Tuesday was a SUCESS. I did have an apple after dinner that technically could have fit on my plate. I felt hungry about a half hour after dinner and felt an apple wouldn't be cheating (too much at least).

I walked 45 min on my lunch time and did about 5 min of shovelglove. I am working up to the full 14.

Wensday was a SUCESS. No snacks, no sweets. There was a little verticle stacking of pizza for dinner though :oops:

Thursday was NOT a success. I forgot to eat breakfast because it was so busy at work. Ate lunch and dinner as normal. But couldn't pass up a small slice of pumkin pie that my husband offered me. :oops:

Does your husband know you are trying to keep sweets to S days?
Having your family understand and support your weekday decisions is very important for short and long term success..

I know that when Richard and I get serious, it's just easier all around..
If he breaks a rule, I usually follow immediately behind..
For a while my Mom didn't really respect the NoS rules and there were temptations all over the place.. Now she always asks if it's an S day..
It just makes things nicer! What a help, instead of constant battles...
Ask your hubby for his help and I am sure he will give it to you!

Anyway.. Hope you have a Happy New Year!
Peace and Love,

Hi Deb,

The hubby knows I am going back on noS. I think he forgot that day as I just started. I've asked him to take all the candy and chips that he enjoys to work or at least out of site. I am pretty good about not snacking as long as it's not right in front of me.

Friday was a success.
Sat & Sun were S-days.
Monday was a success

I'm especially proud of monday since I had the day off and I have a tendancy to snack when I am at home by myself.

Tuesday was a Success.

Although I did have a much larger dinner than normal. It did fit on one plate. My breakfast and lunch was pretty skimpy that day which is probably why I was so hungry come dinner. I did turn down the ice cream that my husband offered, and reminded him that I am doing noS and to please not offer treats accept on weekends.

Thursday was NOT a success. I was especially hungry that day for some reason and had larger meals than normal for me. I also ended up nibbling on some chocolate and 2 oreo cookies towards the evening.

Breakfast: Ceral & banana
Lunch: Foot long subway sub and baked chips
Dinner: Hamburger and grilled carrots

Plus a little snacking in the evening ( I had about 4 chocolate pieces and 2 oreos) :/

Sorry I've been away for so long, I fell off the wagon AGAIN! But if at first you don't succeed. Try Try again. :)

Welcome back! Don't be sorry. Be sorry if you fail and then quit. It takes most people a few tries.

Tuesday was a little weird. I wanna say it was not a success but technically I did follow the rules. I had a rushed day and totally spaced lunch. Really bizzarre that my stomach didn't try to kill me. Dinner was at 6ish (salmon mmm!) but later on that evening (around 8:30) I really wanted to eat something else, so I had some leftovers from the night before. I ended up having a meal/snack of thinly sliced grilled steak with a bit of cheese and salsa. I figured that was better than a big bowl of ice cream or something , lol!

So technically, only 3 meals were consumed. Just that 2 of them were eaten fairly close together in the evening.

so... Success?

rules are three meals right? I think that's a success.

Wensday I had a sugar free fudgecicle after dinner. It wasn't really a special day so much so I guess I will not count this day as a success.

I love these little fudgecicles from bluebunny. The serving size says 2 bars (but really I only ever eat 1) and it's only like 45 cal and no sugar (they use splenda).

It really fixs major chocolate cravings I have.

Anyways that was my only variation from the nos plan.

Thursday & Friday Success

Two S days followed however I started getting sick on Saturday.

I'm still sick today (Wensday). I would not count these days as failures but not successes either. I haven't eaten too many meals or sweets. In fact I have hardly eaten at all due to feeling so yucky.
I guess I'll just count them as Sick days.

Wensday was a success even being sick. I got 3 healthy meals in.

Thursday was a success. and I'm feeling a lot better. :)

I've lost a total of 12 lbs so far. I think my next goal is going to be cutting out the diet soda slowly. Must drink more water!

Hi Murphysraven - I've been doing the same thing (cutting down the diet soda). It's gotta be better for us.

Friday was a success

Two S-days followed (I had pizza and a candy bar for my treats on Saturday)

I've lost another pound and a half. Woot!

Monday was not a success.

I had a really bad day at work and bought some dessert at the store on my way to a friends house.

I bought a pack of 3 petite fours (a super mini cake, about a 2"cube) and shared them with two of my friends whom I had dinner with. So basically it was one each.

I have noticed my "splurges" are so much smaller then they used to be. Where I would have a bad day and eat an entire pint of ice cream, now I consider being bad having a piece of cake that fits in the palm of my hand.

Today I had a pastry for breakfast :oops: so I'm thinking this day is not a success.

Wensday & Thursday were a success.

Friday was a S day

The weekend was spent out of town and I ate a little more sugary foods that I should have.

Today I am back on track with the No-S plan!

This week has been mostly a success. Except for thursday, a coworker had a b-day and I had cake.
