November Challenge :)

Post by HealthPrincess9 » Mon Nov 02, 2009 7:25 pm

I hope this is ok for me to start! I saw the October Challenge thread and wanted to get it going for November!

Here are the guidelines as posted for the October Challenge:
- *Remember* to only post once on the first page so that we can all get in at the top. This makes it easier to keep tabs on eachother.
- Please re-read that last one, some people don't get it.
- edit your first post all month so we can all keep tabs on eachother.
- after October 3rd we will continue posting at the bottom for encouragement and fun.
- write your "best" that you want to beat.
- good luck and have fun with it!

I'm going to keep my HabitCal up to date this month, and report here occasionally. I have been goofing off too much, and I like how I feel when I keep on a pretty strict NoS.

My goals are pretty much the same as Kwonset.
Strict NoS, and upkeep of my HabitCal's, with occasional check in's here if needed.
I gained about five pounds back of my 11 lost in the past few weeks, mostly over this weekend. I hope to lose it all back again and hopefully a few additional more.
Have a great month all!

Last month didn't go as well as I'd hoped. Two red days for both No-S and Shovelglove!

This month, I'm going to do better!

Nov 1: Exempt
Nov 2: Success
Nov 3: Mixed Success on No-S, Failure on Shovelglove. Damnit!
Nov 4: Success
Nov 5: Success
Nov 6: Success
Nov 7: Exempt
Week 1: All good on the No-S front, but a failure on Shovelglove.

Nov 8: Exempt
Nov 9: Mixed Success on No-S, Failure on Shovelglove
Nov 10: Mixed Success on No-S, Failure on Shovelglove
Nov 11: Exempt
Nov 12: Mixed Success on No-S, Failure on Shovelglove
Nov 13: Mixed Success on No-S, Failure on Shovelglove
Nov 14: Exempt
Week 2: Ended up taking the week off of shovelglove. I fall into the classic stereotype of using stress at work as an excuse not to exercise. Blargh.

Nov 15: Exempt
Nov 16: Success
Nov 17: Success
Nov 18: Mixed Success on No-S, Failure on Shovelglove. If I don't shug in the morning, I don't seem to do it in the evening. Habit, habit, habit!
Nov 19: Success
Nov 20:
Nov 21:
Week 3:

Shovel glove? Isn't that the size of prophylactic I use?
