Week 11 - Confession is Good for the Soul

This is going to hurt. But I'm gonna do it. I'm going to be accountable for what I did this weekend. This way if I have a very small loss or a large gain next Saturday I'll know exactly why.

Going over my food intake and my points for the weekend actually helped me. Huh. It has made me realize that maybe this week will be salvageable so long as I get my activity points in for the week. Wow. That has actually motivated me to get out and move. Unfortunately the weather forecast for the week is wet wet wet with the exception of Thursday (for now). Aerobics restarts tonight and not a week too late. That'll earn me 7 points tonight a good starting point. I promise myself to do yoga today during James's afternoon nap and my Biggest Loser dvd the rest of the week. Out for a walk Thursday (whatdoyousay buddy, I'll e-mail you!). Oh and drink the equivalent of Lake Erie in water.

I will not let one bad weekend discourage me. See? This is why I'm keeping a blog. It is really really helping me. Normally I wouldn't have bothered with figuring out my points and would just assume the week was lost and make matters worse than I thought. Maybe that is the meaning of being accountable. I will turn this around. Wish me good luck...I'm going to need it.
