Ok so, tonight I had a very intense kickboxing class, and did not have time to eat dinner before it, so I decided to have a small meal before the class, and a small dinner after it for a total of 4 meals. I made a conscious decision to do this, and decided afterward that it didn't feel right. I am still considering today a success, because I did not violate any rules, but now I know that the traditional 3 meals is what feels right to me, so that is what I will continue to do. That being said...

Day 31 - SUCCESS!

Breakfast - Whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter and strawberry preserves, banana, glass of 2% milk, coffee with half & half and sugar

Lunch - Piece of leftover vegetable calzone

Pre-Workout Meal - Vanilla yogurt, kashi cereal bar

Dinner - Bowl of steak, peppers, mushrooms, onions, and rice in tomato sauce

Furthermore, today officially marks the end of my first month since re-starting the No S Diet, and I am happy report that I have had NO red days!

One Month Weigh-In - 163.8lbs

You are doing great, your meals all sound so yummy and so healthy. I used to own a daycare center and PB and J on whole wheat was one of the recommended sandwiches that the nutritionist loved me to serve....

Stay the course...

37 days in a row! From your first try! You're a machine!!

Seriously, you're pretty much my inspiration right now. I really wanted a snack (Dinner isn't for at least another 2 hours, and lunch is wearing off), but now I'll hold on for a while longer, just so I don't "break the chain". (PS - thanks for that Seinfeld link, it was awesome)

***2 MONTH WEIGHT UPDATE!!!***

After starting the No-S diet yet again on May 11th, I've had nearly perfect compliance and exercised for an average of 3x / week. My two month results are:

Starting weight: ~168lbs
Today's weight: 160.2lbs
Total loss: 7.8lbs
Goal weight: 150lbs

Things are going well for me!

I'm thinking of increasing my exercise by either working out longer 3x/week, or trying to do it more frequently and up it to 5x/week. Something tells me that may be pushing it though, because I rarely have the time or desire to exercise that much...but we'll see!

Very solid progress. Look at all those SUCCESS days. Two thumbs up!

xJocelynx87 · Post by **xJocelynx87** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 10:13 pm

Day 64 - SUCCESS!

Breakfast - Balance bar, banana, skim latte

Lunch - Salad with calamari and feta cheese

Dinner - Baked chicken parmesan, rigatoni with tomato sauce, salad with balsamic dressing

Today was another one of those interesting days where I ended up eating four meals. I ate half my salad during lunch, and then a few hours later I realized that I was hungry and probably hadn't eaten enough, so I ate the other half. I didn't break any rules, so today is still a success, but I'm really going to try not to do this again. I probably should've picked a higher quality protein with my salad than breaded, fried, calamari...but it's sooo delicious! Live and learn!

xJocelynx87 · Post by **xJocelynx87** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 12:42 am

For some reason, I've been second guessing No-S recently. Because of this, I decided to use the last two days to experiment a little bit. This meant not overeating, but having a snack if I felt it was necessary or a small sweet treat after dinner if I wanted. I was very scared to do this, but figured that if it cemented the idea of No-S in my brain, then it would be worth it and I could just consider these days my two NWS days for the month. Both days have pretty much N-days, aside from a tiny amount of icecream one day and a granola bar in the afternoon on another. Just like Reinhard says, I had NO idea how many calories I was eating, which felt sorta weird, snacking made me MORE HUNGRY, as weird as that sounds, and everything in general felt off balance. Needless to say, I'll be resuming No-S tomorrow, with no more second guessing. This is it for me!

Days 65 & 66 - NWS Days

Bushranger · Post by **Bushranger** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 1:57 am

Very interesting post there. It's great that you were able to realise those issues with snacking. I have found the snacking issue to be exactly the same as you described. Eating one snack makes it so much easier to eat the second and so on. It's a vicious cycle. Well done for spotting it and taking action.
