Daily Accountability - June
 

http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...untability.jpg
Accountability: Actions that reflect the integrity of the person you want to be.

This is our new Age 50+ NON-Challenge thread.

This is NOT a Challenge - it is a place for us to record our daily behaviors (behaviours) toward being personally responsible for our EFFORTS.

NOTE: we cannot control our OUTCOMES - weight - however, we can control our EFFORTS - daily actions aimed at losing/maintaining weight.

If you want to give this thread a try, just post 1 message on this thread. Each day during the month, the Age 50+ ladies are invited to add to their original message (using the "edit" button) by updating information about actions they have taken toward meeting their goal of losing/maintaining weight.

There is no 1 format - feel free to be creative. If you miss days/weeks - NO problem - just stop back when you can. The winners on this thread are all of us who continue to work toward being accountable for our actions!

Okay . . . here's my spot again . . . will reconstruct the past 6 days sometime tomorrow . . . too many other rush, rush things to do right now. Thanks for getting it started again Lynn. :hug:

Okay . . . here we go again . . . Last month was pretty good to me again so I think I'll basically track the same stuff again except I'm going to change the NOTE area to reflect my exercise efforts -- for example, WALK, or GAZL, or WIIF, or WGTS, or something along those lines -- of course, you may also still see this little charmer -- :o -- in case I have a meltdown of my own (and June 4 was one of those).

Looks like my posts were lost but that's ok...they weren't that great anyway. ;)

You guys are doing well...I'm not doing well at all. I was up 1 1/2 lbs this week! So back up to 165.5. We've company and I've had a lot of pain for several days now. Made it difficult since our 18 month old gs was here...I had a hard time but it was worth it to see him and I still enjoyed him. I have not been counting calories, and have eaten out and not been very good at all. To top it all off, I have an appointment on Monday with a diabetic nutritionist and she will tell me how many carbs and calories I should eat I mainly want to know about the carbs...I actually know the other stuff but have kinda been guessing at the number of diabetic carbs. The problem is not that I don't know how to eat...it is that I just often eat too much! I am now tracking my food to show her 3 days worth. I am being totally honest so maybe she will yell at me enough to make me decided to change once and for all.:o Because of these classes and a lot of other things going on I doubt I'll get to the gym for another week.

6/7/08 165.5 lbs. WEEKLY WEIGH-IN, no exercise, est 1500 cal
6/8/08 164, no exercise, est 1800 cal
6/9/08 165, no exercise, hoping to start back to gym tomorrow. Diabetic consult was today but I have to wait for a day or two to get the report on how many carbs I can have a day etc., but sounded like what I have been thinking is about right. Of course since I know I'll starting the plan soon, I had way too many snacks (mostly frappinos I make 140 cals, 1.66 diabetic carbs each). Sometimes I'm such an idiot!!

Hi.

I guess my post got lost also. . . The posting has made me look at what I eat more closely, and how much I do or do not exercise, so start again - I will try to reconstruct what is important. . . What I think will help me is to track exercise and any food no-nos which are refined or heavy carbs and eating too much. Also I used to be religious bout taking my supplements, but I have really gotten off of that. Need to track that also.
