Day 1 = SUCCESS! Yea! Hey guys yesterday was my official first day of following the program. I must say that i was so happy. I ate such delicious food for breakfast i had oatmeal with slivered almonds and milk, for lunch i had a sandwich of whole wheat bread with turkey and havarti cheese, pretzels and a green apple and for dinner i made the most delicious soup it had potato, diced ham, kale , carrots and onion i also had a piece of sourdough bread with butter,salad and a glass of milk. I was so satisfied that i did not feel the need to snack or munch all day long. Just knowing that i can have what i want makes me not want to binge. That is huge for me. I also had so much fun making my homemade soup. What i realized is that i love to cook but when i was following other strict diets i lost my joy for it. I felt so limited. I never want to do that again. Well guys i will put another entry in later for today.

Day 2= success! I felt so at peace today and i was actually able to get so much more done today because i was not constantly obsessing about food and what should i have calorie wise for my next meal that would fit my day. With No s i do not have to stress about that nonsense. I ate healthy and i felt extremely relaxed.

Breakfast- bowl of cereal, milk and half a banana.

Lunch- bowl of homemade soup left over from last night, piece of sourdough bread with butter and apple juice.

Dinner- manicotti (homemade might i add) I love to cook!

green beans, apple and a piece of sourdough bread with butter.

I so hear you on the loving to cook, but having it squashed by prior diets. I like to bake more now (on S-days!). Oddly, the more I plan good meals on N-days the better I do - it's like I'm allowed to enjoy food again!

Good luck on your next week!

Day 4 S day.

I so hear you KCCC i enjoy planning and preparing meals so much more than i used to. I really had lost my joy for cooking due to calories, measuring, points etc. It had become more of a hassel and stress. Now i am getting excited and looking through my old cookbooks to see what i can make for my family next. I love no s. I hope you have a great day.
