Sometimes I hate Adam Gilbert.
In other words, my plan to get back into shape is going great. I’m down about five pounds and I feel great. And Brian keeps telling me how good I look and anytime your husband bursts out a declaration of your superior appearance without prompting, it is a very good sign. And my skinny jeans have become my everyday jeans.

Accountability is huge! I’m grappling with that as well. Since I lead an organization I have no co-workers and my board lets me do whatever. At my performance review, I actually asked for more accountability. I think it’s important for two reasons - one, it helps you get things done, and two, it shows that someone cares that you’re getting things done.
When it comes to personal development, I think having a few outside forces to hold you accountable and motivate you are important. Sometimes the people closest to us go easy on us.
I'm glad to hear that things are going well with Adam. I feel like I need to hire Adam too ... I haven't been to the gym in months.
