SilentButDeftly's Daily Check-In... 21 days or bust!

Take a sledgehammer and wrap an old sweater around it. This is your "shovelglove." Every week day morning, set a timer for 14 minutes. Use the shovelglove to perform shoveling, butter churning, and wood chopping motions until the timer goes off. Stop. Rest on weekends and holidays. Baffled? Intrigued? Charmed? Discuss here.

SilentButDeftly's Daily Check-In... 21 days or bust!

Post by SilentButDeftly » Wed Jan 11, 2006 8:16 pm

Okay, so I had one of these posts on the Daily Check-In Forum for No-S and it really seemed to help, so I figured I'd try one here for Shovelglove. I started Shovelgloving around the same time I started No-S-ing but I was never able to keep myself going for more than a few days at a time. I'm hoping that with a daily check-in maybe I can get myself to the magical 21 days. Here goes nothing!

Hey Pete! Great work on your 21 days on habit for NoS.. I think that you are doing fantastic..
Why not use your "Daily Check in" page to track your eating and exercise habits... After you hit the 21 days, it's still okay to post over there...
(I post more than once a day! LOL... postaholic here! )
Or you can stay here.. I just think of the Daily checkin, personally, as an overall "diary" which includes whether I exercised or not...
Either way..
Keep it up man!!!

Peace and Love,
8) Deb

Good idea, Pete. Keep em coming.

Also, if you just want to add this to your nosdiet checkin instead of keeping two, that's totally ok (and what a lot of other people have been doing). I probably should have put the "daily check in" forum under everyday systems rather than nosdiet, since it makes sense to track all your everyday habits in one place. Maybe I can even move it somehow.... I'll look into it.

Why does everyone keep calling me Pete? :lol:

I've moved my SG checkins to my no-S checkin page too...
