Thud, I hope it's not serious, and that you're 100% again soon. Chug back that tasty broth while your body regenerates.

Hope you recover quickly, Mr. Thud!

Nice job chugging along Kristine and Jess!

No snacking for me at all. I know this thread has helped me with that whole mindset shift. That, and I am tracking overall carbs & calories on a different site. I think that the combination of the two things are really making a difference. Tracking of the Carbs/Calories keeps me from going overboard or off plan and tracking here keeps me from eating too late at night.

If I make it through tomorrow, I will be 1/3 of the way there.

My carb habit:
Keep carbs to 100g or less daily.

My fast food habit:
No restaurants/fast food for 90 days, with the exception of date nights with my husband. (It must be an actual date, we can’t just go out to dinner to go out to dinner.)

Need to hydrate. Getting into a good routine of drinking more water - morning and afternoon.

Don't know how this challenge works. I'm just going to drink my water now.

Bless folks!

Challenge: Wake up at 6am every day
Black days: done
Red days: bust

Yesterday woke up at 8am, do I keep counting or do I have to start over?

Nice job Manda! Keep it up. And no need to start over. Just include it as a day you didn't make it. I think you are tracking fine. Whatever works best for you.

HG - Essentially this thread is to work on a discipline for 3 months to see how it goes. For me, it is not snacking too much at night. For Manda, it is waking up early. For you, it sounds like it is drinking water. How much do you want to drink? You can start tracking how things are going and how many days you drink more water. Most people pick a day and start the 90 day challenge. They track how many days they meet their target and note if they miss any. You can join us!

Thanks, Jeff, and welcome Happy Girl!

Manda, I agree on the day-counting rule. If I end up with something like 75/90 days when I'm done, I consider that pretty good. It means I've adopted a new habit, and it'll feel weird when I don't do it.

HG, if/when you decide to jump in, I'd set a more specific behaviour goal than "drink more water." Maybe something like keeping the water glass/bottle handy at all times, and refill it immediately when you finish it. (I personally don't like target water quantity goals because no one needs the same amount of water every day. Just keep it handy so you can sip when you're thirsty.)

Jeff, nice job being about 1/3 of the way there.

Someone was moving into the apartment upstairs and kept me up past 1am until I decided to knock on their door and beg them to call a lid and resume during non-quiet hours. The kid was stoned and confused out of his mind and kept moving things around a bit more quietly. It was in the room directly above my bedroom so...I kept hoping he would pass out so I didn't have to call the police. He settled down within a few minutes.

Way to get up and getting going this morning, Manda! That had to be tough being up that late in the morning and still get up at 6. I would really struggle with that.

No snacking for me. Just continuing to ease on down the road.

Dec 30 - March 30 * Protein prioritization and strength training

Yesterday: 2/2
Successful protein goal days: 9/9
Successful workout days: 9/9

Mini-goal for today: remember to get the nutrition info for a few of the foods at work. Yesterday was a guess when I plugged it into FitDay.

Another day with no snacking. I think it may be easier to just cut out snacking altogether rather than measuring it out. There isn't anything wrong with an ounce of cheese with some tea in the evening if I'm feeling peckish while watching a movie, but it's not needed most night. Filling up on protein and letting my body work on it during the evening instead seems to work very well.
