The idea of starting such a blog makes good sense. Public accountability (pretend along with me for a second that this blog has a multitude of followers) on a regular basis should act as a postive motivating force for someone trying to achieve a long-term goal.
It's sort of like enrolling in a course taught by a professor who's notorious for giving quizzes on the assigned readings.
In this case, my homework is to eat right and exercise. The pop quiz, of course, is blogging to millions (again, pretend) whether or not I did my homework as assigned.
The hope here is that the occasional failed quiz will be outweighed by the numerious "A's" or "B's" I receive in the long run. My worst fear is that my blog entries will serve as a model of "what not to do" for future individuals hoping to improve their fitness and health.
That said, today I give myself a "D", my day ruined by the three-headed monster of unhealthy snacks, snacking after dinner, and a lack of exercise.
