HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY POST

Accountability Mission: No Mercy and No Excuses

Its MONDAY, time to begin a new week.  But first, how'd you do last week?  Tell the whole truth and be accountable.  Have you lived up to your expectations?  Did you achieve the results you were working for?   What's your plan for the week ahead?    

...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

Sunday was a good day!  I finally got a full workout, both cardio and strength.  I had to dial down the intensity and weight but I got it done.  Hopefully, I'll be back to my normal routine soon.

Food was on point until I had dinner out and fell for that damned bread.  Still, it was my only carb of the day so net carbs were under 40g,  Other than that, lean meat and protein powder only.  I was overboard on the liquids which will come back to bite me but I stayed away from the caffine and the sodium. 

I'm going to try and stay off the scale until this edems goes away but it just keeps calling me...

I did well at keeping the carb monster at bay last wee****il Saturday. I ate more carbs this weekend than I did during any day in April.  I usually do well when eating out but not this weekend. I think..... I'm PMSing, the carb monster is chasing me, I'm retaining fluid and I feel like being a biotch:)

All that being said I return to work tomorrow after 6 weeks of sick leave.  I will have to ignore the bagels, donuts, downtown eateries and all of the temptations always lurking around the office.  I Need to plan my breakfast and lunches for the week today .  I think I'm going to buy a 2nd magic bullet blender to leave at work so that I can have a protein shake for lunch some days.

My goal is to continue low carb eating and to keep the "sick" weight off :) 19 lbs. from my 130 lb personal goal.   my ultimate goal is 125lbs

Go girl, slay that carb monster!  Keeping a blender at work is a great idea. 

Back in my no op days I kept Luna protein bars in my file cabinet at work.  It kept me away from temptation.  Thankfully we had no snack machines but the working late and ordering in...  well...  you know the rest, lol. 

I am low carbing and watching my sodium intake for the next three days to see if there will be any significant changes in my weight.  I did not live up to my expectations for the month of April  It took me a year to break the cycle of onederland and twoterville.  It  has been almost eight months since I broke into the 180's and keep going back into the low 190's. I know it is going to take a much greater effort on my part to break this cycle because the closer you get to goal the harder it becomes. 

Beautiful avi, love the hair. 

@ the closer you get to goal the harder it becomes

That is God's honest truth!  But, you will get there because
1. You know what's stopping your progress.
2. You never want to go back to where you were.
3. You'd rather not have Ms #1MM have to 'explain it to you', .  

Glad you're back on the program girl! 

Thanks ((((M)))) and I don't want  #1MM to have to explain anything to me.

I mowed down anything with carbs and within arms or kid's reach (as in 'brang me that packet of cookies out tha kitchen......)  Not sure why, just did - but that was yesterday and today is a new day!  I fo sho won't be cutting the fool during the week!

I also found my new guilty Friday night pleasure - there's a cajun resturant by my job, all their food is off the chain - I had oysters esplanade - it's an oyster and a popcorn size shrimp wrapped in bacon and deep fried...... yes - i know - ridiculous!!!!!  Comes with a butter dipping sauce, but I choose to cut back and just use regular ****tail sauce to save on calories......

anyway - got up this morning and did my kettlebell thing from the book I got this weekend - NICE!!!  I'll be doing cardio only in the gym tomorrow morning.  The kettlebell routine is MWF, so TTh will be cardio for me for this week.

Still struggling with water - about to get my azz up and get a glass right now!!!! 

  Sounds like a perfect snacking day, lol.  Please don't talk to me about good Cajun food.  OMG I love it and I love oysters especially fried or wrapped with bacon.  The shrimp is like the cherry on the sundae.

You will be swing'n those ketttle bells and working that cardio for real!  I'm just glad we know what we have to do when we want to indulge. 

I'm doing really good,  i'm still up in weight but i'm suppose to be this week so it's all good,  my eating is really great.   I have even cut down a lot on my snacking which is a miracle.

Summer is coming real fast,  i'm hoping I can be down a cloths size before it hits,  but I guess that would mean I would have to lose some weight.   Oh bother.......
