"Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and pasionate concern of dedicated individuals.

- Martin Luthar King, Jr

 

 

Probably a little deep for a Dietbet round.  But oh so true.  I feel like this year has certainly been a year of sacrafices.  I walked away from an abusive marriage, sacraficed the money and lifestyle I was living.  But I did it for my kids, they deserve better.  I will sacrafice my life for them any day of the week. 

For this challenge my list of sacrafices continue to grow while I change my lifestyle.   I gave up my sweet-tea, my Hershey Milk Chocolate (thank goodness this challenge runs through Halloween, that will keep me on track), My free time of lounging on the couch, and this week I gave up bread, at least for a while (man do I love sandwiches, jimmy johns, subway etc etc)  Fast Food, beer and Jack Danials!  I truly feel like last night I gave up my sanity!  I did Zumba for the first time ever and I believe I left part of my soul in that room on the floor in a puddle of sweat.  I barely drove home and showered before I was asleep in my bed at 7:45!

 

I'm a pound under my goal weight and 7 days left in the challenge!!!!  Hope everyone is finishing strong!
