This dietbet has been my best yet. Not because I hit my goal, but because I focused on not depriving myself and maintaining balance! It's been a long road, and trying to find the most sustainable practices can be Really Hard! This dietbet was attained by: eating enough food, eating the right food, not overeating. Big breakfast, no seconds at dinner, minimal snacks. These two photos are 3.5 YEARS apart. I am super proud of the permanent changes I've made, and grateful for communities like this to help along the way!! Congratulations everyone for putting in the hard work!

Still being forced to take it easy on this official last day of my first DietBet.
Injury, and now hormones grrr, really throwing a wrench into my routine, my progress, and my overall mood. So you better believe I’m trying to get myself right today and will be waiting until the absolute last minute for the weigh in... sorry I’m going to be THAT person.

I am honest (and wore my ankle brace for all of this I promise!)
Bodyweight Barre
Full Body Sculpt
Chair stretch
Slow walk with the dog

Coffee and avocado toast breakfast. Planning out lunches and dinners for the week while elevating. It *is* feeling so much better today which is helping my mood, the grey rainy weather... not so much.

This is the closest I’ve ever been to hitting my goal and winning a diet bet 😍

Feeling a bit disheartened as the scale hasn’t been moving once again, and for this weigh in I was slightly more than the last. Definitely not winning this DietBet but I’m trying to focus instead on the NSVs, like fitting into my favourite suit skirt again after over 3 years of not being able to!

*VULNERABLE POST TIME*

I’ve been to the doctors 3xs in the last week with terrible ear pain and swelling in my face. I’m 31 years old, but finally and correctly diagnosed with Shingles yesterday. It was a relief to know what was going on, but the pain is so intense I can hardly move my eyes in their sockets (yes, I’ve been to see the eye doc too, don’t worry!)....

Needless to say, I’ve felt less than able to workout, which is terrible since this is probably the best week of weather Central Arkansas will have all year 😩 but, really trying to keep my
head up. Being a part of this DietBet is filling me with some motivation in the midst of sorrow and invisible pain. I can make healthy choices for my body right now as it fights back. I can smile and I can take walks. Please share your experiences with this sickness with me - I know it’s going to get worse before it gets better, so how long was that for you?

I did day 3 of the DietBet Hybrid, I am balanced. My food was good and on pint today. I spent a girls afternoon with my daughter getting our nails done and balancing life of work and relaxing. 💖

I'm a little nervous about posting this. Something I never do but I think it will give someone out there a little motivation. I committed to my portion control containers(90%) and Im wrapping up 9 week control freak.
March 2020 vs March 2021. Almost 30lbs down and I feel amazing.
Happy Wednesday my beautiful people!

Loving ???? the muscle definition I’m building!

Week 4 Full body blend!

I really focused on my core muscles and doing the movements slower than usual.....slower is so much harder!

I had to put my weights down for a while to stay in alignment and authenticity!
