Accountability?

Hello All, I was wondering if others would like to see the accountability post again? Maybe posting what we eat, our work outs and goals? How often do you think it would be good to post it? Just wanting to get back on track and maybe we can help each other with this post again but not sure if you all are up for it again? Just let me know.... What I eat today so far: ( trying to get back on track) B- 1 whole grain English muffin with s/f jam and pat of butter. Archiev One protein drink S- 1 oz Pretzels L- Salad green, cucs and turkey salad made with light mayo w/ranch dressing, 1 oz chips.

What's a protein ball? 

Here's the recipe...they're GREAT and keep me FULL for hours!

I drink about 3 liters of water tainted with some flavor of Crystal Light all day long. 

I painted ( 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of paint) my dad's basement today.  From 10:40 a.m until 3:30 pm, minus lunch time.  Just had a nice hot shower (6:22 pm) and will settle down realizing I go back to work in the morning.  I've been off since 12/21/07! 

Sounds good to me!!! I started using fitday.com just to make sure I know what I am eating!! Turns out I was doing better than I thought!! B- 1/2 c cream of wheat w/raisins & protein powder L- 1 Italian Turkey sausage link w/ peppers, mushrooms & onions & green beans D- 3 oz chicken tender parm (no breading/homemade) & green beans I think I'll need part of a protein bullet later but right now something isn't sitting well so I can't think about it!!

Hi Deb. That's all anyone of us can do is as you say," Hang in there." You've kept your nose to the grindstone before and you WILL do it again. You still continue to inspire me anyway especially with your honesty. ***Lifted 16 lb. free weights - starting with 2 sets of 12. (Overhead and waist-to-***** ***2 mile walk today. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Took my vitamins. You don't even want to know what I had yesterday. Scary. As a result, today I had 3 protein shakes, tons of water and decaf tea. Tonight I will have a bit of unsweetened apple sauce. I will start my regular three meals tomorrow and pretend the other night didn't happen.  NEXT person?

Diane, Your posts always make me smile....THANKS Ciao
