HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY THURSDAY
We're over the hump day. How have you treated yourself this week? Tell the whole truth and be accountable. Do you have a plan? Is that plan working out?
One of the many things I learned from vets is to always always always have a plan. No need to make it a major production. Simply have an understanding of how you will approach your day so you are on program for each aspect of that program. For some of us a plan needs more details while for others far less. What do you need for success?
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
From the 7th to the 27th, its the second cycle of my effort to:
- Rid myself of unproductive behaviors; and
- Reinforce behaviors that support life long maintenance
Today is day two.
At more than 2 1/2 yearws post op I've begun to slip here and there wher the rules are concerrned. When something is loose you fix it right away before it breaks. These are recent behaviors, just since the summer. A concerted effort to live the wls life as I should will set things right before I'm here crying about weight gain. I've got enough issues. Screwing myself is totally avoidable if I choose not to go there.
That being said, on day one I continued to progress. There were times yesterday when I did not want to eat n schedule but I did it anyway simply because it is what needed to be done. The day was a good one with carbs 100g or less and protein 100g or more. its been awhile since i hit both goals. everything else remains on point. i'm going to do a repeat of this today.
I successfully exercised. Carbs still too high. Protein good and calories not too bad. Did find that I've been a little slack on my water which is not normal. It will come together.
Wishing u a repeat of this day and wishing me a lower carb day.
