Accountability Partner found???

I MAY have found an accountability partner. 

It's HUBBY! 

I never asked him, I never told him that he needs to change what he is doing, but this past weekend, he said to me that he's going to make an appointment to see his doctor but he wants to kick start a bit of weight loss before he goes. 

Say what??? 

I've been on him for years and years, but he has not wanted to do it. Ever. 

But I think he finally realizes it's time. SO I will be his support and he will be mine. 

We came across our first challenge this week with a trivia night on Tuesday at the pub, so I took it upon myself to cancel. We don't need to start off the week with a failure. 

I'm so excited for his journey.  I need to reel myself in a bit as I can get a bit controlling etc, but it's exciting to see him taking care of himself. 

Let's go!!! 

My Test Worked and then...

Lol... the 2 weeks that I tracked and drank my water and limited snacking were great! The scale even moved and I felt great! 

YAY!!!! 

But then I stopped. Stopped Tracking, stopped drinking water and started shoveling food into my mouth whenever I seemed to walk by the kitchen! 

I need an accountability partner. Someone to remind and push me... hubby is useless when it comes to that and I my two very close friends won't be of much help. One is on Ozempic so never eats and the other doesn't have any kind of issue with food so she doesn't feel my pain. 

Maybe I'll put some reminders on my phone to "remind me to drink and track" and to "put that cookie down!". 

Round 500 let's go. 

Update of the update

 So I wanted to do three things to reign in the bad habits and see if the scale would start moving - how did I do? 

1) drink more water  - I think all in all I did better with this. Still not great, but at least I was filling up my water bottle a few times during the day, rather than filling it up in the morning and then not taking a sip until I was going to bed.. True story! 

2) No snacking after dinner - I did really really good with this one. I want to add in trying to remove that mid afternoon snack now... 

3) tracking my food - started off really good and then stopped tracking on the weekend. I did notice when I started tracking HOW MUCH food I was actually eating. When I would have to stop to add the food into my little app, I realized how quickly those calories add up. Seeing the numbers add up made me want to stop shoveling food into my face, but when I stopped tracking, the accountability went out the door and I found that I was eating more and more. So baby steps. 

I am going to keep up with the 3 this week and see how I do. My weight was starting to drop by end of the week but then it started creeping up for no real reason. 

At least no real reason I thought until yesterday morning when my period arrived. It's been about 4 months since I've had one and so it came out of the blue but at least the weight gain made sense at that point. 

I am still weighing daily - I watched a youtube a few weeks back and the creator had gone to the doctor and the doctor had told her to weigh herself each day, same time, wearing the same thing if possible. She asked him why and said she had always heard it was not good to weigh every day. He said, if he had a patient that had high blood pressure he would tell them to monitor it by taking a blood pressure reading daily so it really is no different asking someone with a weight problem to monitor their weight daily with a scale.  That made so much sense to me so I don't feel guilty about weighing everyday and I do think it keeps me on track. 

So continuing with the plan... will report a loss/gain after I get through this TOM or time of year in my case!
