Big congrats on fitting into your old jeans - that's great!
I can only hope that one day No S will be as 'leisurely' for me as it seems to be for you. Monday to Thursdays are generally routine and fine but I start struggling Friday evenings and on my S days. Although the weekends are getting less frantic and more controlled. So hoping to follow your lead

sleepgirlzzzz, I suspect the longer you maintain your balance and consistency during the week, the easier the weekends will eventually become. You'll eventually find that 5 days of normal/healthy eating makes your body realize that on the 2 other days it just doesn't feel good to eat weird anymore, your system crashes and can literally make you feel ill.
It just takes time, which (hopefully!) we all have plenty left of. I suspect patience and consistency over time will do it!

milczar, I can truly only dream of living in a warm place such as California!milczar wrote:Wow! I can't believe those crazy cold temperatures!
You do get used to the cold. (It's a 'dry' cold! ) The other morning it was -21C and to me, it was "warm", because the sun is shining, the sky is blue and there is no wind. So I walked the dogs in my "spring" jacket - an unlined cotton Woolrich special! And I was totally warm & comfortable.
I'm starting to think "temperature", like "fat", is an attitude you can adopt or dismiss at your convenience!!

SUNDAY MAY 12 - MOTHER'S DAY IN CANADA
Happy Mother's Day to all the fabulous mom's out there!! Including my own dear sweet mom who has been gone many years now.
I'm taking a break from posting, but not from No"S" or my workouts.
I'll check back from time to time to say "hi" and see how everyone is doing.
Keep the faith! No "S" really is the answer. Now what was the question??!!
Thanks for all your kindness, support, humour & encouragement. It sure does help.

Checking in after a 10 month hiatus & to catch up with some familiar names and their stories.
I relocated down to southern Canada (prairies) from the High Arctic and am reacquainting myself with all of my family, friends, and all the amenities readily available outside of the Arctic.
That being said, we've had the coldest winter here with record breaking snowfalls and weeks and weeks of -30C. Go figger ........
My kindest wishes to Strawberry Roan and her dear cowboy - hoping that happy trails are soon here again. MJ, I am catching up on your thread as well. And, of course, Patty's (aka Sweetness). And Jonas too.
This thread and the people on it are always a joy!

Welcome back and greetings from sunny Cuernavaca!!! I'm sure the prairies of southern Canada have not been any better than Minnesota. All my Twin Cities friends have been complaining and suffering with the long, cold, snowy winter. We were there for one month of it, Dec. 18 to January 21 and it was colder than normal, but a month I can handle! I'm glad you can be a bit closer to civilization although I did enjoy vicariously experiencing your life way up there. Is this a permanant move?

Mmmm, your hamburger soup sounds fantastic. As we are heading into winter here in South Africa, I will have to give it a go!!
