Counting carbs/calories is a drag. Obsessive scale stepping is a recipe for despair. If you want to count something, "days on habit" is a much better metric. Checking off days on a calendar would do just fine, but if you do it here you get accountability and support. Here's how. Start a new topic in this forum called (say) "Your Name Daily Check In." Then every N day post a "reply" to that topic as to whether you stayed on habit. A simple "<font color="green">SUCCESS</font>" or "<font color="red">FAILURE</font>" (or your preferred euphemism if that's too harsh) is sufficient, but obviously you're welcome to write more if you want. On S-days just register that you're taking an S-day. You don't have to do this forever, just until you're confident you've built the habit. Feel free to check in weekly or monthly or sporadically instead of daily. Feel free also to track other habits besides No-s (I'm keeping this forum under No-s because that's what the vast majority are using it for). See also my <a href="/habitcal/">HabitCal</a> tool for another more formal (and perhaps complementary) way to track habits.

Hi Jackn, Does that mean you did half of your bodyweight routine, or is that how we'd say mid-morning?

Thanx, whoson.
By 'half', I mean half of what I used to do.
In terms of the bodyweight routine, used to do 10 reps of each exercise. The 'half' means 5 instead of 10. Thus, it's the same series of exercises but half the volume. In other words, half morning-bodyweight-routine rather than half-morning bodyweight routine.
As to when, it's usually first thing in the morning, around 4 to 5 am. I simply find it hard, esp in summer, to do it later in the day, and prefer doing it on an empty stomach.
Similarly, 'half yoga video', means a 30-min or so class rather than a 60-min one.
Yes, the terms really make for a note to myself rather than a clear public communication.
Good luck on your path, whoson.

I always feel badly for you when you have a short sleep and don't feel rested! I may have missed a post somewhere about why this is a struggle, or maybe you haven't shared. Anyway...sounds exhausting!

That's awesome! I've had a bad couple of nights due to my cold & was praying you'd have a good night's sleep. It's so hard not to be well-rested.
The walks sound lovely!

I haven't slept 8 hours for over 20 years. I don't know why, either, though when I'm on break, I do get a bit more. But I'm willing to sleep more any day; the body doesn't cooperate. It irks me so much when all these health articles these days say to get more sleep.

Hit the nail on the head, Oolala...
They'll go on for pages about the virtues of sleeping, as if most people were shirking this unpleasant duty.
Then, here and there, there's some flimsy, dubious advice.
Hope your sleep improves.

My health plan offers a sleep clinic which they claim has good results. I'm going to call to sign up after my two-week break coming up. I hope I'll have good news to report.
I'm afraid it might end up that I just need to follow some advice similar to the simple recommendations of No S- which took decades of believing it had to be something else.
