HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY THURSDAY
Accountability Mission: No Mercy and No Excuses
Tell the whole truth and be accountable.
How well did you eat yesterday? How dedicated were you to finding the support you needed yesterday? How much exercise did you get in addition to your normal routine?
Did you have a meal plan at any level and did you follow through? Did you examine your needs and see that they were filled? Did you do any form of dedicated xercise at all? Did you do soething for youself that you really needed even if you did not want it?
So many of our issues be it physical, spiritual, or emotional come from not facing needs head? It is not just a food consideration. This happens in all areas of life and for some of us manifests itself in food. Ask for what you need as you need it and before you hit bottom. If support is not in one place it will be found elsewhere.
Do not forget to do something good for you today. What depends on how you feel and what you need. You will thank yourself.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.

on 1/19/12 2:13 am
I did really good yesterday and i'm feeling strong today. I had egg beaters for breakfast and a pear and some blue berries.
The Osteo did it's job yesterday and my knees are feeling good so i'll be at the gym at 2:30 for my 30 min run and workout.
I also went to Walmart and got a pair of danskin exercise pants so now I have a complete set of workout clothes for a week and don't have to worry about forgetting to wash a pair. I don't want to stink up the gym like that man the other day.
Last night for my second snack I had a bite size, not fun size, the smaller bite size baby ruth, and a fun size m&m's which had 5 in the tiny little pack. It was less than within my snack calorie count and like Becca said you can't go from eating 8 packs a day to 0 packs without losing your mind. So I make sure that one of my snack is something I like and the other is protein. I also bought a pack of popsicles which are 60 calories each.
Dear Lord, help me through this day, not tomorrow, just help me be strong THIS day. Amen.

ButtholeBush and his oil cartel have saved me from suicide. I need to drive into Jacksonville for a respectable bridge to jump off and the gas will deplete my meager estate.
150.2 lbs is 0.3 above my major depression mark and 10.4 above where my self respect lies and 15.2 above where I need to be. Hitting three years out and still not stable is depressing. By the numbers I should be down just over 0.75 but instead I'm up a pound.
Still, I am doing what I should be going. Yesterday the workout was on point and done with effort for an 870 cal burn. Net carbs are holding nicely below 20g but I need to get the protein up. Its still high fat ketogenic at over 50%. Sadly, were it not, the weight gain may likely have been worse.
I'm on bodybuilding.com today reading up on fast loss with muscle retention. I am going to make the 130's happen regardless of what these doc's say. I'm getting my normal bmi back.

"They" say I "can't" hit ideal weight because of my metabolism. I never blamed metabolism for my weight but where the fkcu where they when I was obese damnit? I had to wear single digits before getting diagnosed post op. It took 25 years to get my thyroid treated and now I have to live with the long term damage. The real problem is "they" don't know how to fix me. I will win.
I agree, u will win. Who better to fix u than u. Wish u the best. Since u and Lee got back on track I had a slight relapse today. Decided I wanted fried rice so I got a small combination. It did a number on my carbs along with the protein bar but calories did not get buck wild. Tomorrow back on track.
