Day 5: Checkin' in

So far so good! It's day 5 of my first dietbet and I'm still hanging in there. My eating has been on point and I feel very "in the zone". I love the feeling of "I can do this!". Optimism overdrive! Of course, working out has been my biggest issue. Why, oh why is it so hard for me? It's day 5 and I've done ONE workout. Ummmm, that's just sad. I am taking drastic measures to remedy this situation (cause I know I won't do it without a push!). I joined gympact. I have to workout every day or I have to PAY $10 per workout missed. I guarantee you I won't be missing another workout! It's only 30 minutes, right?! Gah! I worked out yesterday but still have to get in a workout today. It WILL happen!

In terms of weight loss, I'm already 43% to goal. I know that's almost all because of water weight, so we'll see what happens from here. I plan to weigh in again on Wednesday. I am curious to see what the scale has to say! And I am already terrified of my second dietbet, which starts in a week. Losing 4% without the benefit of the water weight might be an impossible goal. We'll see! I'm going to give it all I've got regardless.

Hi Amy, have you thought of trying something simple for your workouts? I know its scary committing to long gruelling workouts. Try the 7 minute workout, no special equipment required. You can even download the app to help with timing. Its easy, start with 7 minutes and work up to doing more than one circuit. Google it or find it on utube. Good luck, hopfully this is helpful. Sounds like you are doing great so far.

I've been meaning to try that, actually. Thanks for reminding me about it! :)

Stay the course with those workouts and you should do fine. Good luck.

Thanks! :) I know I'll do it with $ on the line. I'm a little sad that I'm not more self motivated, but whatever works!
