So, I was looking at my past Diet Bet Successes, and thinking why am I here again...at the same starting weight as my last Diet Bets, if not a little higher. Why is it that I lose weight, only to put it back on? Sometimes it's a matter of pounds in a week that I can put back on, almost as soon as I took them off. I know I am not doing everything right, so my goal is to get a little better each time.
While I am embarassed at how I have made such strides toward my goals, only to be back to this starting point, I am convinced I am not alone. So, I am starting another Diet Bet, 2 actually. This time I organized my own group, believing that maybe this will help me tame some of my never ending excuses. I have plenty of them.
Some of my excuses: I have a 10mth old, an 11 year old and a 12 year old stepson, I work and own a business, my fiance works full-time and just started a new business, I don't have time...I eat what's convenient, I do what is easy, and it's getting old. It's all just that...excuses.
We all have 24 hours in a day. And, I have way too often been reminded that stating you don't have time is just a statement of what you prioritize. So, I suppose I have been prioritizing a whole lot of binge eating, Real Housewives show watching, Facebook News Feed scrolling, and time wasting doing I don't know what else. I have snuck in there quite a bit of baby snuggling, Pokemon Go hunting, vacationing and family time. But, I know I can find minutes that can be better organized into meal prepping, body moving, and maybe Pokemon Go walking instead of driving.
So, Here I go again...are you with me? (anyone else singing Whitesnake right now?)
