Keeping it all up

How does one find the time to do all that needs to be done to have success at losing weight?

When I am actively keeping track of everything I eat, and how much water I am drinking, then I generally start to see the lbs come off. But lets be honest, this takes time. And when you add in the time for exercise, and strength training, this all starts to add up. I do really great for a week or two at a time, and then I start to sluff off. Is it really because it is hard to find the time? Or is it really because I figure that I have it figured out? that because I have been eating just the right things for 2 weeks that I don't need to keep track any more?

If I am being completely honest, I believe that it is that latter possibility. And as I sit here typing this, I realize that it is possible that the reason that I see the lbs come off when I am keeping track is because it isn't as easy to cheat yourself when you are writing down everything. But as soon as I stop, for some reason it is so much easier to just eat that extra cookie, or chocolate bar, or what ever it is that I know I shouldn't indulge in...especially late at night. It's the holding yourself accountable, I suppose that keeps one honest.

So I'll quit complaining about not having time and just do it. After all I said I was committed to this. I will accept no excuses, only results...right? that is what I said a few posts ago? right! So, I'm done with the excuses today.
