Did you track absolutely everything you ate and drank today? Yes.
Did you stay under your calorie limit? So far.
Were you active for at least 20 minutes? Not yet. Hubby is building my bookshelf. Going to do an hour of new videos on Youtube. Trying out ones that I may like too keep me motivated and having fun while working out.0 -

Okay, here are the accountability questions again:
Jan. 3, 2015
Did you track absolutely everything you ate and drank today?
Did you stay under your calorie limit?
Were you active for at least 20 minutes?
YES, I tracked and stayed under my limit. I know that this is really helping me because I am watching my portion sizes much more closely, and I'm sure that bigger-than-I-realize portions are a culprit in me not losing weight when I get lazy and don't track.
YES, I exercised today. 40 minutes on the exercise bike + 10 minutes lifting weights = enough extra calories to have a little treat at the end of the day.
Good luck, everyone!
BTW, if several people are interested in continuing the accountability questions, I can make either a new thread every week or a new thread every day. This is a little different than the regular thread b/c I am challenging people to post at the end of the day about what you really did, rather than about goals. For me, this is huge motivator b/c if I don't post until the next morning, it's easier to say "Oh, well, tomorrow's a new day," than if I have to post about not meeting my goals that night.
What are your thoughts? Would you like a weekly thread to stay on track with answering the questions about the end of each day? Or a daily one?
I think a daily thread will be helpful.0 -

Feel free to add this discussion to the daily threads that already get started every day.
Not that you have to, but it will keep us from having two daily threads.0 -

Most people post if they hit their goals the day before, then post their new goals for the day.
I think the daily threads will meet the needs of this thread.

Did you track absolutely everything you ate and drank today?
Yes. I stayed under calorie goal and drank 12 cups of water.
Were you active for at least 20 minutes?
I don't know if it counts, but I did walk over 30 minutes in the store. I can't walk that long with out holding a shopping cart. I really hope this gets better as I lose more weight.0 -
Nice job, everyone!! So as to not clutter up the board too much, but still keep a place for people who want to encourage each other with these specific accountability questions, I will create a weekly thread. You can look for the first one and post there if you are interested.
