Confession: I had a cheat day yesterday, but I am back on track today and ready to go strong to reach my goals this week. What about you?

For those of you who want to participate in the accountability questions, challenge yourself to answer the following 3 questions at the end of every day --

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?

Please continue to post even if your answer is no, but use this thread as motivation to get to more yesses. Since the challenge has officially started, at the end of the week I will give a shout-out to those who posted every day and to those who were able to say YES to all the questions every day.

Here's to a great week!! (*) (*)

    Did I track everything I ate and drank? Yes
    Was I under my calorie limit? Yes.
    Was I active at least 20 minutes? Yes. (I read a book and watched tv while walking briskly on the treadmill for an hour and 25 minutes.)

    It always helps when I manage to force myself to get on the treadmill.

    Jan 11th was a Yes, No (damn puddings!), No

    Today should be better however. Back at work where I tend to eat less anyway, plus badminton this evening.

    Enjoy the day! :)

    Great idea!

    Did you track absolutely everything you ate and drank today? Yes.
    Did you stay under your calorie limit? Yes.
    Were you active for at least 20 minutes? Sadly, no, unless walking around the office at work counts (it does not). And I had so hoped to take advantage of the newly balmy weather (as 30 F seemed, after the prior few days)! No excuses, I could have managed to fit something in with better planning.

    Today was alright even though I didn't meet all my goals.
    1. I didn't log everything, I never log my water. I need to get better at that.
    2. I was over by 2 calories today.
    3. I was active for about 45 minutes today. 32 minutes of intervals on the stationary bike and then about 15 minutes of weights.

    No - tough day, went slightly over but made a better choice about what I was eating. Big change - said no to a lot of bad foods yesterday in the midst of mental and emotional exhaustion on various levels.
    No - recovering from Sundays workout! AHHH LOL back on track today
