Held Accountable

I competed in a Biggest Loser competition back in September-November of this past year.  It was a group of girls in Twin Falls and it was Erika, the girl that posted below, that invited me to the competition.  I learned quickly in that competition and I'm learning quickly in this competition that being a number and nobody knowing who I am makes me feel less accountable for my progress and for those slip-ups.  I want to respect those that would like to keep their identity as a number.  But, for ME, I do better when everyone knows me and my number and my weight loss (and hopefully not my weight gain)!!!  :)   It makes me feel like I can't hide under the radar!  :)  Because seriously, who wants to put up a number that has gained weight for the week and have everybody know!!!  LOL ...  But, if nobody knows "who" I am, it's easier for me to "slip" by! 

Therefore, for my own progress and motivation purposes, I am revealing who I am and my goal weight.
I am #2.  I started at 179 pounds and my goal weight is 135.  I weighed about 140 prior to getting pregnant with my little Zak Attack and I felt great!  I'd be happy anywhere between 135 and 140!
There you have it!  My darkest and deepest secret!!!!!

If any one would like to "reveal" themselves and if you think it would help you with motivation, please do so!  But, I respect those of you that would not like to.

Hope everyone is having a good week!  I've had a really good week thus far, but the weekend will test me!  We're headed out of town and it's ALWAYS hard for me to eat healthy when I leave town!  There are just so many good restaurants in Utah!!!!  Zuppas and Kneaders CALL MY NAME when I'm there!  So here's to staying strong through the weekend!

Does anybody have any tips or secrets to staying on track when you're staying with other people, not the one cooking, and eating out???  Any tips would be appreciated!!!

And one more thing......
Unless I'm missing something and need new glasses to see better, I sure haven't seen those healthy recipes make their debut on the blog!  C'mon people.....help a girl out!!!!  ;)
