I have been so fortunate to have such great friends (like you guys) to help me through this process of getting fit and in a healthy condition.. I am very close to hitting my goal and getting to a level of maintenance.
Accountability is a stepping stone to success! We know this and recognize this most easily as HOMEWORK! If you do your homework the test is cake! Right? lol
The same thing goes for working out and eating well.
One of the most amazing things about successful people and systems is that they use two sorts of accountability.
Overeaters Annonymous uses:Sponsers and Journals
Entreprneurs use: Networking with like minded goal oreitned people, and journaling
Discussing your intake and work out here or with your spouse, friends, co workers, whomeever.. makes you accountable. Tell us/them what you WILL do, and what you DID do.
Journaling: keeps you accountable to yourself and gives you a positive outlet to be honest with yourself and remain focused on your goals, or to change those goals a bit.
Through this journey (or hike to the summit) I have met amazing people and helpful friends, and have learned so much and have had a chance to funnel information from them.
I've met a women who lost over 200lbs ( no surgery), Ironman (women and men), dietary specialists, sports nutritionists (thank goodness), ultra runners (they are insane), aqua nerds, olympic qualifying wrestlers, and sick cyclists.
Oh and they all drink beer like ... its Octoberfest!
Most importantly they are succuess driven and they all, all have a (or multiple) point(s) of accountability...So there has got to be something to it... right?
Oh and the beer..gotta drink beer.
Honestly!
I live everyday with the hope that I will not regret it. I am a pervert of hope, I may "know" that my will can not produce every result I hope for, but I do it anyway
