You can do it, Scrappy!
After taking a single day off yesterday, I am now on the other side of the "take days here and there" vs. "take a whole week off, even with no plans" debate. I am still not ready to go to work!
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck, Scrappy!
I am already looking forward to my week off next week (and mildly stressing myself out with the too many things I would like to get done while I'm not working...)

Do people use/like Fitday? I don't need to track food, but I'd like to track my sleep and exercise; it's part of my therapy plan for insomnia and depression. I REALLY like my psychiatrist! He gave my a ton of free samples of my pricey new AD!
Oh, I am OFF Xanax and Ambien. 4 days of sleep restriction, and no matter how late I go to bed, I am getting up at or before 11, and no naps, and not going to bed before 11 pm. This is going to be hard, but Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has a better success rate for insomnia and drugs. And my new AD is working GREAT so far.

I signed up for Fitday back in the dark ages and used it for about a month? Any kind of tracking software that requires input from me is not going to succeed.
[Like, if Google Glass could take a picture of everything I ate and calculate the calories for me and also sync up with a watch pedometer or something...I would happily log in at the end of the day and look at all the data I'd generated. But I can't be bothered to write that shit down.]

Our wings are not tired.
I use Spark [link] and that has places for tracking exercise and sleep, etc.
Yay for the good drugs!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I used FitDay for several months after I got out of the hospital to log food and exercise. I rather liked the way it tracked and gave graphs analyzing various aspects of nutrition intake. At the time I was doing it, my primary motivation for doing so was to prove to the doctors and therapists that I was not eating like a fat pig, therefore I don't deserve to be a fat pig, therefore there is something wrong either with my body or with the universe. I find that it helps a great deal with keeping me centered on mindful/intuitive eating, so I decided yesterday to start tracking again.

Do people use/like Fitday?
I used it when I first went on my eat-healthier/lose weight thing back in 2006/2007. But now I use MyFitnessPal (when I use anything) because I like the app better.
I finally got a little belt to wear while running that will fit my phone, so I can start using one of those GPS-enabled tracking apps, and automate tracking my running. Of course, I'm going to Colorado for over a week on Friday, and for part of the time I'll be above 8,000 feet--I suspect there won't be much running going on.
Gasping, yes. Running, no.

In other fitness news, I am buying a Wii Fit today! And a Wii to go with it. I predict that I will use it diligently for at least two or three weeks before letting it gather dust in a corner and eventually relist it on Craigslist.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
no work for the yard again today. sucks. Now the terminal manager has had to go out on errands, so I am stuck here until he gets back and I forgot my book today.
Currently there are 3 drivers gossiping like old ladies in the other office. Trying to tell me that I am trouble. hmmm. They think they know, but they don't know. I told them they needed to settle down and that they'd do best to think of me as the old lady mama, cause that is all they ever gonna see.
