Hi, everyone! I've been away for a few months, and decided to get back on NoS a couple of days ago. Today I had an S-Day (for Thanksgiving). But Tuesday and Wednesday were plan days -- Tuesday went fine but late Wednesday night I had a stray candy bar that I found lurking in the kitchen.
Oh well, onto tomorrow! (Oh, yeah, tomorrow, which starts at about 3am as I get up to stand in line at Wally World to buy a new laptop for a ridiculously low price.) I really need to get to bed.

Friday (after Thanksgiving) was supposed to be a plan day, but it didn't quite happen that way. I figured, hey, it's a four-day holiday weekend, whatever. But Monday was a good plan day -- and every day since. It's Friday night and I've done very good all week. Today in the mail came my cheese cfurds and fudge from Wisconsin, so I get to have some of those tomorrow and Sunday.
Perhaps Monday I'll actually talk myself into starting shovel-glove again.

Well, things have been very very busy, as you can see from my prolific posting history....
With two exceptions, I've been very faithful to the No S Plan.
One was a Thursday (just before Christmas) I took my son out to dinner. He wanted Chinese food, so we went to a local buffet, and I had two plates. I didn't really eat more than normal, but I did split it into two plates, so...FAILURE.
The other was last night. We had pizza, and I took three pieces. Well, when I finished those, I really really wanted more, so I had one more piece. FAILURE.
I have found, though, that my enjoyment of chocolate has all but disappeared. Even on the weekends now, I rarely have lots of chocolate or any sweets. Mainly I just snack throughout the day over the weekends.
I've started yoga (I bought myself a starter kit with DVD, mat, blocks, and strap for Christmas), and I still keep telling myself I *will* start shovelglove again. Oh well.
Anyway, I don't weigh, but I have taken my belt in a notch. I can almost take it in a second notch, but that will be more comfortable in a week or so, I think.

Since my last post, I've done well. Except last night.
There wasn't any obvious reason or trigger for last night, I was just sick and tired of not having things I wanted. (By way of explanation, lately, I've been horrendously busy from Friday through Sunday, so I find myself not having the things I look forward to on the weekends due to time constraints.)
So I had a chocolate shake with dinner AND an apple empanada from Taco Bell.
FAILURE. But balanced by the prior 12 days of SUCCESS, so I don't feel absolutely despondent, just a little disappointed in myself.
