It's day #6- Mean Abs- here we come!- Let's talk about Accountability!
Are you being Accountable?
synonyms: | responsibility, liability, answerability
"there must be accountability for the expenditure of every public cent"
|
We are 6 days into our Mean Abs June Challenge and I wanted to take a some time to discuss tracking and being accountable for your fitness goals.
The importance of self-accountability
Another part that comes into play with accountability, is the lack of SELF-accountability. Even though we need each other to ultimately achieve our goals, we also need to have self- accountability! With Fitness Goals- it takes a lot of hard work, commitment and dedication for us to get where we want to go. Many people start out with good intentions but quit or start making excuses to justify why they are not achieving the goals that they set for themselves. Did you know that the #1 reason people quit is because at the end of the day there are no real consequences for their lack of self-accountability.
We all need to set CLEAR goals and reward ourselves accordingly. If you reach a goal- treat yourself with something that you have been wanting. That being said, if you DON'T achieve your goals or just plain "quit", there needs to be a consequence set. You need to discipline yourself like this is your career and you were risking getting fired. These fitness goals need that same type of urgency It may be difficult and take time to see the "results" but in the end, won't it be worth the effort?

Day #5 of my June Challenge
It's another day and I am trying to stay on top of my workouts and food! It has been 5 days and I feel good! I am so happy to have my Shakeology back in my life!
How is everyone out there doing with their own challenge? Are you staying on top of your goals? Are you using any type of log? Are you feeling good?
I am really focusing on my food this week. I am cutting portions down and really trying to look at fuel for my body.
Last night I made chicken breast in the oven with 1 tbsp. Of Olive Oil and 1 tbsp of Coconut Oil. I also added some basil and had the moistest, tender chicken ever. I could eat that EVERYDAY!
This morning I started my day with my Shakeology (Reese yum) and then snacked on an 80 cal. Greek Yogurt with cherries. Yum yum. Lunch was 2 hard boiled Brown eggs (can't wait to get chickens next year) and 7 cherry tomatoes. Delic. Dinner will be my left over chicken and broccoli and I can't wait!!
Don't forget the workout! It's Day 5. We got this!!!
Next week we are going to add some cardio to the calendar. Got to get us moving!!!
Keep moving everybody!#

Toy's, Toy's and more Toy's...
It's humorous to me that when my kids are acting out of the way that my Hubs prefers it is because I spoil them or lack discipline skills..yet this weekend he went out and bought them a new four wheeler that is faster than the one they already have ...
But at the end of the day it really is neither here nor there because it's all about them and of course they LOVE it!!
Just cracks me up. Does anyone else experience this with their significant other??
Well, we have 2 power wheels (a jeep and all terrain) plus a power wheel four wheeler and now a bigger battery 4 wheeler plus Daddies 4 wheeler and his Go Cart. Toy's , Toy's, Toy's!!!
