I am sneaking a quick break at work to get in a blog post. Our office and my textbook room are stuffed to the gills with boxes of books, clothing, and supplies that need to be unpacked, priced, and put on shelves.
Only having three people to do all of this work makes taking breaks a rare luxury at the moment. I am working solo on the textbooks, which I prefer. I have a specific order to my textbook room, and I get a little crazy when others come in an don't follow my rules....
Anywho....I've been sucking at this whole being healthy thing. Surprise, surprise.
I tend to follow a pattern where I totally kick ass for a month or two, and then I fall of the face of the Earth and turn into a big fatty for a month or two. I keep saying "this" time is going to be different, but alas, it never is.
That being said, I want THIS time to be different! What I need is an accountability buddy. I have reached out to friends and family members, but they never follow through because they are not on the same journey, nor even a similar one (damn skinny friends!), that I am.
Many of you though, that read this blog, are on a similar journey. Would any of you like to be accountability buddies?
I don't have all of my thoughts gathered on what I would like out of an accountability buddy, but emailing one another and working out a plan would be a great start. Some of my thoughts are if we have similar work schedules, we could plan to workout around the same time and email, or text, one another when we have finished our respective workouts. If we don't hear from each other, we would coax one another to get our bums movin'! We could share meal plans. We could have friendly competitions. Etc. The possibilities are endless!
So, if anyone is looking for an accountability buddy, send me an email!

If I hear from more than one of you, that's great! We could pair off, or just have a group of buddies.
Besides seeking help with accountability, I also have a few goals for this week. Some are fitness related, and some are just things I need to get done. I've been a real slug lately in every area of my life. Oops.
Log 25 miles.
Bathe the dogs.
Restart & complete Week 1 of 21 Day Fix.
Get a packing list for vacation ready.
I leave for a week long Northwoods vacation this Saturday, woohoo!
Clean the refrigerator.
I'm in! :) Accountability is SO SO important! Excellent goals this week! We can do this!
ReplyDeleteSending you an email too. :)
I'm also looking for an accountability body. Are you doing the 21Day Fix with the shakes? I'm going on vacation this Sunday for a week, so I been thinking on doing the 21D Fix starting on August. Please let me know if it's worth it the money. I'm used to clean eating and portion control, however, lately I been having lots of sugar/carbs and need to get those under control.
ReplyDeleteHi Izzy! I did one round of 21 Day Fix with the shakes, but I have since canceled the reorder of Shakeology. I just can't pay $130 a month! The package of the 21 program and the Shakeology was $160, and I think that was worth it. I am now just going to do a round of the Fix with the shakes to get my nutrition back on track, and the workouts are awesome! Send me an email if you want more info, or to start being accountability buddies, loeffelholz34@gmail.com .
DeleteYour goals sound like mine. My husband bathes the dogs though so my goals including trimming their toenails...not fun for them or me :)
