This March I challenge you to do better this month than last month
For some of you it may be quite tough because you did very well last month. For some of us it won't take much. For others it might be the boost they need to get going once and for all.
This is for anybody who needs encouragement and daily accountability. We will all keep tabs on each other. Think of this as your own little cheering section.
- Write down what would be your "better" at the top of your post and then update us as to how you're doing. It's O.K. to not post daily, but try to keep us updated. Accountability helps!
- *Remember* to only post once at the top and edit that first post all month. It's easier to skim-read and find each other.
- Please re-read that last one, some people don't get it.
- after March 3rd we will continue posting at the bottom for encouragement and fun.
- This challenge is meant for all of us to give support, so let's try hard to do that.
- good luck and have fun with it! March is the lucky St. Patrick's Day month and the green decorations month. It has to be a good sign, right? Let's color it all green!

I'm in, and I'm going green!
My birthday is St. Patrick's Day, so all of my birthdays have been celebrated with everything from green cake to green beer. Everyone around me wears green on this day (or I pinch them) and it is know for it's irish luck. Everywhere I go I see shamrocks and green decorations. I am not Irish... I'm German... but I think since I was born on this day I am priveleged to claim it. The green-ness of the holiday will fill the month with green-ness on on calendars. Green for successful noS days. I spread my green luck around to you all!
(O.K... I know that was korny, but I felt inspired )
Last month I started to record on the 3rd and I then had 5 fails. That leaves me with 7 fails. I better be able to do better than that! Good thing February was short!

I'm in...for the first time. I'm feeling very nervous because I have major issues with accountability. Goodbye 'need to fail privately'!
My 'better' thing is to practice using ways to deal with stress that don't involve food. Also to only have the coffees, not coffees and cakes, when my mum visits next week.

Nothing is impossible-only improbable.
I'm in too. With at least 15 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week. I'm striving for N day exercise, but I'll let a week be green if I sub in the exercise for 1 or 2 N days on Saturday and Sunday because time is often a limiting factor in me getting exercise.
No substitutions in diet, though. Time is no excuse. Vanilla NoS for March!
Oh, and since it is hard to read yellow, orange = yellow

I'm in! My "better" for March will be- zero RED days. I made it through February green for NoS but had 2 failures on my running plan.
I think this is a good - moderate - goal for me. I thought about requiring myself to do the running plan 3 days/week and a workout video every other day... too much- I would fail and get frustrated.
March (Success is indicative of NO failure- neither running NOR NoS.)
1 Success
2 Success
3 Success
4 Success
5 *Success (S Day for NoS)
6 *Success (S Day)
7 Success
8 Success
9 Success
10 Success
11 FAILURE running fail. I should know better than to plan to run before work.
12 S Day
13 S Day
14 Success
So. I've kind of given up on my running- due to injury/lack of motivation/scheduling... not any legitimate reasons. I might finish the program- I have 4 days left, or I might not. I just need to figure out something that will work for me, for exercising. I want to be a runner, but I hate running. I was hoping I would learn to like it. I'm hoping to start walking during my lunch hour so that will be a start.

Habits are at first cobwebs, then cables.
I'm in too! I'll be doing Vanilla No-S and 4 days a week of exercise.
March 1 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 2 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 3 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 4 SUCCESS - food
March 5 S DAY plus success on exercise which makes 4/4 for the week
March 6 S DAY
March 7 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 8 FAILURE -- ended up eating a bunch at a theatre event post-dinner
March 9 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 10 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 11 SUCCESS - food
March 12 S DAY
March 13 S DAY plus success on exercise which makes 4/4 for the week
March 14 SUCCESS - food
March 15 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 16 SUCCESS - food
March 17 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 18 SUCCESS - food
March 19 S DAY
March 20 S DAY -- didn't make my exercise goal this week; I was sick for 2 days, though, so am going to call it exempt rather than failure. I also had one day where I ended up getting home too late. I called that day a failure in my habitcal rather than exempt. It was more a failure of planning, but still the plan was the exercise that day and I didn't and I didn't suddenly get sick so I feel its the right call.
March 21 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 22 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 23 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 24 FAILURE -- ate 2 large cookies mid-afternoon for no good reason at all
March 25 SUCCESS - food
March 26 S DAY plus success on exercise which makes 4/4 for the week
March 27 S DAY plus success on exercise which makes 5/4 for the week
March 28 SUCCESS - food
March 29 SUCCESS - food
March 30 SUCCESS - food and exercise
March 31 SUCCESS - food and exercise -- That's 2/4 for the week so far. I'm planning pre-work yoga tomorrow and then a bunch of walking on Saturday to complete the week successfully.
So, 2 failures this month. That's definitely me doing better than the previous month. In fact, it's me doing the best I have in a very long time. I wish it'd been one less failure (or two less I guess, but since I didn't have any NWS days I actually feel fine about one), but still I feel good about how I did. Next month is a harder month for me and I'll have 3 NWS days -- given all those definitely looking forward to no failures. I'll be quite proud of myself when I see that success next month.

Hi All,
I'm afraid I didn't quite make it with "glass ceiling"...
Fascinating details here:

Looking forward to redeeming myself in the April thread,
Reinhard
P.S. great work the rest of you. Here's your chance to beat the founder at his own game! Just 2 more days...
