Milly daily check in
Well this is my umpteenth time of No S! I've never really stopped thinking about it as a way of eating, but haven't been following the ideas (or any idea other than eat whatever I want...) in quite some time and have put back on every pound I've ever lost :/ Focusing on habits and reducing my tendency to snack and reach for chocolate is definitely something that I think will help me feel healthier. Plus I think that some accountability by posting here will be good to keep me on track.
So here goes! I have visitors coming in May for a week and we'll likely be eating and drinking out a lot (which I plan to be mostly S days) so I want to get a couple of on track weeks under my belt by then. I'm allowing myself things like fruit juices/smoothies and milky coffees between meals to help stave off hunger.
Monday 22nd April: success
Breakfast - 2 x small hot cross buns
Lunch - chicken salad & crackers, grapes
Dinner - chicken tacos and asparagus
NB: hot cross buns are probably sweeter than I would normally consider an S compliant breakfast, but needed using up, fit on one small plate and I at least avoided the jam!
Tuesday 23rd April: success
Breakfast - carrot and pineapple muffin
Lunch - chicken salad and crackers, grapes
Dinner - leftover taco meat with rice and salad

Thanks liveitup!
Wednesday 24th April: success
Breakfast: smoothie, croissant, soy yogurt
Lunch: chicken salad and coleslaw

Going to have a tea now to stave off any cravings, although the bowl of gnocchi I had was ginormous and very satisfying!

Re: Milly daily check in
Thursday 25th April: fail
Breakfast : carrot and pineapple muffin, grapes
Lunch: panini & salad
Dinner: hummus, pita bread & salad
Also ate some chocolates when I got home from work - an Easter candy package arrived from my in laws and my hunger and sweet tooth won out!
Today is green so far, just need to stay occupied and hold out for the rest of the evening...

Re: Milly daily check in
Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th were S days of course. Ate a fair bit in terms of snacking and sweets each day, but probably not more than I have been before returning to NoS, so it should still be less over the week!
Monday 29th: green
Breakfast - carrot and pineapple muffin
Lunch - cauliflower curry and naan, yoghurt
Dinner - fishcakes and green beans, handful of almonds
NB: made sure almonds fit on my regular sized plate along with the rest of my dinner!
Tuesday 30th: green
Breakfast - carrot and pineapple muffin
Lunch - cauliflower curry and naan, yoghurt
Dinner - chicken and fries
Not been having the healthiest dinners but they fit on one plate, small steps... It was funny how on Monday I was dreading the time from lunch at midday to dinner at 7pm ish and assumed I'd be starving once I got home and 'need' to eat, but it was actually OK. Hoping the rest of the week can be the same!

Re: Milly daily check in
Thanks! The plates could stand to include more veggies but hey, one thing at a time After the first day of 'oh my god I'm so hungry what the hell' it's definitely become a little more tolerable.
