Everyday Systems

Day 1: Success
Day 2: Success
Day 3: Success
Today is the first check-in day for me!! Whoo Hoo! Even though I started this diet on Monday, April 21st, I must say Whoo Hoo!! as this has not been that bad! I decided to start "nosing" on Monday, as I also started on a low to no-sodium diet at the discretion of my doctor who has now diagnosed me with high blood pressure!! At any rate, I am really getting into this diet!

I, too, like most of us here, have tried every diet in the world...every diet pill in the world...no wonder I have high blood pressure I never had a weight problem until after having kids. I was always the one being teased for being so skinny when I was a kid! Go figure!!

This week has been a good week for me. I have not been hungry in between my meals at all. I read the book before starting and found that I should put more than enough on my plate to start out so that I can begin to notice the shift in my appetite. It has change quite a bit over the last 4 days!

I do try to make smart choices for my meals...low sodium, less fatty foods, and more water. Water is the hardest part for me. Luckily, I have found the Fruit 2 O to be a great alternative at times...no calories either!!

I will begin checking in at least 4 times a week...I would say everyday, but that may be pushing it a bit .

Good luck and Happy Week to All!

Tonissa,

WELCOME! Sounds like you are doing great. I have just been doing a little over thirty days and I remember between the first and second week I also had a big shift in my appetite ... down ...kind of amazing huh?

Day 4: Success
Day 4 was very successful for me. I have found a really good cereal for breakfast: Berry Burst Cherrios! It is whole grain, with real strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. This is a good way for me to get my fruit and whole grains in early in the day. I have begun making my own ceasar salads for lunch. Yum, yum!!

With this diet, I have noticed that I am spending LESS money on food. Eating out had become expensive, not to mention the other bad benefits. But, I think this is starting to sink in with my kids as well. They are eating a lot less junk food and fast food.

The S days are coming up and I'm anxious to see who those days come along. I will keep everyone informed.

Be Blessed!!

Day 5: Success

Day 5 was another successful day! I had Wendy's for lunch, but had healthy things: mandarin oranges and a plain baked potato. Dinner was also healthy - veggies and grilled shrimp!

Today is my first "S" day! I am anxious to see how I feel about actually getting to snack ahd have sweets. To be honest, I haven't really thought about gorging on anything in particular, which is quite the opposite of me two weeks ago!

Day 6: Success
Day 7: Success

Both S days were a success for me. I only had 1 snack the whole weekend...low sodium tortilla chips and salsa on Saturday. I didn't feel the urge to eat more...just because it was there. I am off to another successful week!!

Be Blessed
