I am in for the October challenge. Although I will always adhere to the NoS lifestyle, I get lazy and do not track and do not pay attention to my food choices. Posting helps me be honest about my behavior. For Oct I will track NoS compliance, Glass Ceiling and Exercise.
(Exercise is a minimum of 45 minutes per day with no off days unless I am sick or injured. Glass ceiling is two. I am retired so I take my yellow S days on irregular days due to an irregular schedule. October has 9 Saturday's and Sundays so any S days over 9 are red days. Yet if I have an over the top red day for no apparent reason, I do count that as red..)
Oct. 1: Green times 3.
Oct 2: Green times 3.
Oct 3: Green Glass Ceiling and Exercise; Yellow (S day) for food.
Today was an over the top S day. Wow! Felt awful afterwards.
Oct 4: Green glass ceiling and Exercise; Yellow/S day for food
Oct 5: Green for exercise; Red for Glass ceiling and food.
Oct 6: Green times 3
Oct 7: Green times 3
Oct 8: Green for exercise; Red for Glass ceiling and food.
Having three light beers over a period of several hours does not seem abusive, but it is not necessarily good for me either
Oct 9: Green times 3.
Oct 10: Almost Green times three but ate a chocolate covered banana so it is an S day/yellow
Oct 11: Green times three
Oct 12: Green times three
Oct 13: Green for exercise and glass ceiling; RED for food.
Oct 14: Red glass ceiling; Yellow/S day for food; Green for exercise
Oct 15: Green times 3
Oct 16: Green times 3

Rejoining the monthly challenge for accountability (it's been a year). Trying to keep three balls in the air: No-S, Daily Exercise, Daily Rosary. Find that if I miss one, everything seems out of whack.

Jumping in. It's usually better for me to establish a bit of a streak and THEN start recording. I haven't found that "committing" ahead of time helps with exercise, which is the habit I'm most concerned with these days.
I think I did a minimum vigor (Shovelglove-like) workout every N day this week and several in October before this week. I did a beach walk one day. It's starting to feel rather natural. I am working up to 14 minutes of vigor and minimum 30 minutes of Urban Ranger or what I consider the equivalent on weekdays.

Hi oolala-
Sounds great! I'm glad you're finding your exercise mojo. I'll bet that will help with giving you a better appetite and increasing your calorie needs... general feeling of well-being, too! I wish I'd do more, or more consistently, myself.
