ACCOUNTABILITY : the quality or state of being accountable; especially : an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions.
There are a lot of area's in my life that I hold myself accountable for but exercising and always eating right are not one of them. I get on track and fall off as soon as a party or event occurs which for me is quite often. I love planning and attending parties, showers, girls nights, family meals, etc. I promise myself going in that I'm not going to eat or snack because those who have faced a significant weight loss know that snacking is your worst enemy.
I started off 2012 right. I was eating healthy and then added in exercise and then life got busy. I'm still gettin in 30 minutes increments of walking/running at least 3 days a week but that's not enough. At this point in my plan I should be up to at least an hour 4 days a week but there's always a reason (sometimes good one's) as to why I can't do it today or yesterday or 2 days from now. Right now I'm having a hard time motivating myself because my knee's for some reason started literally killing me Saturday. I went to stand up Saturday night and felt like somebody had taken a knife to them and know if I sit for more than 15-20 minutes at a time they do the same thing. I feel like I'm walking stiff legged for a good 5 minutes after. I think my legs are also telling me to get moving.
In an unrealistic world I would have someone that sat on my shoulder and said don't eat that but we unfortunately live in a very realistic life and that means I'm getting ready to become my worst enemy. I'm not only going to start entering every ounce of food that goes in my mouth but I'm going to be writing it down too. I've covered the mirror in my closet with pictures of myself that make me want to gag (literally!). I'm determined to do this. I'm determined to complete the half marathon on April 28th even if I have to speed walk the race. Every Monday I will be posting my progress. Will I every post my weight? Absolutely NOT! Will I post how much I've lost? Definitely! I may even be brave enought to post what I ate the week prior and maybe a weekly picture (fully clothed of course, no swimsuits or spandex for this girl) so my progress can be picked apart. I say that jokingly of course. Please be nice to me!
I'll leave you with this picture that I took with two of my siblings last Monday night, hopefully next Monday may face will be a smidgen less puffy looking :)!
