Dear #PriorFatPack,
I have noticed a recurring theme here in our little family lately. A whole lot of “I am not tracking like I should be” and a good bit of “I am not working out like I used to.” So I propose a challenge to you all! I want one solid week of your time. I want one week of honest to goodness give it your all accountability for your actions to yourself and someone else.
Leave your contact info (Twitter Handle, Blog URL, Email Address, whatever you are comfortable with) in this post, and I want accountability here! Trade phone numbers via email, and text message or call each other! We are in this together and I want to see everyone reaching out to help each other succeed! Heck, if you can wy not set up a walk-date, workout-session at your gym or virtual workout!Many of us are locals so why not use this to our advantage! We have this amazing community and I think it is time that we start using the resources we have built-in!
What do you say? Are you in it to Win It? Time to get back on Track? I’ll gladly give up my digits and text or call anyone in need to a buddy! Just let me know! Let’s do this!
I’m kind of new to the PriorFatPack but I’m totally in. I’m @AdiosFatGirl and my blog is at http://adiosfatgirl.blogspot.com – I am committing to this week and I’m going to kick it’s rear. We’ll tackle next week next week. Today is all about today and tomorrow is all about tomorrow!
Great idea, Kris! I am in.

I have the following workouts scheduled this week and I really have no excuse not to get them in, since I’m not working, except for sheer laziness. If I do this week of workouts as scheduled, I’ll be far more likely to do the same next week, and the week after, etc.
Monday – Off
Tuesday – Run/racewalk 45 min
Wednesday – Bike 45 min
Thursday – Run/racewalk 45 min
Friday – Off
Saturday – Run/racewalk 15 min, bike 45 min, run/racewalk 15 min
Sunday – Run/racewalk 4x800meters

My exercise plan, which is semi weather-dependent is:
Mon: C25K
Tues: rest
Weds: C25K
Thurs: possible Do Life Tour 5k casual run?
Fri: bike commute, C25K
Sat: help a friend move, bike
Sun: beach play!, bike
Corryn, and others in the general twin cities area – I have a treadmill and an elliptical and a bike trainer and a rowing machine in my basement. I can offer those if it’s raining and someone still needs to get a workout in. I have a tv/dvr hooked up so you can watch trashy tv while you work out (shut up! People’s Court is what gets me through some treadmill workouts) or listen to music. Feel free to email and we’ll coordinate.

Also – I need the most accountability with emotional eating. I need help to make sure I am not justifying a bad food choice because I am “stressed” “angry” “frustrated”, etc. My goal is to stay within healthy calorie range every day and move my body for 30-minutes. Walking, running, lifting weights, stairclimber. Just get movin’ again!
You and I = identical! I totally eat my feelings. Tasty, tasty feelings that are SO bad for me!
I’m in. Assuming I leave week all week, but I will.

Kris….KUDOS to you for lighting this FIRE!!!!! accountability is KEY, i believe, and it all starts (and RE-starts!) with motivation.
Excellent! Very happy for you…don’t mind me if i sneak over everyonce in a while and say hi, and GET ON IT! yes!
Thanks Gene! I find that motivation only gets you started, and restarted, it is determination and dedication that keeps you going, and it is damn hard to keep that fire stoked sometimes.
You are always allowed to sneak on over! I am happy to have you onboard!

The blogger world is what has kept me going! I hope we can all get back on track and meet our goals together! Love this idea!
oh I love this….I really could use a few buddies to help me along the way. since I am in ct I am in for virtual workouts as well as I would love to get in on the texts. I have a few functions this week and could use the extra help. My email is ezhunt@hotmail.com and I am on twitter @mommahunt16. Thanks in advance for the kick in the pants
You should have email from me

Very awesome!!! Happy to have you on board! Do you have any goals for the week?

Also FB. I focus more on my kids and family and less on myself.
Let’s do this!
It is hard to make time for ourselves, I am learning how to make time for myself… and in doing so I am trying to learn how to balance my relationship with the gym and having a social life.
I don’t have the kid component to juggle, I can’t imagine how you guys do it! I can barely manage my own life most days
I suppose I should reply to my own post eh?
@KrisGetsHealthy
Krisgetshealthy (at) gmail (dot) (com) will get me
I am open to giving out my digits for text phonecall support, just not leaving them on the blog (duh!)
I hopped in with both feet to the gym today and logged elliptical time, bike time, and water aerobic class! For me It is more about making time to do more than just my water class every week. It is also about logging my food. I make good choices more than 90% of the time), I just have been quite relaxed in recording them.
I am heading back to the gym tomorrow, planning my water class at 6pm and a walk if its nice out or elliptical session inside before that, maybe from 4p-5p. I need to get out of the 250′s before I break my scale!
Well, I managed to complete all of my planned workouts but Sunday’s workout. After the duathlon workout in the heat on Saturday, I needed Sunday to rest, so I did. But I did a 5k on Thursday, and did my other planned workouts for the week. Thanks for the accountability, Kris! Looking forward to this coming week!
