Stuff I've turned away so far this week at work:
Free Smoothie
Free Brownie
Free Ice Cream
I didn't really even want them, although if I'm offered the same stuff on an S-day I'm all over it. Habit shapes desire.

"Habit shapes desire." Good to know. (I'm just checking out some of the "old-timers" posts to glean what I can. Hope you don't mind.) And, I hope you are feeling better soon.

I'm feeling almost 100% again. Thanks for the good wishes, Jill! As far as an old-timer's advice, I have learned that No-S works great for me if I don't quit and I don't get distracted.

Thanks for the support, Tink and Reinhard! My biggest challenge has been to end late night snacking. No-S makes that battle pretty easy to win.

New exercise protocol starting this week. Before shugging, at the beginning of my 14 minutes, I do push-ups, body rows (rings), and skip rope. This week the numbers are 10 each of push ups and body rows and 100 rope skips. Next week I will up everything to 11/11/110, then 12/12/120 the next week and so on...
It's not all that challenging right now but I expect it will be by the time I reach my goal of doing 50/50/500 each N day then shugging for the rest of the 14 minutes. After the 10 months, I may do something else.
The three days of the week I teach aikido I'll do something similar by doing 10 forward rolls and 100 sword cuts before each class. I'll gradually work to 50 rolls and 500 cuts by upping the rolls by one and the cuts by 10 each week. Doing 50 rolls and 500 cuts wouldn't be overly challenging right now, but I like the gradually increasing protocol and the mirroring of practice in the dojo and exercise at home.

Sometimes, maybe all the time I'm subbing whatever type of squat for skipping rope (count for week x 10).

No-S has been dicey on the last two Fridays. I think it's mainly a reaction to tough work weeks.

I haven't been checking in for a while due to vacation followed by a death in the family.
My exercise/shovelglove has been very on-target as far as consistency.
No-S has been about 85%-90%. The no-S habit has been sticking with me without much effort on my part.

I'm keeping on track quite well. My work schedule is improving so I'm even able to get some extra walking and stair action during the day.
Morning exercise is SG plus some shadow boxing, sword swinging, knife work....BUT mostly SG. I'm feeling quite strong and fit lately.

SG= churn x 20 L/R
shovel x 50 L/R
fence posts x 50 L/R
paddling x 30 L/R
hoist sack--a few on the left
So, a few more than 300 strokes in all. I find that 300 is average for any given 14 minutes.
Yesterday, I did burpees 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 with about one minute rest between each set. Burpees are OK, I guess, but I just like shovelglove so much better.

Breakfast: smoothie and some almonds
Lunch: spinach salad with 1/2 apple, kidney beans, and veganaise
Dinner: baked salmon, baked plantain, couscous, baby carrots
Urban Ranger: 1.6 miles
Evening Exercise: weighted crunches, ab wheel, back extensions, pull ups
Weekend went well--I indulged in a lot of S-ing (and gained some wt. to show for it). Sunday aikido class was pretty vigorous.
I notice you use the ab wheel. I love the ab wheel.

I've been pretty well on habit. Probably 95% on No-S wise.
Exercise is iffy because of some nagging tightness/injuries.
