Accountable

So, I signed up for the Biggest Loser Club (BLC) online to help spur me into eating better and losing weight. I also made a weekly date after work with a walking buddy each Thursday. And while the walks have been awesome, the eating and holding my self accountable have not. I have not been recording my meals the way I should- meaning about only 25%.

I am trying to eat better, but I am taking the meals on the fly, meaning no planning ahead. This does not work for me. I think I have to plan out what I eat at least for 2 meals a day to make sure that I am eating healthier.

Since we have moved to the new building I am getting breakfast daily in the cafe and seems like lunch 3 days/week. Morning rut has become 2 eggs scrambled, bacon and a bagel. Not the best choice. Unfortunatley the thought of daily oatmeal does not appeal in the least.

The BLC provides a menu daily that you can edit or make your own meals. I am going to take a better look to see if these menus are something that actually appeals.

On the walking front, I am meeting my walking partner every thursday and we have been averaging btwn 2-3.3 miles each week. While that is a phenominal walk for the very sedentary me, I want to be more active, because I feel better already even with that little exercise.

I am taking a moment here to write that I am going to start holding myself more accountable starting NOW. Am still in the planning stages on how to accomplish it.
