Well I made it, but barely, for my first ever dietbet. I was actually doing really good. Like really, REALLY good until Tuesday night rolled around and my bowling buddies and I decided it would be a good idea to hit the pub after our games. Oh boy!! Up goes the scale by over 2 pounds thanks to the sudden increase in calories, alcohol and sodium. I still feel bloated. Not a very well timed night out on my part.
Somehow I did make it under my first goal of 160.5. I weighed in at 158.8 this morning. 159.2 with my phone, and 159.8 by the time I dressed and took the pics. I need to hit my 158.4 goal next! That dietbet is finished tonight and I will hopefully be able to weigh in tomorrow morning after a day of light eating and senna tea. Fingers crossed. This is NOT the way I wanted to lose the last needed pound and a bit. TRUST ME. But I need to win the second one so I will feel motivated to join another. I'm very concerned that if I don't win it, I will close down my profile and never return. I know, I know....I should use it as motivation to do better, but that's just not how this mind works over here. As long as that scale is down tomorrow, I will have a chance. If I don't make it tomorrow, there's still the next day. I can do this. I just have to focus, focus, focus (and eat very light).........again NOT the way I intended on doing this.
