I had a major argument with my wife kids and grandmother. I told her I was sorry I don't want to get into the details unless somebody wants to private message me. what I came on here to say since yhis is a place for no s related things is that I wish to have a good day even as i keep trying to do we...

I have problems waking up I guess I have sleep drunkenness probably because I am on mental health pills I'm not quite sure what to do but being drowsy when I wake up is really hurting me. itâ€™s the one thing that even if i get it right, iâ€™d feel worse about that then if iâ€™d let myself sleep. th...

I have 2 dogs but they are wild and its hard to take them both for a walk... Last night there was some marital arguments, and I used them to allow me to eat. Not a true s day, but for me it was. I cut off sunday at lunch so its normally not too bad if I eat friday night, but it was the excess that w...

One thing that i am proud of though is urban ranger. it's been pretty frigid, i don't see many others out there urban rangering around.... granted i don't go that far only about 10-12 minutes, but that's not too bad. walking is something that brought me to start exercising even before i knew of rein...

I am heading into the weekend doing marginally well I'm doing better than I was in December but there have been a few times where I have allowed a diet pop this week which is not what I have intended also a day or two this week I have woke up 10 or 15 minutes late then I intend both of these are str...

abelincoln

thank you eschano for your kind words. I feel like I am back on schedule although maybe a bit lackadaisical in rules. My mood and spirits are good though and it feels good to get back on track my habitcal is going back in the right direction with a few minor bumps on the road. I am always honest wit...

abelincoln

back to feeling like I'm on a roll again

Reinhard: Carve out the time, consistently, provide the external frame for your behavior to happen in, and the frame will get filled in.

abelincoln

Ive decided to start over with my habitcal.

Will see how I am going to do.

As you can see from my posts ive had difficulty during the holidays

I never do well when my wife and kids are home

Last night I got a bunch of chores done

abelincoln

you are probably right since my life is more disorganized and unscheduled than most it might take me longer to develop a good habit then it would someone else I should mention that right now I let stress get the better of me and I'm not trying really to do anything I think the worst habit that crept...

abelincoln

Thanks gin... the main reason I post is I believe in reinhards system. I am not 100% sure yet that daily checkin is right for me I am not much of a craftsman and my wife has me pulling apart the house on top of other things and yes its stressful Also it seems like every time I turn around there is s...

abelincoln

my daily check-in has become a joke for me all I report are the bad things and most of the things are bad right now I really need to regroup rethink and start fresh and then maybe I will consider writing more of these daily check ins

abelincoln

fight one enemy at a time is what I did today my enemy is the biggest problem that I have and my solution is to win the habitcal what I have done was to fight the enemy of waking up late today and I have succeeded

abelincoln

I didn't really eat like a pig day. it's an s day. but i so far failed to do many chores and urban ranger. we've had much family drama. more like action thriller... violence betrail, money issues.. i can't say im responsible for all of those but i will say that it overwhelmed me and i "shake it off"...

abelincoln

I have been giving up on the entire day when I wake up late (because I thought that by not allowing a "fix", by not "lowering the stakes" or making it ok to start on the wrong foot, I was actually being more better by making myself behave right the first time around, and that I'd eventually get back...

abelincoln

I am just had a string of bad days probably last until the 26th

abelincoln

we had to wake up early take the kids to the dentist I forgot my rule about not dozing while in a chair I sort of slept for a while on the bright side I got shoveglove done

abelincoln

we stayed at my parents house playing video games till 12 o'clock came home didn't get to sleep till 130 then of course I slept in missing some of my morning routine habitcal items

abelincoln

Well I hope I can do that good in four years

For 2 months ive just been maintaining

I'm just focused on getting less reds in the habitcal and more moderate s days

i too struggled this week.

have a nice Christmas vacation

abelincoln

i've been like a pinball lately (and not racking up many points). my switcheroos in my habitual morning time behaviors have thrown me off kilter instead of following the plan i've been questioning the plan. using conscious willpower to decide rather than habit... and it's scary i don't know how to g...

abelincoln

thanks so much it felt good to get things off my chest and I know I have a lot to live for even though my own personal choices have led me to a place that isn't ideal there is still much to live for. I had been doing very good with No S. I know I can do it again. today telling this story was about t...

abelincoln

Hello reinhard, and others... I have something that's been difficult for me to say, for fear i might lose respect, friends, or be embarassed. You see 10 years ago I was a troubled young man with some problems that I had to overcome, drugs, alcohol, and was just generally a deviant type person. I had...

abelincoln

good for you R Jean sometimes I wish I could fit in with the crowd that stuck to the plan because it seems like they always have the higher ground when it comes to a moral argument about something no s related but for now I have a couple mods and not too many and I don't know if I will ever change i...

abelincoln

No S was made for you, not you for No S. We are all adults here and if you want to start your weekend on Friday night then by all means, do so. I start my weekends with Friday dinner. Not Friday at 4PM because it's almost dinner time. Not at 10AM when someone has doughnuts in the office because it'...

abelincoln

I wasn't feeling good. (truth be told i think it was more of a feeling bad about myself personally and also feeling that i messed up, and said "what the hell") anyway i argued with my wife the night before about an issue with my kids and woke up decided to sleep an extra 10 minutes... a strike on my...

abelincoln

2 days on the 12 pound sledge it is a lot more grueling than the eight pounder

Slight muscle soreness but four months previous on the 8 pounder must have built me up good enough

abelincoln

Its my first set of major holidays on no s and other systems ive been doing.. for full disclosure there was an all night shopping spree and changing phones.. plus my wife and I both fed off of each others breaking the rules. Anyway, today my only strike is sleeping in. But this month im getting an F...

abelincoln

Yeah. Im just trying to make it fit.

I have only knowledge of myself, of which im trying to gain control.

Thanks. Will reevaluate, maybe focusing on results too much than behavior,

Then again i dont want to conceed when i feel im only stumbling not falling

Have a good thanksgiving

abelincoln

I don't know what I am doing lately family drama and possibly nerves but it is close to Thanksgiving we ate out at Schlotzsky's and I had a Cinnabon + ate off my kids plate I took a half s day because that is what I do if I only eat one meal wrong during the day I feel terrible about this because it...

abelincoln

yep it has been a good exercise for me! I think I will mull it over for the weekend Happy Thanksgiving

abelincoln

I made it to thanksgiving break, but broke down when i got there. Spent today doing fine, then when night came i had dinner and then decided to make it an s day. This made me upset and want to quit it all.

But i will see what tomorrow brings. Im trying to get my soul in the right place

abelincoln

Question, any ideas on good sledge options, i'm thinking of going from 8 to 12 pounds. Right now i use a collins fiberglass handle 8 lb sledge, not sure of handle length... i like it and have done pretty good compliance wise for 4 months... I see the jackson hickory handle on the shovelglove store f...

abelincoln

first time posting a daily check in. Let stress get the better of me.

looked at faucet in front of house, saw that there was leakage, fear that it will freeze, go unnoticed, and creat a flood in my house, which trigger lots of anger.

I pigged out on some leftover junk, didnt even enjoy it

abelincoln

not really but I welcome others to discuss their thoughts I was mainly concerned about the fact that I have taken several unplanned S days in a row because the mother in law was in town but I probably worried most about shovel glove I just really need to get back on track and I didn't want any confu...

abelincoln

The s day framework is great... Is there any other things dropped/kept on s days. Im speaking specifically about shovelglove... and unplanned s days Right now, i sort of try and keep somewhat virtuous even on s days, ie urban ranger But if its a particularly stressful unplanned s day... I guess that...

2 months plateau thus far...

abelincoln

Just was curious...

Thanks for your info..

It was just interesting that the first 20 came off so fast... then the wall

But im comfortable intake wise

abelincoln

so if I am sitting at a point where I may notice a tenth of a percent body weight change per week you think that if I keep on trying to NO S the same way as usual there may be a chance I will eventually in some unexplainable way lose weight.... or rather as long as I can effectively plateau there is...

is there anything that you did differently to get off your plateau?

abelincoln

its weird I've been immersing myself and all the teachings that you have on your website, but I still never really put the time into this particular one and it solved my problem/dillema very nicely so that I believe I will continue on better habits rather than focusing on results I like everything a...

abelincoln

so far I've tried not looking at the scale for 1 week and already I feel better

abelincoln

pop of any type is probabably not good

i enjoy it in varying degrees on s days

abelincoln

for clarification you are talking about type 2 diabetes? isn't that supposed to be preventable

abelincoln

for me the hardest part is the weight comes off slowly but it's also the slowness that makes it tolerable you can lose weight on a fast weight loss program but it will feel messed up I guess if you really want to know whether you like NO S or not try one of those fast weight loss programs. actually ...

abelincoln

Thanks... its not budging lately weightwise. But i suspect i've been eating bigger meals, and having milk sometimes too much

But not budging is better than going back in the 300's club

abelincoln

Naw.. it will just come to you i am sure

I'm usually not very comical or enlightened when i get put on the spot...

But by decluttering, its house tasks? I like decluttering better than "cleaning" which i use on my daily cards

abelincoln

for all I didn't notice there's a good thread on this

http://everydaysystems.com/bb/viewtopic ... light=byos

I will try your suggestions

another idea butter/powdered sugar? in accordance with BYOS

Is there "something" i can put on waffles on an N day...

My wife has been planning waffles for dinner..

abelincoln

I definitely fall into the latter category I never really noticed it about myself but it started to affect my decisions about food if I was low I might think I could eat more if I was high I would think I needed to eat less.... but where it started to get weird i'd go to the bathroom and the scale w...

abelincoln

it might be a small thing to have a everyday system for but it keeps me from weighing in too much and too often and one way mass is measured is by weighing. I would be surprised if someone hasn't thought of this yet the goal is to weigh in every morning on Monday before you drink after the bathroom ...

abelincoln

I will probably get something like that sooner or later I wonder if the prices will go down anyways for now I do have a tracking app that I use I just have to input it. I am not too worried about it but it would be nice to have something integrated that worked with the web I recently paid pretty big...

abelincoln

it's always a big decision whenever I do anything like this like starting exercising or dieting and I have always held onto having a weigh-in every day which has not worked out that well for me because it affects my decisions where it should not so I think once a week will work better for me

abelincoln

once a week sounds reasonable I am glad I am making this decision thanks for your help

abelincoln

the problem i'm having, my scale. first of all i don't know whether to weigh in the morning or at night.. I generally just use it when it is convenient for me but it happens to be several times a day. i don't think there is any way you are going to get a perfectly accurate reading on any given day a...

abelincoln

I do tea and I also do milk but I don't do them together I don't think the tea i use strong enough for it

But might try it

Thanks clarinetgal.. i am sort of a SAHD working from home.. its not easy raising little ones as it seems.

i have to find a good balance. : )

abelincoln

well i don't know about the lazy part, but i know that i get done more after having done reinhards systems than i did before and i think the main reason for that is i actually commit to my todos. i used to have a todo list where it was a list nothing more. anyway great advice. i never heard of the M...

abelincoln

On reinhards forum it mentions that 7 items for a day on your chain of command card is a sweet spot for number of items in a day. I don't put everything on my cards so maybe I don't have as much to go off of but I do put the important things and I usually have a couple important things per day now y...

Hey german herman the lose weight fast program is what it is. Of course it is seductive.... at least like you say its the most radical, so if i am able to get it out of my head, theres nothing thats as radical left to entice me Also, nice to see another aaaaahhhhh, chubby? Person has succeeded with ...

abelincoln

Yes wosnes i believe thats true.

No s could probably stabilize me after the fact... but its really a disservice to the nos process to switch on/off of the diet

abelincoln

Thanks guys. Nice wisdom and suggestions

abelincoln

I dont know about thor, but yes i lost weight on no s and im sure the guy is lying because he says there is 100% success. But people who use the habitcal have a way of looking at things where yes, if you have 100% compliance you might be successful, but who really has 100% compliance. That dr made i...

abelincoln

Thanks for the confirmation... the stress would have got me.

I warded off thoughts of switching today.

It really is true that its easy to gain the weight back after a diet like that

pS I have always felt a bit on the girly side for a man sort of like a girly man even though I'm a pretty tough guy it sort of fazed me when I started doing shovel glove and right after that Thor was declared to be a girl in Marvel Comics I know this has no bearing on me but it just felt sort of lik...

I hate it when I have two competing ideas in my head and I know one of them is better for the long term and one is better in the short run. now the five bite diet described by Dr Lewis in a book that I didn't read I only watched YouTube video describes losing pounds per day and some cases in the no ...

in my local paper I thought that it would do me no trouble to read it, but when they started out with saying all over the world everyone is fat I do not like that they act like there is no other solution almost like the doctors love to do the surgery if you are not aware of what I am talking about t...
