Hey,
I keep seeing references to N days and I've read a few threads but I'm not sure what an N Day is exactly. Could someone illuminate me?
BTW -- on day 5 today and hanging in. I am seriously considering buying a sledge hammer this weekend. Should I start with 6 pounds?
Thanks,
Georgia
What's an N Day?

Well, an "N" day is a normal day when you don't snack, eat sweets or have seconds. On "S" days (Saturday, Sunday and "special" days) you can indulge in snacks and/or sweets and/or seconds as you choose.
Can't help you with the sledge hammer question.

If it's too easy, you'll know it after a month. AND you'll have the wonderful advantage of having built a great habit, which is the really important part.
Lemme tellya, Reinhard is soooo right. The habit is the thing.
vesta0424,
It started with S-days ("days that start with S").
Then there were Non-S-days. Which was too long and morphed into N-days. Which then was taken to refer to "Normal" days.
If you want to get really advanced, there are also now NWS days -- "non-weekend S-days -- e.i., "Special days".
As for the sledgehammer, I'd say start as light as possible, with just a few slow reps of each movement. Your dual priority should be:
1) don't injure yourself
2) focus on building the habit rather than building muscle.
A lighter hammer is better for both. Frankly, you could start with a broom.
Best of luck!
