re-lose 20 pounds. (read all 12 entries…)
It works.

That is, the No-S rules are clear and simple, and I find that I can actually follow them. And I’ve lost a couple of pounds as a result. This weekend I am swapping Sunday night for Friday night: friends are visiting and there is a chance of overindulgence in alcohol, but I can be back to normal by Sunday dinnertime.

In related news, I went off coffee a couple weeks ago in preparation for a weekend workshop that more or less banned caffeine, and I noticed leg and back pain creeping up on me when I cut out caffeine completely. This morning, I had my regular old cuppa, which is pretty strong, and no pain today. Coincidence? Possibly. I’ll have to play around with it further to see.

follow the No-S diet

I won’t link to it – you can Google it – but it’s pretty simple: no snacks, sweets, or seconds, except Saturdays and Sundays (and special days).

I’ll try and check in here every week with progress (behavioral if not pounds lost).

Another insight I’ve had, that I have to keep remembering, is that I do have control over what I put in my mouth.



practice 'Happiness Manifesto' periodically (read all 508 entries…)
December 31, 2011 grateful for
  • not having pressure to go out/drink/overeat on New Years’ Eve, as I really just want to sit on the couch and watch a DVD or two
  • happy, snuggly cat coming in and out
  • the usual mix of opportunity and lack of structure
  • good books to read
  • Mr Cloudberry to look after me as I get over my cold
