Being Accountable

 

This picture was taken yesterday while preparing dinner.

I ate myself into gaining 10 pounds in the past month.  I have still exercised like crazy (1-2 hours 5 days a week) but I let my eating get more relaxed and boy did my body hold onto every ounce of fat and gram of sugar I consumed.  I didn’t eat more than 2000 calories a day except on the 3 main holidays so I shouldn't have gained that much but oh well, that’s what the scale says.  So today the scale read 186 lbs.  That is better than the 189 lbs I saw last Friday.  I am back on track and my goal is to see 176 lbs by February 1st.  Really I’d like to see it in a week but that would be a little crazy!

So here is my being accountable:
