Everyday Systems

I found this place only yesterday, but I was practically fasting on Monday because I just felt like crap. So my first three days were actually "mostly" successful. I feel pretty thrilled about having found this program, by the way!

We go out every Wed night for dinner with a group of friends. There was a little funny stuff involved, b/c I ordered 2 virgin marys instead of having water. Also when we got home (some of the group usually comes by our house after dinner to visit & listen to music,) I did drink quite a bit of diet soda, (as a filler for the drinks I'm used to having.) Otherwise I have pretty much cut out all artificial sweeteners.

One thing I do a little differently than recommended; when I have fruit with a meal, I have the fruit first, then wait a few minutes for it to digest before I eat the rest of the meal. I do this to help with good digestion. BTW, it's usually frozen blueberries, they are an incredible treat, low calorie, lots of fiber, tons of vitamins...

I love this daily check-in journaling thing. Wow this program and board just have EVERYTHING you need to be successful. Anyway here I go on day 4, I'm STOKED!

Good luck Rose Ann! This board and the Genearl discussion board are great resources to see that everyone on here is human and we share our real strength, experience, failures & hope. So dig in... it's just a matter of changing a habit. A hard habit, but still...just a habit.

Well, this is the last day of my first week. The first 4 1/2 days went really wonderfully. However Friday evening was not perfect, we had houseguests arrive for the weekend and that's when the party started. I didn't do too badly Friday evening. Saturday afternoon and night were a virtual unending snackfest (somewhat "normal" for a weekend of company and football watching & partying...)

Today is Sunday. The guests just left. I'm done with the 48 hours of snacking, sweets, etc. My first 2 S days were a lot more out of hand than I wanted them to be, but not really any different than they would have been if I hadn't been No S ing. So I guess that's a pretty good success.

The best thing is that I already feel like I am making progress, and several people have asked me if I've lost weight already!!! (Might be the new pair of BIGGER sized jean I had to buy last week- guess they looked pretty good on me even though they're the biggest ones I've ever owned...) LOL!

I'm making the rest of today "N".

Is this week going well for you so far?
