My One Year Check-In

xJocelynx87 · Post by **xJocelynx87** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 11:37 pm

I've decided to stick to vanilla No-S for a full year, along with a daily check-in. Due to the fact that I've been on and off this plan since last August and have yet to find anything more enjoyable and sustainable, I know it is worth the investment. I KNOW No-S is the only plan I can stick to for the long-term. I also have decided to stop being obsessed with the scale. I'm going to eat healthily, I'm going to exercise, and by this time next year, I'm GOING to weigh significantly less!

Day 1 - SUCCESS!

- Quaker oatmeal squares
- 2% milk
- Strawberries
- Coffee with 2% milk and a teaspoon of sugar

- Chicken caesar salad

- Peppersteak, peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes
- White rice

Today was a little tough, but not too bad. I had some coffee with milk at work to keep myself from caving, but other than that I did not have much trouble today. I think my mind is finally in the right place, so its making the physical component of No-S much easier. Not that easy though, I'm already thinking about what to eat on my coming S-days!

Day 2 - SUCCESS!

- Whole wheat english muffin spread with peanut butter
- Strawberries
- Coffee w/ 2% milk and a teaspoon of sugar

- Chicken and cheese quesadilla w/ salsa
- Side salad w/ olive oil and balsamic vinegar

- Starbucks grande nonfat latte

- Smoothie made with 2% milk, banana, peanut butter, and ice
- Kashi granola bar

I wish you well and hope you continue the daily check in for a long time!

Day 3 - FAILURE!

- Quakeroatmeal squares

- Coffee w/ 2% milk and teaspoon of sugar

- Mcdonalds iced coffee

Day 4 - FAILURE!

It wasn't too bad though...just a few slips here and there.
I am keeping myself accountable though and keeping this check-in going.
Onward!

Day 5 - FAILURE!

I know WHY it was a failure though....I did not have a substantial breakfast. I know that a filling, enjoyable breakfast is KEY for me in order to have a succcessful N-day. That usually consists of cereal, milk, fruit, and coffee. It keeps me fueled throughout the morning and less likely to snack before lunch.

Aw man, tomorrow is an S-day, and I know I would be enjoying them so much more if I had an all green week! Oh well, 2/5 green days is a start! I'm aiming for progress, not perfection. I know I'll get there next week, as long as I eat substantial meals.

The stress of beginning the fall semester is over, and I'm beginning to find routine again. Time to bring No-S back into my life. Tomorrow....Day 1!
