I kept waiting for someone to start but I guess I will. :D I'm excited to get back to tracking on here because I haven't been being accountable.

Hi, Maggie:
I would like to join! I restarted today, so I guess I just start with arrows?

I am using blue as the color to denote an exempt day where I stick to my non-exempt day plan (also helps me use up my blue star stickers on my real calendar).

Hi bd88! If you don't want to count the last few days,then arrows are fine. I do my calendar as a Sundayt through Saturday on each line. So my first two arrows show that Sunday and Monday didn't count because they were still July. However it makes sense to you! 😊

How's everyone doing? This has been a crazy month for me! (But we just got back from the eclipse & it was amazing! I'll have to post on my check-in thread.) Things are definitely off, and even the technically green days have not been great. Too much traveling and junk meals! Time to get back in the saddle! I hope to finish out the month on a good note, but it may take more time than that to get back to where I was.

Hi Merry, glad you had a good time at the eclipse, it sounds awesome! I have given up marking August, we had a family camping trip for 10 days where I mostly stuck to NoS but not enough to tick off lots of green! Am back on it now but think I'll just wait for September to roll around and start again, will be back in school and work routne so should be better (fingers crossed!)

I hope September goes well for you! I like to mark at least on Habit Cal or my check-in, so that if I'm not losing I can remember I've been doing other special things instead--it keeps me from thinking it's "just not working," LOL! I'm okay with some lack of progress if there's a reason!

August had a lot of S days for me as well with vacation and all. I teach and one of the reasons I'm actually looking forward to the start of the new school year is getting back into my routine. It's funny because I've never had this before!
