Accountability Mission: No Mercy and No Excuses
Tell the whole truth and be accountable. Have you counted your blessings this week? Have you asked yourself if ingratitude has interfered with your goals for good health? Have you been ungrateful enough to take liberties with your plan? Liberties that can serve no productive purpose?
While it will vary by individual, a broad definition of ingratitude would be repeatedly expressing behaviors that if allowed to persist would result in the opposit of your health goals. The opposit leads us right back where we started.
Keep moving forward folks. Be greatful for this opportunty. Don't waste it. Have no regrets.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

My back has been pretty bad for the past 4 days and it feels like it is finally trying to get better which I am happy about because I am going to kick up the exercise even more. :)
I have one more snack for the night, it will be 2 dove sugar free candies and a cup of coffee. I can't wait. LOL>
How yall do today?
I have had a mixed few days in my commitment to:
- Rid myself of unproductive behaviors; and
- Reinforce behaviors that support life long maintenance
I'm nearing conclusion of round two, 7th to 27th.
This was never about food. This was never about exercise. My focus is on ensuring I conform to those wls basics we all learned at the start. As we get further out, often times we find ourselves adopting routines that better fit our lifestyles. However, over the long term it is not the best course of action.
This is what was happening with me. However, these are recent developments so it did not take much to get back to basics. Six weeks to be exact once I conclude this second round. Where habits are concerned I am there. I'm not speaking of perfection, simply being mindful of the rules and consistently striving to do the right thing throughout my day.
So why do I say the past few days were mixed? I say this because my food choices were poor. Its not even close to habit. It was a matter of convenience and a taste for what was easy. The result was not meeting my needs for extra protein and going way over the carbs.
As always, calories will even themselves out. The issue is I could have made a better effort to eat well. Occaisional junk meals are no big deal. However, it should not be a junk day; or three junk days; or the junk meal every day. There has been too much junk this week.
I stuck with the basic rules but I skipped the other stuff that's good for me. Its not hard to get the calories right and even keep the protein high while relying on junk food for sustenance. On the crazy days I need to ensure that I go out of my way to stick with good nutrition.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
on 9/25/11 2:30 am
We realized it and started saying i'm tired of eating like this because my pants won't fit. So five days ago we said let's stop this craziness before we are so dam fat we are back where we came from. So that is what we did, laid down the junk and picked up the vegetabes, fruits, lean, meats, whole grains and on and on........
Yes I decided to go back to Fat Smash because it works for me when nothing else will. I need another miracle like I had the first time I did this and I know if I stick to it I can have that miracle again. So here I go on day 5 smashing the fat trying to ungain what my fat ass regained. I'm so sick of this win lose game.
Hi Ladies, Not too bad this Saturday. Met with old friends that I had not seen in about 10 plus years so that was a boost to eat right. The obvious weight loss was complimented so all went well. The morning was busy and rainy so decaffinated coffee took the place of water. Here's what I ate.
I didn't appreciate the restriction I had until losing it all. My mind is the only thing keeping me at bay and when it takes a leave of absence..... well u know what happens.
