Accountable:
1. Logging in daily
2. Getting more active on a daily basis, actually leaving my desk on my lunch break!
3. Water intake is closer to what it should be
Improvements:
1. Try harder to accomplish the roadblocks/additional challenges, rather than just getting in the minutes
2. Less snacking in the afternoon/evening. Perhaps try drinking water instead.0 -
Accountable:
1: I've been getting in my exercise consistently, and I've even been finishing some Insanity workouts with another workout afterwards.
2: Logging my activity for the challenge, every week.
3: Trying new foods. I already eat quite a varied diet, but it tends to be the same meals each week. This has encouraged me to cook other things.
Improvements
1: Enough with the chocolate! I'm not losing any weight as I'm binging most weekends on junk food. I need to drastically reduce this.
2: Logging on binge day - I shouldn't be eating that food, but if I do I need to be accountable for it.0 -

Accountable:
1- logging daily, I have missed a few days but sometimes if I eat at someone else's house, it isn't possible to log accurately so I don't bother guessing. I had gotten bad logging so doing it almost daily is great.
2- Being part of a team....I don't want to let my team down so I am doing my best to get as many points as possible most of the time.
3- trying new exercises
Work on:
staying focused on being healthier, fewer little treats throughout the day
sticking with my daily goals for exercise and less sugar0
