Tracking Accountability

So how did you do last week in terms of nutrition?

What did you struggle with? Was it planning? Eating out too much? Not eating enough?

Did you track your foods (right down what you ate, drank, etc)?

If not, totally OK, but I want you to really think about what your goals are.

What is it that you really want to achieve? Is it a clothing size? A certain feeling? Feeling of wellness, health, confidence, sexiness, strength? Or maybe it's energy. Energy to keep up with your kids, to work 12 hour days, to do something totally out of the ordinary but always something that you've always wanted to do.

Why is it encouraged to keep track of what you eat?

1. If you don't know what you've done, how do you know where you're going?
2. If you've tracked your intake, we can see what changes need to be made to move you further.
3. To keep yourself accountable.
4. To see on paper, or for you techies on your app, and have that visual and remembrance "oh that's right, I forgot I had a couple of beers on Tuesday night" or "yeah, I did eat the rest of my kids mac-n-cheese."

All of those little things add up.

So this coming week focus on tracking what you're eating. If you want to bring it in or email it to me that's great, I'll be happy to look at them.

One of my mentors would tell his clients that if they weren't bringing in their food logs each week, he wouldn't take the time to do measurements at the end of each month.

He's a pretty straight forward Scotsman, but it shows just how important keeping track of what you're eating, drinking, and even sleeping play in your success. 

Last week I did pretty well with the exception of tax day. I had chic-fil-a's spicy chicken sandwich, a couple of fries (too dry and hard), and a sprite. Throughout the week I did some intermittent sampling of chocolate coated almonds.

If you aren't familiar with intermittent sampling, let me know and I can include that in a future post.

The sellers should be the one accountable for tracking. The customers don't have the slightest idea of where their product already is. If they purchase gets lost, the blame should go to the sellers. I don't get the people putting the blame on the customers. Hopefully, this issue gets more attention from the retail business.
