Day Two Hundred and Sixty-Seven - Weigh In #38 - Don't Waste The Opportunity of Accountability

All new Plexus Slim! If you haven't tried Plexus, you are missing out!

It's a lot later than I had wanted to be writing this evening, but I had a social I needed to be at for a group of aspiring agents I'm part of.  Whatever your goal is, be it weight loss, promotion, self-development, or maybe education related, make sure you have a strong group of peers to gain accountability, advice, and encouragement from.  I have been part of this group for a while now, and I can say it has been a huge part of my development towards owning my own agency.  Much in the same way many of you have been a large part of my success with weight loss.  My point is if you are going at it alone, if you are just trying to hold yourself accountable, it's going to be very hard to succeed (not impossible, but far from easy).  The accountability and input we gain from mentors and peers help keep us on track.  If you don't have anyone like this for you, reach out to me.  I'll gladly help you as you seek to reach your goal.

So on to my update for today's weigh in.  Last week I weighed in at 246.6 lbs.  I had an okay week for my food intake, but not perfect.  I was a little worried I may actually have been up a pound or so, but thankfully that wasn't the case.  When I stepped onto the scale this morning I was happy to see that I had lost another 2.2 lbs.  This brings me to a current weight of 244.4 lbs.  My total weight loss since September first is now 121.8 lbs!  I was a little surprised I lost over two pounds.  I was hoping for at least a pound, so when I saw that it was over two, I was really excited.  This goes to show that discipline pays off.  My processes of eating a healthy amount of and tracking calories, working out daily, and relying on all of you for accountability are still working well.  I'm excited to see where this is taking me, and I have a lot of confidence about hitting my September first goal.  I'm encouraged and determined as I'm losing my butter half.

My calories today weren't my best.  I allowed myself to have too much (while still staying within my overall goal) tonight at my social.  Appetizers aren't the most healthy of choices (even though the flat bread at Bar Louie is AMAZING!), but one of them did have veggies on it.  My workout today was tough, but good.  I'm not adding anything this week, rather I'm going to get to the point that I'm doing ten solid pushups before I add more.  I know I can get there, it is simply going to take time and patience.
