Accountability - Day 1
So, I’m going to start keeping a daily food log here. This will do several things for me. First, I’ve decided that I need more day-to-day accountability. If I know that I’ll have to tell someone I screwed up, I’ll be much less likely to do it. Plus, I’ve been seeking a more concrete method of tracking my progress. I figure if I can flip back through 50+ posts of making myself a priority, I can feel pretty good about where I’m headed. Not to mention, I get the feeling that there will be few days where all I post is my food log. Writing is what I do. It’s my geeky love and my funky little compulsion. Sitting down to post every day will give me one more excuse to play narcissist with a keyboard.
But on to the meat of the matter: yesterday’s food log. *Ba-dum-bum*
B: Protein Shake
S: Protein Mini Bar
L: Protein Meal Bar
S: Protein Drink & 1 Rice Cake
D: Chicken, Rice, 1/2 Pear, Lots of Veggies
S: Smart Pop Mini Bag
Liquid: 1 1/2 Gallons (and still thirsty!?)
Workout: 30min. Power Shred
I’m feeling pretty good at the moment. To make sure I don’t wreck things with my favorite holiday, I’ve concocted… a plan! I’m going to eat regularly all day (doing well so far) and then have a planned indulgence at tonight’s party. Controlled cheating rather than an all-day gorge fest; who knew? My planned treats are one high-end chocolate bar (instead of tons of cheap junk) and one or two of my favorite drinks.
We’ll see tomorrow how the plan held up. I’ll be making sure all of you stick to your guns as well!
