Hosting my First DietBet: Taking the plunge in 2016

I have decided to take the plunge and host my first DietBet. I an doing this for two main reasons - one I need some extra motivation to keep myself going for the last round of a Transofrmer game and two I wanted to start giving back. I am not sure how well I will be at this hostig gig but I will give it my all.

Here is a little bit about me to help you decide if you want to join my game. I hope that you do. I am the youngest of 5 and I am in a birthday milestone year. I was born in Norfolk, Va and have lived my entire life along the eastern seaboard. I have found that moving between states 8 times before graduating high school has given me an appreciation of many areas and many people in the county. I am a graduate of Auburn University and the University of Miami. I spent 20 years at Kennedy Space Center as part of the Space Shuttle Program and now I reside in the Charlotte, NC area working for a health care company.

My Lifestyle change began in 2008 when I was diagnosed as type II diabetic. Since then I have contolled it via diet and execrcise only.I enjoy spinning and while I would not claim to have been athletic in my youth but I have found a new appreciation for it in recent years. I love playing soccer and prefer to play goal tender or defense. I joined my first dietbet last year and I have been relatively successfull but I have not won everygame or round of a gmae that I have played in - plateau's happen and life sometimes has its hurdles. The key is to keep on working at it and trying something new.

I hope that you'll join my game.

Hi Mary - once you join a my game DietBet will have you pay the game fee ($10) and then you'll do a weigh in (camera and scale required) and then it is off to do stuff so you don't loose the $. I see that I forgot to include a link to my game so here it is: https://www.dietbet.com/games/76203

GREAT BLOG POST!!!! and Great job on your blood glucose. Of course I am a bit partial to you (being your wife and all!) I know that you monitor your food and activity daily but not to the point of compulsion! haha I hope you get some participants today who are into football and soccer, because I suspect you will be talking about those games often.... and frankly... well you know... I am your wife. ;-) Great blog post!
