Sounds good to me.  Some people wish they could have it this good.  If you're not experiencing problems, it sounds like what is your normal.  You do not have to have a bowel movement everyday to be considered normal or regular.  But, what you have is pretty darn close.  Keep up with what you're doing, because this sounds wonderful.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  You are very lucky.  That is about as normal as you can get.  That is regular.  It is a misconception that you need to have a bowel movement every single day.
