Monday Morning at NCSunshine's House

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.

Monday Morning at NCSunshine's House

It's back to reality after a topsy-turvy couple of S-Days! Unfortunately I began rolling them in with an evening at a Japanese Restaurant where it was impossible to "Plate." Not only would it have insulted the chef, it couldn't be done without being handcuffed because the aroma grabbed every taste bud I owned. The taste buds stayed active all day Saturday but by yesterday, the system was sated and food with the exception of a large chocolate covered cookie I'd made for a bake sale, had lost a lot of its appeal. (The cookie is history). I'm back to plating today and with a happy heart I'm glad to say.

Here's sto Monday and plating with happy hearts! :D
