Two Truths and a Lie.

Having accountability partners is supposed to help you stay on track.

It’s a good idea, friends and family there to help push you when you need it, make you stick to your routine whatever that may be.

The problem with that though, is that you can lie. Yup, I’m totally keeping to my schedule! Yup, I definitely did those burpees! I’m definitely not lying through my teeth…

Unfortunately, you really only hurt yourself that way. You know it too, as you do it, you know you’re lying, you feel that guilt but you still do it. It then becomes another habit you have to learn to break.

As you’re reading this you’re probably thinking, so what does this mean? Did she do that burpee challenge? Did she lie about it? What’s going on here???

Well dear reader I did start the burpee challenge, I started it and have two other friends doing it with me. We have a group where we tell each other once we’ve completed them.

It started pretty well, for just a few days but for some reason I felt so exhausted by just everything. Is it a good excuse? Nope. Did it feel like it at the time? Still no.

I labeled this two truths and a lie because I didn’t skip every day and lie each time. But I did do it once or twice because I just couldn’t make myself do it but I felt too ashamed to tell the truth. Even to such close friends!

I’m trying to pay it back now, do 50 a day until all my debt is paid. I’ve made more work for myself but that’s how it goes, you can’t really cheat yourself like that. Either your goals suffer or you suffer trying to make up for it.

So two truths and a lie.

1. I tried my hardest to make myself do my burpees even though I failed sometimes.

2. I can do a split.

3. I can introduce myself in 5 different languages.

So you decide, where’s the lie?
