~.~Accountability~.~ for those of us really struggling

If you have read my posts you will see that I have been having a REALLY hard time doing anything regarding weight loss. The fact is I realize...okay I think i realized it before, but am ready to admit that I was sabatoging myself on purpose. I was not even TRYING to loose weight.

So here is my idea. I need some accountability. If enough people are interested we can start this thread by coming on here and posting one or two goals for your day. Something that you can accomplish within on day. Then at the end of the day come back and report if you have succeeded and cheer on the ones who have and be here for the ones who didn't.

MY GOALS FOR TODAY:

1. I will drink 8 bottles of Water today.

2. Clean out my closet (not weight related but a goal for the day nonetheless)

Ha Ha, I broke away from the non-smoking old ogre! I did an awesome power walk to the park with the mutts, Kare's exercise CD pushing me harder, then home for 100 situps, a few pushups and some weights, then water & a movie! Rock n' roll, people! Oh, and I got that huge package off to Switzerland. Not a bad day's work.

Accountability - Yes plz. Can someone come here and get rid of this chocolate. Chocolate bars, choc icecream, choc biscuits...its that time of the month and I crave it sooo bad. As for exercise, my body shows too well I havent exercised enough while losing this weight. I will start to exercise, its 1am her enow so tomorrow bring it on.

Yesterday's goals

Today's goals

1) face the music - weight gain - when I see the surgeon and nutritionist today - done - no weight gain - hold even

2) 40 minutes on the treadmill - done plus 15 minute walk w/ steps

3) pick out medicine cabinet, toilet topper, blind, towel racks, floor tile, counter top for bathroom (this may take 2 days) - medicine cabinet, toilet topper, blind done

4) not eat after 8 - got home at 7:30, started eating, and went to sleep before I finished so I guess that counts (I have to start getting sleep at night)

5) remember to relax and unwind - no

Wednesday goal

1) pick out floor tile and counter top for bathroom

2) no eating after 8 and stay awake until 11

3) 70 minues of exercise

4) try on clothes for vacation ---yikes, I'm going to Mexico for 12 days and I have nothing that fits,,,what if my capris fall off when I"m on the top of a ruin...so lets add that I need to buy what I need!!!

I love this thread. It makes me accountable for my daily goals...

Wednesday:

1. Cook hubby & I a good healthy Breakfast.

2. Get Laundry done.

3. Get another fill & check up with Dr. Reynolds.

4. 20 minutes on tread mill & 10 on bike or if it is warm enough take a 30 min long brisk walk outside.

You go ladies! I am done tomorrow. I did not put my menu on todays "I wills" because I knew I would be going out with friends and would not make good choices. I did not make good choices for dinner but I did not break my "I wills" NEXT TIME I will make it a goal no matter where or who i'm with. I felt horrible eating the hamburger and onion rings. I WILL MAKE GOOD CHOICES WHEN I EAT EVEN IF I EAT WITH FRIENDS
