HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY MONDAY
Tell the whole truth and be accountable. How often do you allow ingratitude to interfere with your goals for good health. Has ingratitude lead you to take liberties that serve no productive purpose?
I expect you may be waiting for ingratitude to be defined for you. Well, how it applies to wls or even non surgical wl will vary by individual. The broadest definition would be repeatedly expressing behaviors that if allowed to persist would result in the opposit of your good health goals.
- For example, you loose relatively easily so you frequently stray from plan with the knowledge that you can re loose the added fat again after you've had your fun.
- For example, loosing is more difficult for you than for most others so you stray figuring if things are not going your way anyhow then no harm no foul.
- For example you decide exercise won't speed weight loss so you'll just skip it unless you must for the scale to move.
We have been blessed with a multitude of gifts which may include surgical tools, information, guidance and support, second, third, fourth chances etc, and the ability to reason. The last in this short list is how each of us can define ingratitude for ourselves. Think about your past month or so. You know your answer.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Sunday
Fat(g) | Carbs(g) | Fiber(g) | Net C(g) | Prot(g) | KCals |
43.61 | 24.67 | 7.6 | 17.08 | 107.66 | 937 |
It was a very respectable day. Calories a little on the low side but I'm back to cutting after two days at maintenance levels so its all good. What's most important is that I followed all of the rules to the letter. After doing well for a minute, I lost my humility and fell flat on my face; but, I pulled it together after some hours.
I won't dare say I'm back. I was never there to begin with. It is progress not perfection.
Round two, 7th to 27th. My goal:
- Rid myself of unproductive behaviors; and
- Reinforce behaviors that support life long maintenance
I'm going to approach this with an attitude of gratitude.

I just finished 4 of the Beyonce Move your Body videos, and a bunch of Dance Centra dances. I am sweating like a freaking pig, my knees are sweating and creaking. I have gotten so out of shape.
I get the exercise bug so fast, I told myself I was not going to do more than a half hour because I know my knees will be killing me and I literally had to make myself stop at a half hour. So at least I know that even though I haven't really worked out for a while I still have my zeal. I just have to ease back into it or I will be doing these workouts for hours and be in horrible pain just because they are fun.
I will probably do it again tonight after my class. Oh I am going to wear jeans tonight because those dam suckers are tight as hell again, DAMIT after all that work and eating well. DAMIT.
Go on and work it girl just choos the workouts that on't cripple you. Don't make me call you "Cripple Pickle". Show those knees some luv.
Working on journaling todays intake, not lookn good .
With I will succeed.
