Breakfast: oatmeal, banana, whey protein; tea
Lunch: egg salad on rice cake; sweet potato; yogurt w/blueberries & peanuts
Afternoon: milk; grape juice
Dinner: chicken breast in tomato sauce w/carrot & potato; broccoli; avocado half; pear

Hi Minimizer,
Whatever your weigh-check reveals, I hope your great attitude and habit-forming on NoS stays strong!
Have a great weekend!

Thanks, auto! You too!
Here's how my weight played out in February, my first full month of
ever sticking with No S.
Starting weight on Monday, Feb 3 was 135.2#
Weight this morning, Saturday, March 1 was 133.4#
(Loss of 1.8# in four weeks' time.)
So my starting weight was right after a weekend and
today's weight was after five straight N Days...
March will be a more accurate reflection I think.
But I'll take these results as an encouragement.
I am not very tall and I am not very young.
BMI on Feb 3 was 24.7
BMI this morning is 24.4
So I am not technically in the overweight category, but I am
at the top end of the 'acceptable' weight range for my height.
I love the routine, the habits, the moderation of No S.
It helps me to feel sane, and like I have control over my
eating habits--but not a neurotic-type control as I followed
WW on-and-off the past two years. Yes, I did lose weight
that way, but I always gain it back and WW is just not
sustainable and not enjoyable. I cannot go back there.
Whether I lose any more weight or whether I don't, I fully
plan to stick with these No S habits--and I'll enjoy it!

Tuesday (Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, etc)
I don't observe this as a special day. Dinner will be late since we're having
guests tonight. I ate a later-than-usual lunch. Trying very hard to keep
my 'no wine' going (18th day!) so we'll see how that goes.
So far today though, it's N for the win!

Loved your post about being happy with your weight even if you don't lose more. We, I think, are exactly the same height and weight today. And I agree. I know that I could lose more fat off my body and look more "svelte", but I feel really healthy and strong. That has to count for something, right?
So go minimizer!

Yes, auto, I am 5'2". And you're right, I agree!
Well I had failure yesterday, I had a good day
until dinner. We had guests (relatives) for dinner
and they stayed overnight. I had seconds at dinner,
wine with dinner, a small dessert, and a snack at
night. The good news is that I have had a successful
N day today.

Hi minimizer,
I recommend REALLY piling up your plate so that you know you've eaten plenty and aren't (as) tempted by seconds!
Hope the rest of your week goes great!

When I messed up earlier this week (Monday & Tuesday), we had visitors both times. Lost my focus I guess.
I have been really working on chewing my food well to help my digestion.
Seems to help a lot--I had been having indigestion issues and that is improving. More on that later.
Tonight's menu is a turkey patty cooked with cabbage, salad, and sweet potato.

April 1, Tuesday: My weight is 131.4#
That's a two-pound loss since March 1st.
BMI now stands at 24.0
I am averaging nearly 1/2 loss per week.
Slow but steady so far.
I had four Red (failure) days during the
month of March.
The monthly challenges are helping so much.
My hubs is also No S-ing and that helps too.
Drinking lots of water between meals & having
fewer headaches--I gotta love that!

I'm having a pretty good month so far. Along with No S eating,
I have also challenged myself to walking for a minimum of 30
minutes each day. My goal would be an hour but that's not
really possible right now--hopefully soon though.
Yesterday I had a terrible headache, but I still made myself
get out and walk for 40 minutes just before dark.
Still have that headache today, darn it!

Hi auto!
Well I had a failure on Monday this week. We had visitors from out of town and my pattern now seems to be that having company disrupts my schedule so much that I find myself eating at irregular times--also having snacks to prevent headaches. And it doesn't help that these guests are real 'foodies'!
OK, back on track yesterday and doing OK so far today.

Haven't posted in awhile. Out of town for a couple weeks, and then I've been sick with a virus. Feeling better but I'm also having GERD issues going on, and have been for some time. Trying to figure out what to do about that. It is keeping me from eating three full meals each day for the time being.
My indigestion issues have improved. I believe that ibuprofen is the worst thing that I can do to aggravate it, so I will avoid it like the plague. Doing well today, except that with breakfast I ate some Hershey's Kisses that were a gift. I got rid of the rest of them so they are not tempting me now--I cannot keep such things in the house! Planning to eat according to No S principles for the rest of the day. Taking it day-by-day to get back on track.

Hi there!
Good luck with the GERD. Seems there are several people on the boards that have struggled with that.
And sorry you were sick. That seems common right now, too. Summer is right around the corner!

Last week I did pretty well, but not perfect.
Starting off this week with Monday and Tuesday
being successes, plus today so far as well.
I have started using a different scale to weigh
myself. The old one needs a new battery--going
back to an old scale that doesn't need batteries.
Weighing 132-133 this week on that scale.

Well, Gingerpie, I did well during early December, and the end of the month I was pleased with.
The rest of the month was quite the disaster.
However, today brings a brand-new, blank canvas.
Today is off to a good start!
I like to see New Years Eve as a holiday (S Day);
and I feel that, for me, January 1st (this year a weekday)
is appropriately observed as an N Day. That will help me
to get off to a very good start this year and besides, Saturday
is almost here!
Happy New Year!

I've been on again, off again all year so far. I'm disappointed with myself that I haven't stuck with this like I had planned. However, today has been good so far. I'll take this one day at a time.
So far today:
Breakfast--oatmeal w/whey protein, coconut oil, sliced banana; 2 cups of tea
Lunch: hummus on Ezekiel toast, Greek yogurt with almonds
I expect to return tonight with my dinner menu to report.

I haven't been having as many headaches, but that's probably because I'm eating more often
Headaches are from low-blood sugar and more unavoidable stress, I think.
I just get headaches easily, too. Advil doesn't help.
I'm going to try tomorrow to see how it goes.
Purple cows between meals for now, it would probably help

Mostly back on track today. One fail was that I had two squares of dark chocolate between breakfast and lunch. Which of course means fail for the day....but I am not letting that mess up the rest of the day.
I didn't sleep much at all last night (I often have insomnia) and I have sworn off coffee and tea since caffeine does not agree with me. Hubs always keeps dark chocolate in the house though and I resorted to having some to get myself conscious this morning. So anyway, hoping to sleep tonight and have an "N Day" tomorrow.

I have been stress eating just about every day.
My weight is close to 140, and has even been above
140 at times this summer.
This morning I weighed in at 138.
(I am not tall.)
I *should* weigh about 120 or less.
I am not happy to accept being heavy and I
won't--it depresses me. My clothes don't fit
and I don't have much energy.
I believe I'll try to stick with No S tomorrow--
a Friday. A very stressful weekend coming up.
Then I will see if I can do it again on Monday.
More later...
