Accountability, Accountability, Accountability

Some of you may be tired of hearing about Earn that Body.  Tough.  I love it.  And it's changing my life.  Did you see my post about running 5 miles in an hour.  Yeah, I did that, pretty cool huh? Will I do it again, heck yes I will.  Will I do more amazing things that I never thought possible?  You better believe it, cause I do!

How am I doing this?  Through sheer will power? Nope.  Through depriving myself and pain.  Nope.  I am doing this because I know that I can.  When I start to find an excuse not to do something, I push myself harder to get it done.  I did not start this journey running 5 miles in an hour, I was probably closer to 3.5 miles and that was pushing it for me. Yesterday I caught the reflection of my legs as I was running and it was beautiful.  I felt like I was flying.  So again how have I been able to accomplish this? I am doing this because I have a coach and a team that believe in me and I in them.  I am doing this because people are holding me accountable for my actions.  I am doing this because I love the feeling of strength that is returning to my body.  And I am doing this because I am worth it and I want to be the healthy fit person that I truly know myself to be.  .

I have gotten pretty good at doing things on my own.  But I am realizing the importance of having a group of folks around me that hold me to what I say I am going to do.  I want you to be part of my team.  I want you to hold me accountable and I will do the same for you.  That doesn't mean that you need to run out and sign up for ETB ( I would love it if you did) I understand the realities of living on a budget and making hard choices about where you can spend your money.  I know that I am very lucky to have had the means to do this program.  But that does not leave you off the hook.  We can still hold each other accountable for our goals.

Have you set any health goals?  Let me know what they are and I will help hold you accountable for them.  One of the goals that I am struggling with is my bed time.  I love getting up in the morning and getting my workouts done before I start my day, but I am having a very hard time getting to bed by 9:30.  So one way that you can hold me accountable is by telling me to get off Facebook if you see me on after 9:00.  I promise I won't be offended, I will probably thank you for the nudge.  I have set a goal of running five 5ks this year, this will only happen if I sign up for them, so if there is one that you are doing let me know about it.  If you have a goal of running a 5k, let me know and I would be happy to join you!!

Seriously folks.  I will hold you accountable if you let me know what your goals are, all I ask is that you do the same for me.  We got this, we can be healthy, awesome fit people.  Reach out, set your goals, and know that I will help in any way that I can!
