Everyday Systems

I started the 21 day challenge today. Wish me luck. Ill check in tomorrow and tell you how it starts.

Feb 20 2007. Day 1. I am 240 lbs by th way.

Success
Breakfast: Egg and cheese sandwich(3 eggs, 2 honey wheat toast, 2% cheese, and light mayo)
Lunch: My roommate made pancakes and waffles. Had one sensible plate
Dinner: I made a packet of Lipton Rice Sides and it held me till bed.

I ate at 8am 1:30pm and 7pm. I really like the system. It seemed really easy but i think it was the excitment of the first day. Wish me luck today.

Day 2 Success

Breakfast: 2 packets of instant oatmeal made with milk and an apple

Lunch: Lean Pocket, crunchy granola bars and a banana

Dinner: Another Lean Pocket, and a homemade burger(2 slices Honey Wheat toast, Lean Beef Patty, Fat free Mayo, and Ketchup.

I decided that in order to stop any extra eating in the evening, i will simply brush my teeth right after my 7 or 8 oclock meal....that way i dont want to eat.

The first two days have been good......I hope i have more success. Wish me luck today.

Day 3 Success

Breakfast 2 eggs and 2 waffles with syrup(is syrup a sweet?)

Lunch Lipton Rice Side dish Chicken and Brocolli

Dinner 4 chicken wings and gumbo.

There was a little bit of funny stuff. I ate dinner at a college function. They were serving food on the small 3.5 inch plates. I went ahead and had 2 of these and called it one plate. Does this count as seconds?

You're fine on that. A 3.5 inch plate is pretty small, definitely not a full meal.

Welcome to No-S...sounds like you're off to a great start! Be sure you eat enough at each meal to get you to the next meal.

Day 4

Success

Breakfast: Oatmeal and Banana

Lunch: Fish Sandwich and Apple

Dinner: 2 slices of Pizza

Today was a lil bit hard but i made it.....I feel like im on my way to 21. Tomorrow is an S day so im gonna treat myself. I think on my S days i wont Snack or have Seconds but i will have Sweets with a meal. I think ill enjoy it best that way.

Day 5 S Day
Day 6 S Day

To be honest......i went ahead and acted like an idiot.......I think it will actually help in the long run because i dont want to feel like i do after S days. I think i going to go with ONE S per S day. meaning 1 Snack or 1 Sweet or 1 Second.

Day 7
Success

Breakfast: No breakfast....i had to run.
Lunch: Lean Pockets
Dinner: Spaghetti, fish, and chicken.

Day 8
Success

Breakfast: Oatmeal and Banana
Lunch: Spaghetti, Chicken, Fish
Dinner: Lean Burger, apple, 2 carrots

I was tempted for a second to go eat but i made it through the craving. I have got to make it through 21 days. I decided that i am going to save eating waffles for my S-days because i feel like the waffles and syrups are sweets.

You are going great and welcome to No S. Enjoy your S days for a while and just get used to the program. You can shave them down later. I see 21 days in your future.

Thanks for the encouragement Pangelsue

Day 9

Success

Im writing this early because i am confident i wont fail....well im trying to tell myself that im not allowed because i already put it up.

Breakfast: Oatmeal
Lunch: Spaghetti, Chicken, Fish
Dinner: Pasta Side Dish and carrots

I dont think i ate enough breakfast today.....i was hungrier throughout the day. I made it tho and tomorrow will be better

Day 10
Success

Posting success early again for motivation. But i will be sleep in about 3 hours so i should be fine.

Breakfast: Egg and Cheese Sandwich and Carrot(3 eggs, Reduced milk cheese, 2 slices honey wheat bread, and fat free mayo) It was good!!
Lunch: Spaghetti, Chicken, and Fish(I have been having this alot but i just ran out of the Spaghetti and Fish leftover my sister made. What to eat now? I dont know. lol
Dinner: Spaghetti and Fish

I am going to start working on more variety in my meals. Whats funny is that i dont even get hungry between meals anymore but today i was just craving something to chew on....old habits die hard.

Day 11
Success

Breakfast: Oatmeal
Lunch: Drumsticks, Brocolli and cheese. Corn on the cob.
Dinner: Big ol plate of jollof rice, a few carrots, and a tangerine.

I ate lunch at 1:30pm and didnt get home till 8:45pm.......my stomachs hurts because i think i ate my dinner way too fast. lol I felt like snacking through the day, but i chewed on a mouthful of gum. And for dinner i almost had seconds. It is funny how i want to cheat so bad today when tomorrow is an S-day. Well im off to brush my teeth so i dont touch anything else.

So i am going through this S day.......and i find myself running through different foods that i dont even want. i grabbed some pringles ate half them gave the rest away. did the say with some skittles, some snickers, some chex mix, and some doritos. lol. I think i am done and I am back to my senses. Whats crazy is that even with all that i havent blown my caloric goal for an S day......i can still have a small lunch and a good dinner.

Day 12 and 13 S-Day

Day 14 Failure
