Every Thursday morning I drive my son uptown to his high school and stop on the way home to shop at Aldi, Costco and Target.  This morning, with one day left in my DietBet and 1 1/2 pounds beyond my goal I was thinking how much I want to get frozen yogurt at Costco but my internal discussion was do I really need this, can't I wait until after my weigh-in vs. it's only 390 calories, no way will this put me back behind my goal and I've waited long enough, I want this and it's not like it's Ben & Jerrys.  This is my second consecutive DietBet and I've been eating cleaner than I ever have and I've been exercising more frequently to the point I'm now under 190 pounds for the first time since my wedding 19 years ago.  First stop was Target, the great thing about Target, which I used to think of as annoyance, is that the grocery section is all the way on the other side of the store, it feels like a quarter mile of exercise to go from the entrance to the grocery section and back to the cashiers.  Next stop was Aldi which only in the past year has become one of my go to stores.  Finally I get to Costco and the moment of decision, as I go through the entrance I decide I'm going to the cafe, I wait online and when my turn comes I stride up to the cashier and ask for the chocolate/vanilla frozen yogurt mix.  The cashier matter of factly says "no frozen yogurt today".  I ask again, you mean there's no frozen yogurt?  In a louder, sterner voice she says again, "sir, there is no frozen yogurt today, the machine is broken, can I get you something else?"  I shake my head and mumble no as I walk away from the counter.  There's no way the cashier could have known how long and how much I had been thinking about that frozen yogurt so she had no idea how stunned I was. Never in my history of going to Costco, which is probably 20 years, had the frozen yogurt machine been broken.  Perhaps there is something about fate and fate really wants me to win my DietBet or maybe fate is just saying don't slack off, you're only five pounds from your goal weight which will total 50 pounds since April.  I just know that when I turned and left that counter, I thought thank you for intervening whereever or whomever was responsible for watching over me.  Tomorrow morning I will weigh in, I will win this DietBet and maybe next Thursday I will enjoy that frozen yogurt or maybe the machine will still be mysteriously broken.
