3 Accountability Questions: Week of Jan. 4-10

Options
Hi, everyone! This thread is for those of you who are interested in joining me in answering 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?

I have found that I lose weight best with accountability, and I'm most motivated to stick with my goals if I have to write whether or not I kept with them on the same day. So, if anyone else would like to challenge themselves to answer these questions daily, feel free to post here! Let's encourage and motivate each other to do the work and see the weight loss. :D

    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? YES, 25 minutes on the rowing machine. I almost got lazy, but I made myself go to the gym this evening, so I wouldn't have to post a "no" to this question. o:)

    Here's to a great week!!

    You guys are amazing! It feels good to go to bed knowing that you finished the day well, right? :D

    Hrwesterberg and Justmimi - I think that walking around in stores, etc. can definitely count. What doesn't count is sitting in front of the computer/TV vegging out. ;)

    Ms_Enzo - I love what you posted:

    Let's keep posting and see the results. Great work!!

    Now, since it's already morning here, I'm off to get in my exercise!

    1. I tracked everything today
    2. I was under my calorie limit, actually a bit too much but I can't even think of eating any more today
    3. No activity for me besides walking around at work and basketball practice. I have a sinus infection and bronchitis so I need to rest as much as possible this week.
