...because of where you come from. Your only limit is your soul.” – Gusteau, Ratatouille
Monday was tough, but good. "Easter Monday" is still a holiday here in germany, and it also was the last day of my brothers visit, so he, my other brother and I were all at our parents house for lunch. And my mother did things in style. For the record, my mom is french and loves to cook.
There was all this beautiful and delicious food...and then there was my food. Hahaha.
I am really thankful that my friends and family are super supportive. It does make things easier, but still far away from easy all the time.
I had some broccoli (without the Mornay sauce), boiled potatoes in the skin (no pommes dauphine), and just a tiny piece of the roast pork (about a third of what I could have eaten^^). My "dessert" was some mixed fruit slices (apple, pear, orange), and not the crème brûlée. :D
I knew, with one day to go before the end of my second dietbet, and 0.1kg to lose, I couldn't possibly let myself down. I drove my brother to the train station in the evening and went to table tennis practice right afterwards. It payed off. Tuesday morning I weighed in 0.2kg lighter than my goal weight. So I took my pictures and they were verified just two hours later.
I was at a friend's birthday party on tuesday (today. Well actually it's already wednesday, so yesterday^^). We went bowling. I didn't have any of the loads of junk food like burgers, fries and pizza, neither did I have any soft drinks. Water only for me. It was still fun though. :)
So why todays quote? As my weight loss seems to slow down week by week (1.1kg, 1.1kg, 1.1kg, 0.8kg, 0.5kg) I was wondering if I should join another dietbet. I was talking to a couple of people, and almost everybody told me I shouldn't do it, because I might end up losing (the bet, not the weight^^). But hey, I'm not at my goal weight yet, and of course it's going to get tougher each week. But "I won't let anyone define my limits. My only limit is my soul." ;)
What was really interesting for me personally, was the fact that I was actually upset that I couldn't run yesterday (birthday party), and I am really looking forward to run again today.
