Accountability

I read a post that asked if there was a place for accountability. I just started one. I am going to come on here daily and hold myself accountable to all of you. I think it is a great idea for us trying to lose weight to be accountable to someone. So I am going to start!

Today I am going to be mindful of everything that goes into my mouth. I am going to keep my carbs very low and avoid sugar.

What are you going to do?

I am working hard to eliminate soda from my diet. I have only slipped once this year (all 7 days of it!) when I ordered a root beer with a snack.

This is my current accountability!

I want to continue to monitor/track my daily calories, be sure to squeeze in exercise every day even if it's just a small amount... a little bit can sometimes motivate more. I'd like to look forward to my weigh-in day, my ultimate accountability, with joyful anticipation (why not, right?) The alternative would be the drudgery of having to weigh after not being the best I could have been, as accountable as I could have been.

Thank you for this post and generating some wonderfully motivating thoughts. My friends, let's cheer each other on to have that extra glass of water, refuse the unhealthy foods and snacks and choose those things that are deserving of our thoughtful goals for more rewarding tomorrows. Yes, we can do this and together, there's no stopping us.

I'm so glad you started this post,when I joined I ask about accountability, the thing that works for me. When you see it in print and know that others are seeing it also, it sure makes you think twice about your health and diet. For me it's good to account for my good moves as well as my 'goofs' for the day. I plan to watch the carbs and portion control and some exercise at least 4 times a week.

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
