Day 13, March 27, 2017

Day 13 Extreme Accountability Challenge I made it through the weekend. My son Adam celebrated his 23rd birthday Saturday and we had our family celebration for him yesterday. That means his favorite cake, and one of mine, carrot cake. I usually grill steaks with all of the fixings. Lots and lots of food. We skipped the steaks with all the…

Day 12, March 26, 2017

  This is Day 12 of the Extreme Accountability Challenge. This post is pretty lengthy so please forgive me in advance. When I started posting my weight loss daily to Facebook on March 15, 2017, it wasn’t something that I came up with that morning and just snapped a photo of my scales with my phone and posted.

Day 11, March 25, 2017

Extreme Accountability Challenge Day 11 Yesterday was really a challenge for me. It was like the old me was fighting with everything I had to stay the same, overweight.

  Extreme Accountability Challenge Day 7. Tomorrow will be one week. This is my 7th morning post of my scales. It’s exciting and scary each morning.

Day 6, March 20,2017

Extreme Accountability Challenge Day 6 As I am almost at the end of my first week of the Extreme Accountability Challenge, this is proof positive that knowing that I have to post this picture of my scales each morning is a powerful deterrent to my food cravings. I’m not sure when I became such a foodie, but walking by the…
