ACCOUNTABILITY

ACCOUNTABILITY - the acknowledgment and assumption of responsibility for actions, products, decisions, and policies including the administration, governance, and implementation within the scope of the role or employment position and encompassing the obligation to report, explain and be answerable for resulting consequences. (from Wikipedia)

Accountability starts with me.. I have a plan in mind, and it's time to set it in motion.  The DH and I are both going back on the diet craze.  The one we've chosen, Ideal Protein, is proven effective and clinically controlled.  I did well on it last year before falling off the wagon.. That being said, this is how I plan to keep my commitment to myself, my family, and my life.

Step One - Set a start date - DONE - FEB 6, 2012 - Adjusted start date to Feb 15, 2012

Step Two - Take before photo of body and weight on scale - Scale photo taken 2/15

Step Three - Continue with weekly photos - 

Step Four - Make accountability jar - place $10 in the jar for each cheat, $5 in the jar for stepping on the scale not on a weigh in date, and $1 in the jar for each negative comment about weight or weight loss.

Step Five - Plan a reward - DONE - Vegas Vacation Oct 29 to Nov 2

Step Six - Journal/Blog weekly with week results

Wish me luck as I start this venture.  The diet is rough, but that's because it's a habit changing diet, not so much a craze.  I know we will be successful if we just put our minds to it and buckle down!

2012

Welcome to the New Year.  I hope that 2012 holds many promising new ventures and good times for each and everyone. 
I must say, I've started my new year off in a wonderful way.  I was blessed enough to be surrounded by the love of my life and dearest of friends.  I wouldn't have wished for anything else.  I know that not everyone may see the new year for what it is, a fresh new start.  But I hope to remain as optimistic as I am today!!
