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!

This is Meowee's place . . . Probably be doing much the same as before, but might modify a little bit. Back later to decide.

Last month was pretty good so I think I'll track the same stuff again including using the NOTE area to reflect my exercise efforts -- but probably just a simple or -- and, again, you may also still see this little gem -- meaning I had a disaster of a day -- I will be trying to keep my net calories between 1400 and 1500. Even though the change of scale made for a good weight loss in June, my average calories were a little higher than I would have liked them to be. Hopefully, July will be better.

Oh PHOOEY . . . won't be able to enter my averages this month . . . was setting up my record-keeping for August in Excel and managed to lose everything for July. So guess I'll just go and get organized in the August Accountability thread now.

And here is my blip chart for the four months ending June 30 . . . boy can you ever see where I switched scales.

Claiming my spot. Going by weekly weigh-in days, I lost 1.5 lbs last month, going by daily weights, I lost 1 lb. last month. Seems like I have a long ways to go but I hope to lose more in July. I did accomplish a lot in June as I had the dietiician consult and now have a real plan and plenty of incentive to stick to it!

Last weekly weight was 162.5 and last daily weight was 163.

7/1/08 162 terrible eating day!! I lost track but think about 2300 cals! 30 min. yoga stretch and 40 min cadio.
7/2/08 162 (I am SO grateful! ), 1183 cals (it was a stressful day and I'm proud of myself for not eating too much but I did go over a little on my carbs). No exercise.
7/3/08 161.5, 1754 - gd here and went out to eat. Thought I was doing ok, but I went over both on calories and carbs. No exercise.
7/4/08 162 - another tough day ahead as we head to the Ft for the community celebration. Lost track of calories but know it was bad. Walked about 9 blocks I'd say.
7/5/08 163.5 WEEKLY WEIGH-IN Here I go up again! Can't say I didn't expect it but it is still disappointing! BS up too of course. 1531 cals, walked a little in the mall but that's it.
7/6/08 163.5, 1837 another bad day! No exercise other than grocery shopping.
7/7/08 162.5, 1362, 30 min stretche & breath and 40 min aerobic classes.
7/8/08 162.5, very bad eating day..lost track of cals. 30 min yoga stretch and 40 min aerobic classes.
7/9/08 164! YIKES! GOT to do better today! 1191 cal. 30 min stretch and breath & 40 min cardio classes.
7/10/08 162, 2750!! I got carried away with chips tonight! No exercise.
7/11/08 `163.5 - why am I not surprised?! lost track of cals...sure I went way over again. 40 min cardio
7/12/08 163.5 WEEKLY WEIGH-IN, No change this week but at least didn't gain but I'm still ABOVE what I was at the beginning of month so disappointed. 1157 cal. no exercise unless you count climbing up to the attic.
7/13/08 163, 1357, no exercise other than grocery shopping.
7/14/08 165.5, did well with cals until after dinner then went wild! Having a really hard time sticking with diet. 30 min stretch and breath and 40 min cardio classes.
7/15/08 165.5 I have gone back to my old habits of eating too many snacks. Do well on meals all day then mess up in the evening. Ate out today and no exercise.
7/16/08 166.5 going from bad to worse! Really have to get my eating under control! Every day I say tomorrow will be better and it is until evening then But I am not giving up. Lost track of cals today but I did get 30 min stretch and breath and 40 min cardio classes. Amazingly my bs have been found but I know I can't go on this way.
7/17/08 165, 1353, 30 min yoga stretch and 40 min cardio. Was proud of myself today....a friend of my dh's brought over some scones (he's a professional baker) and I only ate 1/4 of one!
7/18/08 164, 1371, 40 min cardio. Did well as had some very hi cal, hi carb meals today but I limited myself (pat on own back!:-)
7/19/08 162.5 WEEKLY WEIGH-IN (down 1 lb from last week) but just back to what I was at the beginning of the month! 1370 cals, did well despite going to a potluck! No exercise.
7/20/08 162, Had to take out my calories cause tonight I ate more and didn't count! And here I've been doing so well!, well, hope to do better tomorrow. no exercise beyond cleaning out one side of the garage.
7/21/08 164.5, 2453! 30 min stretch & breathe and 40 min cardio classes.
7/22/08 164 ate out for lunch but think I did ok. 1599 (went over because I forgot about my afternoon snack!) no exercise beyond slow walking around a mall.
7/23/08 163.5 Didn't track calories and am sure I went way over!, 30 min. stretch and breathe and 40 min cardio classes.
7/24/08 164, did not track calories again today! Seems like I need a break from it, but will keep trying. 30 min yoga stretch and 40 min cardio classes.
7/25/08 164.5 climbing again, 1618, no exercise.
7/26/08 164.5WEEKLY WEIGH-IN So I GAINED 2 lbs this week! This month is not going nearly as well as I'd hoped. But I know that I spent almost 3 weeks eating way too much so I sure know the reason. I'm back on track now though so just hope I can be more consistent now. No exercise today but our 20 mo. old gs is with us so that's kinda like exercise. :-)
7/27/08 163.5 didn't get my calories tracked very well with the little guy here and today we are going to an International Festival so will be eating there. Will do the best I can.
7/28/08 164, 1611, no exercise except shopping.
7/29/08 163.5, 1748 (too high!) 30 min yoga stretch - my tummy was upset so didn't stay for cardio.
7/30/08 164.5, didn't track calories and had no exercise.
7/31/08 164, this has been a bad month for me! I am really trying to stick to my eating plan today and so far have done will but will see. Will post how I did later and look at my weight tomorrow to see how I have finished this month on a daily basis, but based on week weights, I gained 2 lbs this month!! Hope to do better next month. 1310, no exercise other than light housework.

I'm a bit late strarting for July but why not?

27/7Today I increased my calorie allowance to 1495 (from a strict 900) and it made me feel very insecure and out of control - very strange. I am finishing the day within the allowance but feel very tempted to reduce my allowance tomorrow because I just feel that I have eaten more than I need- despite the fact that on a bad day I could - and have -eaten 5 times as much. Not sure what to do.

28/7- ok I didn't like the increase on the scales caused by my higher intake so I have cut it back a bit - not all the way though. Stuck to the plan yesterday which is the main thing. Wish I could exercise more regularly though. No time today as off to work in 10 mins and won't be home till bedtime.
