Marcy's Daily Checkin

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.

8) Did pretty well on first day. Still using up some old shake and protein bar stuff, but ate lots of veggies as well with my "meals" and didn't have any snacks, sugar, or seconds! I didn't get my exercise in as it was a pretty busy day, but plan to tonight.

Week one

So this isn't quite as easy as I thought it would be, but it's definitely not hard and it is so liberating to not have to eat disgusting diet stuff. I am looking forward to a piece of gourmet pizza and salad for dinner tonight!
