I've never written a blog post before but I figured that writing about my journey will help myself to stay on track and stay accountable for my actions. I'm excited for this! This is my first DietBet. I believe that with money on the line and knowing that I have friendly competion/support I will certainly maintain my motivation longer than when I try to diet alone.
My biggest problem is when I have a slip or a "bad day" where I skip a workout, or eat something that wasn't healthy. After that I tend to just give up, like I ruined everything. But I read a quote the other day that said "Giving up on your goal because of one setback is like slashing your other three tires because you got a flat." I'm going to try to remember this when I'm feeling defeated, and regroup and refocus on the goal.
