Here I am one year later than my last DietBet and 30 lbs heavier. I'm the heaviest I've been in my life but I need to look at the reality of my situation. I have not one but 3 injuries currently that prevent me from doing load barring cardio. I work an extremely stressful job. I'm so busy I'm never at home and often rely on buying food on the go.
What I'm doing to change my situation:
- Got in physical therapy for my injuries - been 3 times already and keeping on top of my at home exercises
- Switched my work schedule to make more time for the things I need in my life like exercise and doctors appointments
- Been on a mostly liquid diet for 14 days as of today. Down 4 lbs. It's a start at least.
- Began doing Soul Cycle. Have been 4 times in the last week :).
- Took up laps swimming for the first time in 6 years. Finding it challenging but focusing on form helps my physical therapy.
- Try to spend at least 2 early mornings a week at the beach to do stretching. Helps remind me that there is more to life than work.
- Started taking classes again in the dream I'm pursuing.
- Working on positive affirmations daily
- Spending a little more time a week fitting in friend time.
Here's to continuing those changes and adding more to my life as I go through this new DietBet. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life but nothing is permanant. I CAN change my situation.
