HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY MONDAY

Accountability Mission: No Mercy and No Excuses  

Tell the whole truth and be accountable.  How did you fare this weekend?  Did these two days make or break you or are you holding steady and consistant.  Is your planned weekly calorie and exercise load working for you? 

We all know the rules.  Lets see if we can work them consistantly.  We all know there is a holiday weekend approaching.  Lets prepare ourselves for events that may mean increased calories or temptation to stray.  

For some of us this my never be second nature.  Be vigilant regardless of what stage you are in.  Remain comitted to yourself.

Having run the numbers I'm off in the area of calorie cutting because of my mid week madness.  For awhile I was doing well but Saturday in particular I fell back into the low cal grazing. 

This is the major reason I set out on this 21 day plan.  Its also why I made sure it included the period where the steroid crazies peaked.  This year marks the first time in nine years I've had difficulty resisting the persistant hunger.  Its like being smaller is mental permission to eat outside of my normal schedule.  I can't let that happen.  There is always an excuse to stray.

I made my targets yesterday except that my calories were at maintenance instead of well below and I had a tablespoon of peanut butter outside of plan.  For me this is at risk behavior. 

I'm not where I want to be but I'm still working on it. 

I haven't held myself accountable since July 1st.   I need to start getting back on it.   Thank God, I have only gain 2 pounds.   So, working on getting that off this week. 

So, I started dating and  that doesn' t help.  Since for some reason, Men want to feed me and get me drunk.   I will never get drunk enough, where I lose control of me.   But the calories do not help, with getting to my goal.   I only have 25 pounds to go.  

So, I plan to work out at least 4 days out of this week and watch my calories.  Hopefully all goes well.

C'mon, you are so close.  Get back in the game.  I'm working it too cause although calories are fine habits are slipping.  We can both get our acts together. 

Men find me odd because I only order bottled water, lol.  I hear you on the feedings.  I find an appetizer and side salad as an entre is best.  Of course that won't work for fine dining but I've learned to mentally divide my portions and I've always been good at resisting more than a bite of desert. 

I am totally fat again. I swear I think I may have gained that entire twenty pounds back and that is sad. I will not be getting my big ass on a scale though because I don't want to face the truth.

Becca and I have both made a vow tonight that we are going to clean up our eating starting intrye morning, so I will be fat smashing once again.


Please lord let me be strong.

Noooooo!  How do your clothes fit?  It might not be as bad as you think. 

Glad you are getting back on track.  You work out so hard that giving it up for a few weeks will make a difference.  Fortunately you have something that works this time around.
