Let's Do This!- Accountability

The school year is finally winding down, and I am finally getting things into place to make my weight loss/healthy lifestyle much easier.
May 25, 2014- 216.4

If you read my welcome blog you might notice that I have gained 2 pounds since I wrote it! I am a person with drive, but with drive you have to have accountability.  I might have the accountability with myself.. but that is not enough! I had been chatting with my amazing friend Steve Dembo who has done an amazing job getting fit.  They are launching a website DENFitFriday

So, today I picked up the ingredients for the breakfast
Ingredients for  Cinnamon French Toast

I signed up for Runner's World Run Streak which is to do at least a mile a day starting Memorial Day through the 4th of July.   I have also been using the Nudge app (in using that.. I realize that I do not get enough sleep!)  I am also using Thrive and still using MyFitnesspal 

So, lots of things going, but I know that my new accountability is going to make a HUGE change!  

Now, I know that I can do this.. but nothing is every easy and although I like to see the good in things I have to be realistic about the obstacles that will stand in my way.
- Making sure to make time to complete the Runner's World running streak challenge
- Not eating for convenience
- Getting enough sleep
- Not using a gym

I am sure this list could go on and on! How do you stay motivated?  What do you do to help keep yourself accountable?
