How effective does everyone find HabitCal?
Effective in terms of helping to build habits, I mean. The reason I ask is I'm having problems getting green weeks, and I'm not sure whether it's my flabby willpower (probably), whether I'm simply trying to do too many changes at once (possible), or what. I was hoping HabitCal would help me be more ...

The most important meal of the day, right?
Hello everybody, I've been trying (and failing, but mark it and move on) to start No S ing. The quality and supportiveness of feedback and advice on these boards has been impressive. Since you're all such an intelligent, informed, and pleasant bunch, it seemed easier to come to you with a question t...

It's only an 8-pounder, but I'm moving further and further down the handle each day, so leverage is probably changing that. In good news, muscles are beginning to show on my arms, and my shirts are beginning to fit differently. There aren't too many opportunities for heavy lifting in my life, so it'...

Good advice is never a downer! :) That's an excellent warning about the dangers of bargaining and credit-earning - it's the sort of behavior that everybody has but rarely pays attention to. To be honest, yesterday that very issue came up; thankfully, the oh-so-simple every weekday rule won out. In S...

Yesterday I was restless and SGd and extra day (and at night, no less, which was actually just as good as you said it would be, Heidster), and made it to 20/15/10. Tonight I'm going to try to hit 30/20/10, though that may be too much for me. I'm getting a bit of muscle on part of my upperarm and a g...

Oh, well done, Heidster! I'll have to try out sets of 50 next week. :) Your perspectives on the morning/evening are interesting - time's available reliably in the mornings for me, but maybe the evenings would be more entertaining. I'll have to try Monday night. The 20 today was easier, but maybe tha...

Got my 14 minutes in with no problem, which is good. I'm still not very fast, but all things in time. For some reason the muscles on the left side of my back burn with effort when I'm SGing, but not the right side, no matter which way I'm angled. Has anybody else experienced this? Am I doing somethi...

Thanks, David. :) I'm not really a fluffy and pink person, fungus, though that would make anything look less threatening. I'll keep it in mind if I ever have to drag the SG to work again. Today was blissfully routine compared to yesterday. I'm starting to speed up and not have to think about where m...

Today was really, really hard. After getting to bed late after overtime, being woken often by much-crazier-than-usual cats, and getting up early to go to a meeting, I was exhausted and had less time than usual. I sat in the living room, staring at the shovelglove with glazed eyes, cats bumping again...

I did it! 14/7, all 14 minutes! My hands feel like they're going to fall off! :D It's wierd, apparently the right arm is stronger overall, but the left grip is much better. I didn't think I used it more... hmm. I'm still moving very slowly compared to what most people posting here are able to do, bu...

Thanks for the encouragement. :) Everything the same today, still the 14-at-a-go, still only 10 minutes so far, but at least I didn't forget or put it off. I feel wierd about posting a little notice like this, but it was surprisingly motivating knowing I'd be embarassed if I didn't. "Oh no, a group ...

Hello everybody, After following the link from stumptuous.com and reading just about everything on the site, I decided to give shovelgloving a try. I'm only two days in and taking it slowly, but I figure posting here about progress will help me keep it up until the habit is fully ingrained. :) Yeste...
