Andrews 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.

This is technically my second day. These rules are very easy to follow and applying enough willpower I hope this turns into an overall success.

Yesterday I ate
Breakfast: Banana, handful of pretzels
Lunch: chicken
Dinner: tomato soup grilled cheese

Today I am doing better
Breakfast: banana
Lunch: Chow Mien
Dinner: Baked Potatoes

With this regimen and my weight lifting hopefully I can upgrade my over all health. So far I have been drinking tons of water, and I honestly haven’t craved snacks. I guess if you keep busy you can battle your hunger pangs. Well good luck to you all and I will talk to you again real soon.
