Francois Tremblay check-in
Checking in, one hour before bed. To reward myself in starting No S Habit (I can't call it a diet, that's just horrible), I made my favourite meal, alfredo with chicken, and had one normal plate. Not only was it excellent, but now I have a bucket of leftovers! Talk about an advantage!
For dessert I had some fresh strawberries. For lunch I had a few bites of beef noodles.
I already have to walk two hours a day (or more) due to not having a car, so I am feeling confident about getting in shape. Also, going to bed so early will not only help feel better, but stop the late night cravings that I used to have.
Day 1 completed. I feel very good!

Well, after the previously mentioned entreaties, I decided to have a couple of oat raisin cookies at around 2 (which I count as a delayed lunch). For dinner I had a plate of the leftovers (there's still some left!).
Day 2 completed, but somewhat disheartening due to my wife's lack of support. I'll try to put this behind me tomorrow.

Lunch was a chicken sandwich. Dinner, I made rice with ground beef. Didn't have the sauce I usually use, but it was good. Just realized I forgot to put any vegetables in it.
I had two bites of the leftovers while I was waiting for the rice to cook, to tide me over. Since it was so little, I don't count it as seconds- or will the veterans disagree with me on that one?
Today I had to bear more criticism of my No S Habit. I sure am glad this board exists! Without it, I would probably be disheartened by now. Apart from this criticism, I still feel very confident. Day 3 completed, as far as I'm concerned.

I have not taken S-days this weekend because I don't do any walking on the weekend. I would feel crappy if I took license while I wasn't doing any work. I have made Monday and Tuesday my S-days instead.
Had a big lunch of the rest of the alfredo leftovers (they were getting too dry), so I had a smaller dinner of chicken and mashed potatoes. No dessert.
I'm still thinking about food and the No Ses, but at least I'm not disheartened any more. Day 4 completed. So far so good. I find that I am having little cravings but nothing too hard.

Do you think the diet is affecting your sleep patterns? Someone had a thread on that topic on the discussion board a while back. I think she found that fish oil before bed helped. I can't stand the taste of fish oil but it does come in capsules. I think she had hers with a very small glass of orange juice. She said it really helped. Lots of people jumped in with their ideas and suggestions. Some people felt that it had something to do with blood sugar. Some people felt it would pass with time.
Otherwise, it sounds like you are doing great. Hope you get over the sleep thing soonly.

Hi Francois
If you put your legs up on the wall or can get into the classic yoga pose "Shoulder Stand" a bit hard on the neck if you've never done it, during the day for a few minutes, that might help your sleep...
It's very good for calming the mind, and bringing fresh blood to the brain and thyroid..
Sue, there's actually a very great company for fish oil, incase you wanted to try a brand that tastes quite good... But it's a little pricy.. I still think it's worth it..
Check out www.nordicnaturals.com
They somehow use a strawberry flavor that covers up the fish taste..
So when you burp, it's not a fishy burp..
LOL..
Take care,
Peace and Love,
Deb
