Seeking Accountability... I've got a great plan, and I need to stick to it.

Sunday, June 24, 2012

I am posting my meal plans for 14 days to be held ACCOUNTABLE to it.

No. More. Deliveries.

Feel free to check my nutrition tracker starting Thursday to see how I am doing...and please do not refrain from digitally SMACKING me should you see dubious meals tracked for lunch or dinner which are not listed in this blog.

Also, the bf and I have committed to hitting the gym every mon, wed, and fri at 8:30 am. You can also hold me accountable for that in my fitness tracker and I would be very grateful to you!

Just knowing that someone is looking is great motivation not to screw up.

(By the bye... if anyone would like me to reciprocate this accountability I would be more than happy to do so!)

...

P.S... some people have asked me why on earth I would ever eat BISON burgers, and what they taste like. Well, bison basically tastes DELICIOUS--very similar to beef. Plus, it has fewer calories than ground turkey and more iron than beef. Mine is sourced locally and grass-fed for maximum nutrition and minimal environmental/ethical issues.

    I like that you have PLANNED a night out once per week. Youve got to have some fun right. It also makes the effort more likely to succeed. And dont forget the beauty of leftovers. Especially with some of the more elaborate dishes or easy to reheat things.

    Great idea. You can do it, I know you'll stick to it.

I love bison burgers. I tried them when I was traveling through Oklahoma. The meat is hard to find out here but after reading this I might try to find some and see how my family likes it.

Best of luck and I'll check in on you but I'm sure you'll do fine.

    Deliveries are my downfall, too - especially pizza. I can do so well all day, but if I don't have a plan for dinner, it's all too easy to just order something. But reading through your meal plans has inspired me to get back on track and plan some meals of my own.

    Dinner sounds fantastic. Just got done prepping lunch for Monday and Tuesday. Dinner is usually salad. Wedneday is my day off, so I shop for and prep for Thursday and Friday. You have a great plan. You can do this.
