Accountibility

As I said in my first post that this blog is to help keep me accountable. Well, it is the first week and I already need a swift kick in the butt. Lets recap--

I did not complete the C25K workout Saturday as I said I was going to. Instead, we ordered pizza and Dan came home from the store with Lays BBQ potato chips and Pepsi. I said, ok but tomorrow IS the day of change.

Sunday came, I did well. I had my one cup of soda that I am allowing myself to have, I ate smaller portions and I was getting excited. I ventured out to do my workout and it was not easy at all. I ran 5 minutes of the 20 minute workout. Which really for someone who has not worked out in over a year and has two bum feet wasn't too bad. I walked the rest of the workout and then a little extra.

Monday, I was on a roll. I walked 2 miles on my lunch, ate well and was excited. Went home from work, stepped on the scale and gained 2 pounds since Saturday. We did however go for a little family walk. From now on I will stick to the 1 time a week weigh-in.

And then I fell off the train. Yesterday and today have been a hot mess. Here is where the accountability needs to come back to play. I think I need to also use this blog as my food journal so I see what I am doing to myself. Now, I am not trying to become a crazy junk-food Nazi and diet nut. No, I am more looking into portion control, better decisions (apple instead of chips, water instead of pop) that doesn't mean giving up what I love just consuming less. That coupled with exercise is the goal at hand here.
