HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY MONDAY
Accountability Mission: No Mercy and No Excuses
If you begin your week on a Monday, its time to start anew. Regardless of what day you consider to be the start of the week, you can always shake off what has not turned out as expected and start clean. Tell the whole truth and be accountable. Are you able to sstart fresh as often as needed be it within the same week day or hour? Do you lament over mistakes allowing yourself to fall even further away from your objectives?
Waiting for Monday to set yourself straight reeks of the "I'll start my diet tomorrow" school of thought that landed so many of us here in the first place. Do you really want to hold on to the old detrimental thought patterns?
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Sunday
Not a bad day not a good day. I managed to fall face first into a late snack but in the end I held it under 1200 for the day. Carbs good at 82g, protein excellent at 128g, calories doing fine 1143.
The farther out I am the harder it gets to keep the calories low without going too low. Sometimes 'nothing' is far easier than just 'some' when 'all' is not an option. I'm still working on correcting this all or nothing way of thinking.
