Accountability

I believe that every now and then we all need to be held accountable for reaching our goals. The upcoming season I believe could very well be one of those times, when an extra effort is needed to avoid a full month of overeating and sabotaging our goals.

My goal is to enter 2012 leaner and in better shape than I was in 2011. To that end I have joined a Holiday Challenge hosted by Tom Venuto. The support community there is quite extensive and very international too. But the point I am making here, is that social support and accountability often is the last piece of the puzzle, that will complete the picture. I know it will work, I have tried it here as well, there is nothing like publicizing your goals to increase accountability.

At the moment I am already 2lbs and 1% bodyfat down, so everything is working according to plan. Only time will tell how much damage the Christmast dinner and luncheons will do, but after all it is only 2 meals, which can only do so much damage if managed well.

So how about 2012? Any new year's resolutions? Not from me, I will continue to improve my physique, helped by my increased knowledge about what works for me. Both from a training perspective, but certainly also from a nutrional perspective. Nutrition will be a focal point for me, I know for certain that improvements in my nutrition schedule and principles will unlock the greatest potential for me. After 4-5 years in fitness I have seen and tried many different training programs. And most of them deliver results, its a matter of choosing a program that suits your needs and goals.

So from all of me to all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
