DAILY CHRONICLE'S
I wanted to start a daily check in to keep accountable and for the history of it that I can go back to.
Also I of course want input from all you guys in this community.
This morning I decided to sleep a little bit longer and eat breakfast in the car on my way to work. I have a 20 minute drive in good weather. I had a package of 2 granola bars and a handful of salted almonds + a cheese stick for a little more protein. I am juvenile diabetic so try to be sure I get protein at every meal, it really makes a difference for me. I am one that enjoys eating breakfast in the car. I take a route to work that I call the backroads of Moracco LOL. So I can enjoy every bite and listen to music and enjoy the trees etc.
Lunch today was a slice of home-made french bread with mayo, provolone cheese, and some hard salami on it (open face) + about 10 corn chips.
Afternoon about 4:30 I had one of my shot's of orange juice because my blood sugar was tooooo low. I always use juice for this and don't eat food to bring it up between meals.
Dinner tonight was home-made manicotti, half a home-made breadstick with a little bit of butter, some green beans and a little bit of my b-day cake 4 bites. YUMMMM
I do break my sweets up into little bites once a day after lunch or dinner and maintain 3 meals a day with no snacks, or seconds 7 days a week. If I have a day or two where I snack or eat more than a few bites of a sweet I just cut lose and go hog wild and have huge trouble getting back on track. SO, I like to keep it consistent 24-7.
I stay pretty darn busy at work I am a paralegal and it's a busy firm. I am finding that I am not even thinking of food 1/2 as much as I used to. I don't miss the snacks and am enjoying having a little bit of acid being produced in my stomach by time for a meal, the food taste soooo much better.

Today I ate breakfast on the way to work again. Granola bars and a handful of salted almonda & a cheesestick. YUM
Lunch was a sandwich on french bread (small peices) with mayo, provolone cheese and hard salami. Also the big dip corn chips about 10 & a small pecan shortbread cookie. YUMMMY
Just finished dinner it was a small peice of salisbury steak, a few steak fries and some mixed vegetables. Real good.
It's been a good day food wise. I am totally not pre-occupied with food. This is day six and I couldn't be happier about this whole plan.

Today was portable breakfast on the move!! LOL I like that. Nature Valley granola bars, handful of salted almonds. I actually have the bars and a big bag of nuts in my car so I don't even have to get it out the night before
Lunch was a sandwich again still on the provolone cheese and hard salami with mayo and corn chips! Good and I like it too.
Tonight was pizza, I had 3 small squares of it and two little bite size oatmeal cookies and my little glass of wine. Really enjoyed every bite.
I feel soooo set free already from the grip of food/eating. It's been just awesome.

This a.m. breakfast came late since it's big Saturday. Had a bagel with peanutbutter and blueberry jam + 3 strips of baccon. YUM YUM
Lunch was my now infamous tuna cole slaw with crackers. Love it with plenty of mayo
Dinner was a grilled chicken burger on bread with mayo some pork skins grapes & melon and two bite size oatmeal rasin cookies. Had my little glass of wine too.
I was buying a few things at Foods For Living yesterday after work and it crossed my mind how great a feeling it is to once again be able to buy a box of cookies and know they'll last 2 weeks. How great it is again to be able to buy a bag of six bagels and know they'll last six days. How good it is to be able to have food in the cupboards, fridge and on the shelf and know if it says there is 6 servings it'll probably last six days.

I am still here stilll doing NO S!!! I had a few days off the net because the power company accidently cut the fiber optic line that goes to our house when they were fixing a blown out transformer. I was reading on the cell phone but not so good at posting from that.
Today breakfast was 2 Nature Valley Granola Bars and some grapes, salted almonds and I ate it on the way to work.
Lunch was tuna salad sandwich on french bread and lays pickle chips.
Dinner was an Italian sausage, rice noodles and broccli and 2 bites of brownie. YUM YUM
I am really getting settled into this routine and loving it! Not counting carbs, calories, fat grams, or protein grams is such a relief

Hi 307 and welcome to No S. It sounds like you are doing really great so far and enjoying it too. You are really off to a great start. I think this diet will be good for your diabetes too. I may steal your idea of a bite of sweet every day 7 days a week. Not strictly No S but will probably help with the binging on weekends. Keep up the good work.
I'm baaaack.

This worked great for the juvenile diabetes when I did it for a few years before. My blood sugars became very stabelized.Pangelsue2 wrote:Hi 307 and welcome to No S.

I do better just keeping to the 3 meals a day every day and breaking the bites of sweets up thru the week as well. One of the biggest reasons this mod really works so well for me is the Juvenile Diabetes. Eating larger volumes of especially carbohydrates on weekend days really upsets the apple cart on my blood sugar. Keeping consistent on meals, amounts and carbs is really key to my success.

I tried for a while eating just a small dessert every night but then I felt guilty because it wasn't vanilla No S. I must say it did work well for me. I wasn't feeling so deprived all week and using the weekend to satisfy ever craving I fought off all week long. Best of luck to both of us with this idea.

This a.m. on the way to work I had a bagel & 3 strips of baccon & a few grapes + handful of salted almonds. YUM Enjoyed the ride on the back roads and the trees and the CD I was listening to.
Lunch today was a salami and cheese on rice bread with may & big dip corn chips.
Dinner tonight was GREAT, a chicken wrap with peppers and onions + some rice and cheese and a couple bites of brownie.
This has been a very good day with food. I completely forgot about food and eating almost all afternoon and that's huge for me.
I am getting a better idea of how much to eat to keep me going to the next meal and have some hunger starting up about an hour before I eat.

Welcome to No S, I am also pretty new, just completed 26 days. You have an interesting variation, I would need the S days. Are you planning to have S days ever? You seem to be doing well. Keep it up!

Actually no I am not planning on that ever. That would make my blood sugar unstable and I'd have peaks and valleys and need more insulin and yadda, yadddaSweetness wrote:Welcome to No S, I am also pretty new, just completed 26 days.

Before NO S was ever offically created I had done the 3-0-7 for several years and had fantastic success. The juvenile diabetes was very stable durng that time also.

Yesterday was a bagel, grapes, almonds, 3 strips of baccon for breakfast.
Lunch was a salami and cheese sandwich with mayo and corn chips.
Dinner we had home made pizza I had two squares and four bites of brownie YUM YUM
Yesterday I hada lotof what I call head hunger thinking between breakfast and lunch. After lunch it was gone. I know that undereating at a meal is the chief contributor to this state of mind. However I didn't feel as if I'd undereaten at breakfast at all. I stayed strong thru it and worked and made it to til lunch

Re: Sept 16th
good for you! It does look like you had enough for breakfast. When that happens to me it can be hormones or stress as well.3-0-7 girl wrote:Yesterday was a bagel, grapes, almonds, 3 strips of baccon for breakfast.

Today was breakfast being a bagel, with peanut butter, butter, and blueberry jam. YUM
Lunch was oatmeal, almonds and a shake made with vanilla protein powder yum yum, like those but don't have them often.
Dinner was BBQ chicken, french fried potatoes, salad with Vadilla dressing and some crackers and 2 bite size otameal cookies
Watched a movie on Showtime today and plan to watch TV tonight. Never been one that felt like I needed to eat while watching TV so that's not a problem.
Feels just great to be free of diets/healthy eating rules/and binges.

We've had the DSL/internet guys back out here working on the lines (outside the house) so that's kept me from posting a day
SO I AM BACK FOR THE ATTACK
Breakfast: Granola bars, salted almonds, grapes YUMMEEEEEE
Lunch: Cheese sandwhich, big dip corn chips, leftover cole slaw and a diet coke
Dinner: Chicken fried rice, salad with Vadilla Dressing and 3 bites of choco chip cookie REAL GOOD
I love this. I just had to weigh and see how I am doing even though it's not been even a full 21 days yet. LOST SIX POUNDS wooo whooo
Yes it will likely slow to 2-4 lbs a month after the first month but this is still a real positive motivator
It was a fact for a number of years and still is today when I eat 3 meals a day nothing in between and keep sweets to meals and small I lose weight. I don't have to weigh and measure the food, don't have to eat low fat, high fat, low carb, high carb, vegan, or paleolithic. It just works.

Hi, just wanted to tell you that you're doing great!!! And I love reading your daily check-in because you're so positive.
Also, I do the exact same thing you do; 3 meals a day, 7 days a week. A few bites of something sweet after dinner. I enjoy having a small treat every day. And I enjoy not snacking and not taking seconds, so I continue doing that on weekends, too.
Must confess, though, that sometimes it's a little hard for me to stop after only 1 or 2 small cookies. This doesn't seem to be a problem for you. How do you stop yourself going back for more cookies?
Best of luck to you.

If I break pace and start to snack on the weekends it could take me days to get back on track + it would upset the apple cart on the JD blood sugar readings. Far better for me to stick to the 3 meals a day no snacks 7 days a week!
I always want more cookie. My secret is and has been my whole life that if I wait just few minutes sometimes as little as 10, the desire goes a way and I don't want more cookie. Sounds too easy but it really works

Sept 25th
Breakfast today b4 I went to Mass was a Protein Smootie and 3 strips of baccon and it was very good
Lunch A spinach & feta cheese chicken pattie on bread and some new veggie chips I got at SAMs Club this weekend and a salad with cheese and baccon bits on it with my favorite Vadillia Onion dressing, a bite size snicker doodle cookie TASTEY
Dinner: Little bigger tonight 3 pieces of pizza, a black cherry jello square and 3-4 bites of brownie. IT WAS AWESOME too.
Been thinking about exercise. Thinking is as far as I have gotten LOL. Part of me ask the question how many naturally thin people that eat regular foods do I know that work out to keep their weight down? Few is the answer. Part of me says moderate exercise is good for the health and makes you feel better don't do it to lose weight. Then I get on the Yoga thing. I love Yoga, like doing it. Have a ton of tapes and CD's I can do. SO, do what you love, right? Ah, we'll see

Re: Sept 25th
I just started doing yoga, alternating with pilates, two weeks ago. LOVE IT. It's been a LONG time since I've exercised, so I'm finding it to be a gentler way to ease back into it. And you know what? I feel SO much better when I do it. Monday through Friday.....I make time for it during the day, just as I would any other task that HAS to be done....no excuses. However, now I actually look forward to it every day......it feels like a treat. Imagine that!?!?!3-0-7 girl wrote:Part of me says moderate exercise is good for the health and makes you feel better don't do it to lose weight. Then I get on the Yoga thing.

exercise
Hello!!! I am still thinking about exercise. I am considering Yoga & Weights. I have everything anyone could need to get going on both too. Different size weights, barbell, leg weights that can be adjusted to any amount, bench, books, videos and a vcr that still works a yoga matt, strap, props the works!!! SO, needing to get equipment is not stopping me LOL.
I have considered doing Upper Body one day and Lower Body the next day and some Yoga daily. Start with like 20 minutes weights and 10 Yoga.
What I have to do now is stop just planning, thinking and reading about it and DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Be back later on to post my food for the day.

I'm glad I found your check-in thread. I think I need some version of 3-0-7. I've gotten so used to not having sweets during the week that I don't want to go back, but I understand your reasons for having a very moderate amount every day. I hope the reason you haven't been around for awhile is that things are so darn easy!

Decided to post my daily meals again (for a few days at least LOL)
breakfast
Nature Valley Granola Bar
5 True North bites
lunch
Swiss & Corn Beef Sandwich
Corn Chips
Chocolate Mini cookies 2
dinner
Mac and Cheese Caserole
Salad
Hanukkah leftover Fruit and Nut bar
I had thoughts today about eating 3 meals and nothing else being stupid. I eat too much at the meals. I should eat 6 small meals.
Then it came to me, that all that would happen is I'd be eating the same 3 meals PLUS adding more fat/calories/carbs/protein/salt/sugar to my daily intake. In no way would I be improving the situation. I would be thinking about food more, eating more, talking about eating more, shopping for more food, and my blood sugar would just go up and I'd need more insulin!!!
NO THANKS, don't want all that!!!

breakfast Nature Valley Granola Bar/5 bites True North dixie cup OJ
lunch Big Scoop Corn Chips & humus dip & 2 cheesesticks chocolate cookie bites
dinner Salmon/mixed salad/bread/fruit bar left from Hanukkah
This afternoon I was tired, had enuff of the project I was working on, and thought once again that I need to be eating smaller more frequent meals to break things up.
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This will not work for me. I'll just wind up eating MORE.
Also was thinking about the fact that in my ongoing project of interviewing/observing/hanging out with naturally thin people and seeing how they eat, they go long periods of time without eating. Example: There is one in the office right kitty corner to mine and I can see him all day. He eats a granola bar in the morning and doesn't touch food again until around 1:30 or later when he eats lunch. I know his wife is a nurse and gets home late and they don't eat dinner until around 8-9 at night too. He never ever eats anything between the meals, unless it's a time where we' have gone out after work or a ballgame at someone's house or to shoot pool and he'll have a handful of popcorn or pretzels. Very very little.
