Accountability for Body Honor

So, you've made it here to my blog and for that I thank you.  I've invited you here, a small circle of friends I love and respect, to ask for your help. If you read the section to the right titled "Body Honor", it will explain the purpose of this blog. (I'll pause now for you to read the paragraph to the right of this post :).

Here's where I need your support my friends...I let myself off the hook WAY to easily. I lack discipline when it comes to this body thing. I've got to be honest here...I need your help to hold me accountable.

Doesn't that sound like fun? I'm actually giving you permission to ask me how it's going, to question my food and beverage choices, to measure my...well, nevermind, I'll do that myself.

This is really scary for me as I'm not used to putting myself out there and being this raw and real about my body. You're going to know what I weigh! It's silly because I know that you KNOW I'm overweight...but there's something about putting a number to it. You know what I mean? It's a little embarrassing and yet I know that this is exactly what I need. To be honest about where I am and to ask for help.

My goal is to post on the blog weekly to share my ups and downs, along with my weight loss (or, let's face it - potential gain), and to post monthly progress photos. I'm committed to the Weight Watcher plan (counting points) and have set a goal to workout four days per week. Weigh-in day is Sunday - that's probably the day that I'll post.

I hope you'll check in weekly. I hope that you'll post comments with tips, encouragements and challenges. I hope that you'll share your own story. If you think this blog might inspire others, please pass it on. Most importantly I hope that you'll come along on this journey with me my dear accountability partners!
