Okay, so it's Monday and I had a lot of pizza yesterday. I need some accountabilibuddies.

This week I will...
- limit my processed sugar consumption to 2 squares of dark chocolate at night
- limit my flour consumption to no more than 1 serving per day
- limit my dairy consumption, hopefully none at all (I should mention I don't count eggs as dairy)
- go for a power walk every morning
- get to sleep by 11pm
- drink 2L of water

My diary is public, please feel free to add me as a friend, look the my diary and call me out or support me when possible!
I should mention that I wear a Jawbone UP fitness tracker, which means I don't log exercise into MFP, I log it into the UP app and the two are linked. The UP app then adjusts my calorie goal depending on the daily activity. That's is what the UP adjustment is under my exercise.

Anyone else have a "this week I will" they would like to share?

    This is a great idea!

    This week I will:

    -make it to the gym or spin class at least 3x
    -track every single item whether I want to see it or not
    -drink a minimum of two of my large water bottles a day
    -only get Tim Horton's coffee once a day (less than that would be better)

    Seeing as I am off this entire week due to being a teacher and getting the whole week off for Thanksgiving, my goals are:

    This week I will:

    Do some type of workout each day and not just sit on my rear.
    Not overeat since I am at home all day.
    Not spend my whole week off working on lesson plans (although this one may be hard because teachers just don't know how to shut it off!)

    I'm glad you don't count eggs as dairy... since they're not dairy. at all.

    they're poultry.

    great goals, otherwise! I need to just try to stay within my calorie goals... that would help me greatly.

    You're right, they aren't dairy at all. But some people are confused on that and I find it best to clarify from the get go. Especially when you're asking for accountability from the public.

    I like how you're very specific and how you said what you will do and not what you will not do. In my opinion, that would be a lot easier to follow because you are more exact.

    This week I will
    - Do at least 40 minutes of kick UFC training every day for 4 days
    - Walk/run 5 miles 3x
    - Do 5 minutes of yoga a day
    - Do chest stretches 5x a day to correct my back posture
    - Eat only the things I planned to eat for the day. No more, no less

    This week I will:

    Great post!! To easy to use the holidays as a reason to fly off the handle!

    Plan for the week:

    5 workouts @ 1 hour each (except Thanksgiving...my workout center is doing a 1&1/2 hour class!)
    Stay within my caloric limit each day
    Limit myself to one diet coke/day--have been drinking much more than I prefer lately...
    ....which leads to more water consumption!!

    Hope everyone has a good week.

    This week I WILL.......

    *Not eat out at a restaurant b/c I don't feel like cooking dinner (except our planned trip to Pere Marquette for Thanksgiving)

    *Not let Thanksgiving be a reason to eat so much, and feel guilty for enjoying food.

    *Finish Stage 1 of "New Rules of Lifting"

    *Love myself, and ALL of my flaws!

    *Be a more patient person! (My job does not always call for me to be patient, and sometimes that transfers into my personal life. I DO NOT LIKE that about myself. Especially with my children, and husband)

    People count eggs as dairy? o-o

    Annnd this week... I will... Stay within my calorie limits, stay way down on sodium. Pretty sure I have a ton of water retention because of my high sodium days lately(I had a small bag of movie popcorn, and it said it only had like, 200 mg of sodium, but I really don't believe that, because that night my weight jumped up 4 pounds.) Hopefully get rid of my water weight, and still eat things i like. :)
