Yesterday's Daily Inspiration - Get an Accountability Partner

This one was perfect for yesterday, so I am going to post this one, too.....

Get an accountability partner.

Your recovery is your responsibility, but don't go it alone. Find a partner to be accountable to, either someone in your support group or a friend. Having someone to call during moments of weakness can make a big difference. Your accountability partner can talk you down from eating the unhealthy food that is inches from your lips or encourage you to exercise.

Put your partner's phone number on your refrigerator, your pantry, and your phone. This person is an important part of your support system. You can be there for your partner, too, when he or she is in need.

Action for the day: If you don't have an accountability partner, just ask someone. If they say no, ask someone else. If you do have an accountability partner, check in with him or her today.

One of the librarians' at our boys' elementary school had the bypass 10mos ago and is down 140lbs.  So yesterday I was there helping out w/ the PTA and she and I agreed to start exercising together!   I'm really scared I am losing too much mucsle not being able to really exercise with this bad knee. My surgery is next Wednesday so that is a step in the right direction.
