Accountability

Weekends are so hard. 

I work a lot, as I'm sure many of you do. I wake up early (even earlier since I started this working out thing), and I get tired after long hours and two jobs. Saturday and Sunday seem like the only time I get a chance to stay up late, sleep in, and live that "fantasy relaxation life" that I think seems so appealing. 

The fact is though, that the up-late-on-the-weekends-and-less-sleep-on-weekdays makes me feel like shit. It's extra hard to bounce back from that kind of living during the week, and I'm exhausted by Friday, and by the time I hit my stride on Sundays I'm totally unprepared for the work week and the cycle starts all over. 

I let a Friday night argument get in my way of working out Saturday morning for a class I waitlisted for. I was super excited to do back to back days  of barre this weekend, and I'm really disappointed with that result. I still worked out Saturday afternoon, which was nice, but it wasn't what I really wanted and it didn't display the willpower I need to go all the way. This morning's Sunday barre was wonderful, and just reinforced how much I wish I had gone yesterday.

On another note, I truly believe that to be really accountable about achieving goals, one must have some measureable resultas and, overall, accountability for their actions. 

So, in that vein, I'm taking measurements. I'm about three weeks in to my Modo/everyday workout challenge, and I meant to do this earlier and of course let myself get busy. Here's my current body measurements as things stand. I'm going to do everything I can to stay on top of my class schedule, no excuses, and in 5 more weeks we'll see if anything changes.

Arms:      13"
Thighs:    26"
Ass:         47"
Waist:      41.5"

Good luck on the next week!
