Corrah Apr 2019 2:22pm, 25 Apr 2019 4,536 posts	0 Corrah Inspired by the contribution from Wednesday Mouse on the Fetch Podcast, I thought it might be nice for us to share the things we are doing each day to make it a non zero day. My eating has not been that healthy of late but I got up early and made myself a salad for lunch, which was delicious. A step in the right direction for me. Will report back this evening with something exercise related nut until then, it's over to you ...

minardi Apr 2019 2:32pm, 25 Apr 2019 4,627 posts	0 minardi Haven't had a chance to listen to the podcast yet but the ironing must be done this evening so will catch up then. I am assuming this is something I will want to do so will follow with interest I ran 4 miles this morning so does that count as a non-zero day? and ditto the ironing

Velociraptor Apr 2019 3:21pm, 25 Apr 2019 41,468 posts	0 Velociraptor I love the concept of a Non Zero Day and thank Wednesday Mouse for making it A Thing on here. Before we had a proper name for it, it was something I did to keep myself sane and keep my head in "training" mode when I was working long days. My strategy was to get to work early, park my car, and walk for at least 20 minutes before going into work and before eating breakfast at my desk. Colouring in the square on my Fetch Training Log calendar was like sticking a star on a star chart, and any other training I did that day would be a bonus.
Rrunner Apr 2019 3:50pm, 25 Apr 2019 305 posts	0 Rrunner Great idea. I have a tendency to think if I'm not running I'm doing nothing. I do plenty of walking and some XT so may find I don't have many (any?) zero days.
TeeBee Apr 2019 4:21pm, 25 Apr 2019 4,888 posts	0 TeeBee Brilliant There not many days that I don't do anything, but some activities (eg walking or at home core/yoga sessions) don't always get logged on Fetch. I like V'rap's goal of getting a colour in each square of the Fetch calendar. I am also struggling with motivation in non exercise related areas at the moment. I'm wondering if the non zero approach could be used for this as well (ITG alluded to this on the podcast thread, I recall)
