4 day into my first DietBet

Well, I woke up on Monday morning, emptied my bladder, exhaled all air from my lungs, held my breath and stepped on the dreaded scale. The result?? Pure devastation! I have fallen back into my fat world... the one I have been struggling so hard to free myself from. I have escaped it in the past and I WILL do it again because I can, damn it!

So I made a plan and I am pleased to say that I have stuck with it and the results have been pleasant! I am down 4.2 pounds on the scale. I know that a lot of that was water retention as I no longer have dents in my legs :P I also know my body loves it when I treat it right... so why do I fall back into old habits?? To change your direction is to understand how you got there in the first place and so I did a little brainstorm and realized that this is why I fall into those old habits:

Time - it takes time to prepare your healthy meals and avoid restaurant foods
Energy - while working a full time job and being a Mom of three busy children my energy levels are quickly dimished during a day
Time - since taking on University courses (19 credits this year) it seems that any extra time I have is spent in the books... and not the fun books about romance, fiction or adventure... nope, management books
Peer pressure - when I don't take the time to prepare and follow my plan I succomb easily to the temptations that surround me at work

There are others too but I realize that there are plenty of reasons to justify my fat ass... the truth is that I am tired of justifying it! I have the plan, am following the plan and am assured that I will stick with it because I AM NOT GOING TO LOSE MY MONEY :P

The ML DietBet has been the perfect vehicule to revive my motivation.

I also should say that my 24 day challenge kit came in yesterday... so I started today. I have no idea what I am doing on it but here I go. I will do regular updates so that you can hear how it is going. Day 1 is underway :)

Make it a great day fellow DietBetters ... make it count!

Your doing great hun. Monday was a hard day to accept as well....didnt own a scale til now...just was eating and living to my own satisfaction. To step on that scale then my husband step on it and weigh 12 lbs less than me but also 5 inches taller made me go EEK! The scale also didnt budge for 3 days....even though i cut calories like a pro. Im not on a diet plan just limiting the sugar to almost nothing but keep us updated. always like to know what works and what doesn't.

It is the Advocare 24 day challenge… I don't have an opinion on it yet because I am just trying to get through the first day … but I will let you know how I do once I have a few days in :)
