Accountability Time

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” - Larry Elder

Last week:  Weight:  140.  Body fat:  27.5%.  BMI:  22.6.  
This week;  Weight 140.  Body fat 29% (UM - WRONG DIRECTION)  BMI: 22.6

Goals were:
Video every day. Done.

Walking 3 miles with family at least 4 days.  Only got in 3 walks.

Log food.  Failed miserably.

No more than 3 alcoholic beverages this week.  None at all.
Get healthier recipes.  Got some.  Now need to put in Yummy Good Stuff Blog.
Lose 1.5 pounds.  Nope.  I need to get a new digital scale.  Mine stopped working so I will do that today so I can get a good reading.

Okay.  Things I am doing well:  I did get my video in every day.  That's a good thing.  Is it enough?  Apparently not.  I do feel stronger and lighter but I need to do more.  No beers or wine definitely helps with working out.

Things I'm sucking at.  Not logging my food.  I'm obviously eating way too much.  I can't keep a running total in my head anymore.  To say that I'm aggravated at myself would be a severe understatement.  To say taht I'm embarrassed and frustrated would also be and even more severe understatement. 

Logging food really does help and I haven't done it.  ARG!!!!  I have gotten back into that bad habit of just passing by the pantry and grabbing some pretzels or crackers just because.  Now I'll admit that this week was a little stressful and I was out of my routine.  But I shouldn't even try to use that as an excuse.  What I feel should have absolutely nothing to do with what I eat.

So, here are the goals for this week:

Video PLUS 20 minutes cardio
4 walks of 3 + miles
Logging food
Only 2 alcoholic beverages if any at all
Lose 2 pounds

I think the quote of the day needs to be repeated.  “A goal without a plan is just a wish.”  So, I think for logging food, I need to log all the food I plan to eat at the beginning of the day. Then no calories sneak up on me.  I plan to keep daily calories between 1100 and 1400.  


This reality check was really needed.  Now time to fix the stuff that I continue to screw up!!!   RING RING  Here's my wake up call!  This just goes to show I can't just continue to give my health and weight attention every once in a while.  I can't completely dedicate myself one day and be lazy and gluttonous the next.


To my readers, I apologize for letting us down.
