Well today was my first day on the No S diet. It's been pretty simple because I have been dorking around with a variety of failure guaranteed diets, such as the Zone and Paleo so I was stoked to not be measuring anything or eating like a rabbit. Those diets help me realize I don't have to eat simple carbs at every meal, but I did not like feeling like I was restricting myself from foods I really enjoy. I have not had dinner yet, and I think I will try to eat earlier in the future, but it is hard since my partner does not get home until 8:30 and we really like to eat meals together. hmmm I will consider that in the future depending on whether I turn into a giant grump waiting for dinner.
Starting Date: 1/26/09
Starting weight 143
Breakfast: scrambled eggs, grapefruit, coffee (not enough)
Lunch: BLA w/ chips (maybe a salad instead of chips in the future, but this was not an option at the lunch place)
Dinner: Morracan beans, and orange glazed tempeh, glass of white wine.
Molly's daily checkin
Counting carbs/calories is a drag. Obsessive scale stepping is a recipe for despair. If you want to count something, "days on habit" is a much better metric. Checking off days on a calendar would do just fine, but if you do it here you get accountability and support. Here's how. Start a new topic in this forum called (say) "Your Name Daily Check In." Then every N day post a "reply" to that topic as to whether you stayed on habit. A simple "<font color="green">SUCCESS</font>" or "<font color="red">FAILURE</font>" (or your preferred euphemism if that's too harsh) is sufficient, but obviously you're welcome to write more if you want. On S-days just register that you're taking an S-day. You don't have to do this forever, just until you're confident you've built the habit. Feel free to check in weekly or monthly or sporadically instead of daily. Feel free also to track other habits besides No-s (I'm keeping this forum under No-s because that's what the vast majority are using it for). See also my <a href="/habitcal/">HabitCal</a> tool for another more formal (and perhaps complementary) way to track habits.
