Airen's Check-In

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.

Today was a S-Day and so I had a breakfast burrito for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and a chicken sandwich for dinner. I treated myself with a Dairy Queen Brownie Earthquake!

Tomorrow is Monday and it's back the grind!! I'm ready!

Friday

I'm extremely sick today...called in sick to work. Haven't eaten anything yet and it's 4:30 p.m. I've got either some kind of nasty head cold or the flu...my body hurts really bad...BUT..I also have Fibromyalgia and Crohns Disease...so it could be that acting up. I guess today's an S day since I'm Sick.
