Choices. Accountability. Determination. Success.

I have a choice, I can have egg whites for dinner while fixing a fabulous dinner for everyone else and stay in the green or I can jog for a half hour and have a light dinner while everyone else gets to pig out or I can give up.

I'm accountable. I have to account for the pie i had with my lunch and the double calorie meal i had for breakfast. I have to account for my choice not to go to the gym at lunch and allow myself to succumb to temptation of pie at the restaurant i chose to go to instead.

I have determination. I'm determined to meet my calorie allotment. I'm determined to stick to my training schedule for the marathon. If i jog tonight, it might leave me tired for my long run tomorrow. My long run is more important to me than the taco's we are having for dinner tonight. I have a choice to be determined to succeed at maintaining my calories and maintaining my training or give up.

Success. My determination to be accountable for the choices i make will make all the difference for my success.
