Wow. It has been one week since I posted about needing accountability and it has happened in more areas than I intended.
First, my board in the kitchen where I post my weight and minutes I have exercised stares at me. It doesn’t mock me in a Gilbert Gottfried voice like I thought it would. No, it whispers to me the gentle reminders I need. I still don’t know if my husband and daughter even pay attention to it, but it’s there. Way out in the open.
Secondly, after discovering that I have a slightly dislocated rib in my back and getting it set right by my chiropractor, I now have another person to be accountable to. The doctor will be checking in to make sure I am doing the appropriate exercise for complete healing.
Thirdly, I got some interesting lab results back and although the results explain part of my issues with weight and how I have been feeling, they don’t explain away everything. So, now I am accountable to this doctor as well.
Finally, I started working on my book proposal to a literary agent I am very interested in. This is a completely daunting task and I really want to take the (somewhat) easier way out and just self-publish, but that isn’t what I am called to do. I have someone helping me with this and I am accountable to them to do it.
Mainly, though, I am accountable to God.
In all things.
PS. I have lost two pounds this week. That may not sound like much, but it is a giant step on this accountability journey.
