-removablle" GERD offenders.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Tue Jul 01, 2014 2:26 am

After doing so well in Feb/Mar/Apr, I fell off the past two months.
Starting over again tomorrow, July 1.
I will participate in the July 2014 Challenge.

Lunch: (leftover) brown rice pasta/sauce/fresh mozzarella casserole;
cooked mustard greens;
plain yogurt with blueberries

Milk to drink this afternoon and tonight

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Sat Aug 16, 2014 7:17 pm

Starting back today. Monday will be an N day. No Special days (holidays, birthdays) the rest of the month. So ten N days and six S days (including today, Saturday) coming up for the rest of August -- sounds doable.

No worries - those fails are done and over with. You are back on track now, and just in time for an S Day, so you can't fail!

We're here with you, just keep on trying, and you'll get some more successes in there.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Wed Oct 15, 2014 6:25 pm

Last week I did pretty well, but not perfect.
Starting off this week with Monday and Tuesday
being successes, plus today so far as well.
I have started using a different scale to weigh
myself. The old one needs a new battery--going
back to an old scale that doesn't need batteries.
Weighing 132-133 this week on that scale.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 1:33 am

Pretty good week, mostly Successes.
Maintaining my weight so far.

Hi Minimizer,
Just stopped by to say hi. How are your habits settling in? It looks like you did well through the end of December.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 8:22 pm

Well, Gingerpie, I did well during early December, and the end of the month I was pleased with.
The rest of the month was quite the disaster.
However, today brings a brand-new, blank canvas.
Today is off to a good start!
I like to see New Years Eve as a holiday (S Day);
and I feel that, for me, January 1st (this year a weekday)
is appropriately observed as an N Day. That will help me
to get off to a very good start this year and besides, Saturday
is almost here!
Happy New Year!

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 3:49 pm

Doing well this new month/this new year. Making a real effort to get more movement into my day. Feeling slimmer already.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Sat Jan 10, 2015 2:26 pm

Finished this past week very well. I've been much busier than usual and that's a good thing. These next several months are going to stay quite busy too, so No S eating is perfect for a busy lifestyle I believe. My resolution is to stick with No S all year and just see where it takes me.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 4:28 am

Had a very good weekend. Good habits are key! Gearing up for another good week.

I've been on again, off again all year so far. I'm disappointed with myself that I haven't stuck with this like I had planned. However, today has been good so far. I'll take this one day at a time.

So far today:
Breakfast--oatmeal w/whey protein, coconut oil, sliced banana; 2 cups of tea
Lunch: hummus on Ezekiel toast, Greek yogurt with almonds

I expect to return tonight with my dinner menu to report.

I hope you get better!

gingerpie · Post by **gingerpie** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 11:32 am

What causes the headaches? Is there a way to address them that makes sense with your no-s goals?

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Wed Jun 24, 2015 10:05 pm

I haven't been having as many headaches, but that's probably because I'm eating more often

Headaches are from low-blood sugar and more unavoidable stress, I think.
I just get headaches easily, too. Advil doesn't help.
I'm going to try tomorrow to see how it goes.
Purple cows between meals for now, it would probably help

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 8:35 pm

Mostly back on track today. One fail was that I had two squares of dark chocolate between breakfast and lunch. Which of course means fail for the day....but I am not letting that mess up the rest of the day.
I didn't sleep much at all last night (I often have insomnia) and I have sworn off coffee and tea since caffeine does not agree with me. Hubs always keeps dark chocolate in the house though and I resorted to having some to get myself conscious this morning. So anyway, hoping to sleep tonight and have an "N Day" tomorrow.

eschano · Post by **eschano** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 8:36 am

I think you deserve a well done! When I have a fail in one period and not let it mess up the rest of the day I'm usually very happy about it.

minimizer · Post by **minimizer** » Thu Aug 20, 2015 10:54 pm

I have been stress eating just about every day.
My weight is close to 140, and has even been above
140 at times this summer.
This morning I weighed in at 138.
(I am not tall.)
I *should* weigh about 120 or less.
I am not happy to accept being heavy and I
won't--it depresses me. My clothes don't fit
and I don't have much energy.

I believe I'll try to stick with No S tomorrow--
a Friday. A very stressful weekend coming up.
Then I will see if I can do it again on Monday.
More later...
