HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY TIME
ACCOUNTABILITY MISSION: NO MERCY AND NO EXCUSES
Forgive me for the "threepeat" but I'm a bit short on time and motivation lately. I'll do better next posting. For now its time for you to TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH AND BE ACCOUNTABLE:
WIN!
You are a loser over the past week
LOOSE!
You are a gainer over the past week
DRAW!
No loss no gain over the past week. Is it a frustrating normal slow down in your wl? Or, perhaps its an infuriating stall? Or, is this maintaining and holding steady, no problem? Or, have you made a clusterfkcu of it all and got lucky with a draw? If the last supposition is you, take a step back to the loose category.
GRADE YOURSELF FOR THE WEEK:
A - excellent
B - good
C - fair
D - poor
F - fail
Exercise: What are you doing? Are you really putting your best effort into dedicated fitness related activities? Do you do all that you can to be active outside of your required daily routine?
Diet: Yes I use the dreaded "d" word. All it really means is your nutrition plan. We all have a dietary way of living be it consistent or hit/ miss. Does your dietary behavior reflect your goals?
YOU CAN LIE TO YOURSELF BUT IT WILL NOT FOOL EVEN YOU. What are you eating? How are you exercising? What is working? What needs correcting? How are you objectively measuring your progress?
TELL IT STRAIGHT PEOPLE. That is, be straight with YOU; no one else really matters on this mission. ACCOUNTABILITY is personal and solitary where beating down obesity is concerned.
Make this week a good one. Think about what went well and what was not so nice recently. Consider what works for you and what is counter productive. Make a plan. Work your program.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
I'm trying to get my head back in the game. For around 48 hours I ate like the fat girl I am inside. Not enough for weight gain to be an issue but not as it should be by a long shot. On the outside, still relatively thin. For this marking period I withdraw and take an incomplete (translation: complete failure).
When you fall get your @$$ right back up. For th 99th time I'm going for Atkins induction 2012. This used to be easy for me but lately I've been struggling with the 20g net carbs. Leafy green veg only.
Working for slim, lean, strong, healthy means living it not just thinking it. The head issues will be my challenge this week.

Yestrday did good. Numbers right where I want them.
Today however I fkcu'd up real early. I'll be spending the day trying to recover from last night's insomnia fueled nibbling.. No such thing as low carb/ low cal raisins damn me. Gotta fix this thing. The day isn't lost unless I allow it to be.
