Everyday Systems

Day 1: SUCCESS!
Had breakfast, lunch and dinner, no snacks seconds or sweets.

I am so addicted to having something sweet in the evening after dinner. That is going to be the biggy for me, desserts in the evening. One day at a time is the only way I will be able to accomplish this. If I think ahead, it is too overwhelming for me.

Day 2 SUCCESS!

No Snacks, seconds or sweets. Even when my hubby had ice cream last night for dessert I stayed clear. Someone on this board suggested brushing your teeth after eating, great suggestion. After supper last night I did brush my teeth and I think that did help me not eat anything more that evening.

Hugs!

Way to go! Is it any easier this time around?

Hi David,
Thanks for the encouragement! Yes, it does seem a little easier this time, I think for a couple of reasons.
1) I have tried so many different things that I am tired of it and just want something sane and simple.

2) I've always been an exerciser, but in the last year I am in daily pain from a birth defect in my lower vertebra. Now that I am in my 40's it has popped up. I'm still trying to find some form of exercise that does not aggravate that area. Any suggestions?

P.S. Day 3: SUCCESS!

Hugs!

My wife swears by the Pilates method, but don't start off w/videos--find a good instructor who can understand your needs. Swimming would likely be good as well. Tai Chi or Yoga might do the trick, but once again, I would recommend a -good- teacher and lots of patience.

Way to go Carrie Ann! I just started back also, and this time I think we will both be big winners! Best regards, Bob

Thanks Bob, I think we will both be winners too! Thank you David for the excercise suggestions. Day 4 & 5 SUCCESS!

Happy S weekend to everyone out there!
