Accountability

How's everybody doing?

First I got busy, then I went on vacation, then I got sick. All part of regular life but healthy eating always seems to be the first thing to go. Am I correct in assuming that blog silence means that you all are also traveling, busy, overwhelmed, sick...and have let your original resolve slide a bit?

There's a reason weight watchers makes you come to weekly meetings.

I have a proposition for you (wink wink, nudge nudge).

Each person who "signs up" for this plan would check in via a blog post ONCE A WEEK. It's just a check in and can say, "All is going as planned," or "I'm struggling" or "I've lost all motivation." The only requirement is a check in.

Carrot: If everyone who signs up manages to check in weekly for four weeks, we can treat ourselves to a drink at Cesars.

Stick: If you say you will check in weekly but fail to, even after your friends gently remind you, you have to pay $25 into a common pot, which will go toward future outings to Cesars or some such place.

Let's see how this plan appeals or doesn't--if I get enough takers, I'll post an offcial start date.
