Welcome! Stopping for a week or two is nothing to sneeze at, from my perspective it is a very encouraging starting point. I get you about two days in a row, that killed me for a while, then it was the dreaded 3 day cycle for a while, now I'm on day 5. I learned what a plan was (see the stickies) and kept adapting when I got stuck so that I could move forward.
People have been very helpful and I encourage you to post often and not be shy.
All the best,
KP
