NoS-April 7
Morning weight-250.8
Breakfast: Yep, oatmeal.
Lunch: 1 slice leftover meatloaf (even better today), mashed potatoes/cauliflower, apple. I also brought an orange, but I wasn't hungry for it.
Dinner: Grandfather soup, 3 slices of bread with olive oil, and milk.
At our small group last night, my good friend Gen made her "famous dump cake--with coconut" I assumed this would really put my resolve to the test, but I managed it nicely.

NoS-4/6
Monday is a NoS day. 3 meals--that's it.
Breakfast: Oatmeal, as always, my comfortable friend.
Lunch: Leftovers, which I ate joyfully, not bregrudgingly. A pork chop, an orange, and some mashed potatoes. I had to put some potatoes back because there were too many to fit on the plate--I guess that is the way of things. Alas, I am satisfied.
Dinner: 2 slices meatloaf, mashed potatoes, 1 glass skim milk. My lovely wife did up the meatloaf and the potatoes with the deceptively delicious way!

NoS-4/5
I thought it might be interesting to document what I eat on NoS and report the results after a week. So here was Sunday the 5th.
AM weight: 252.6
Breakfast: 8x8 waffle with butter, brown sugar, and coconut.
Lunch: Large Pesto Cavatappi with parmesan chicken from Noodles & Co. After 2 kids didn't get what they wanted at Cold Stone Creamery, I also ended up with a kids size vanilla with chocolate chips--not what I would have ordered.
Dinner: Grilled lean pork chop, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a glass of milk.
*Meal 4: About 8:30, I had a couple of slices of leftover homemade pizza. Pretty good.
You can see, I still made some better choices, but was not completely restrictive in my eating on this S-day.

The NoSdiet
A friend of mine at church told me was starting this No S diet. I had never heard of it, so I asked him to tell me about it. He told me that it was no seconds or sweets except on Saturdays and Sundays. That's partially true. According to the website, the diet can be summarized in these 14 words:
No Sweets.
No Snacks.
No Seconds.
Except (sometimes) on days that start with S.
S days are Saturdays, Sundays and Special occasions.
This has also been called the "grandma diet" because it is how grandma ate and is much more intuitive than many weight loss plans. I am going to apply the principles learned in Weight Watchers and with Making the Better Choice to this. Let's see how she goes!
*Interestingly, see my 11/13/08 post, which I wrote before ever hearing of NoS.
