...or at least drinking wine with me. still talking and laughing, but in this scenario, laughing to the extreme and all of life would be happy -(as long as I was wearing yoga pants instead of REAL clothes). exercise completely forgotten. you would have no chance..... :)

you would have no chance to motivate me to exercise, because you would be swayed to the dark side (eating, drinking, and laughing instead)

Laura R.

you know, I really had to think about your response here. In the world of "dietbet", what else would be the dark side?

oh, I'm in Cincinnati. swing on by! I could use someone to motivate me. But, I must warn you, I am naturally happy and a bit contagious. I bet I'd have you talking, laughing and eating ice-cream in....about 20 minutes. :)

hahahahahaa.....
oh. funny but I actually lost MORE weight keeping my steady influx of red wine and ice cream (and even one meal of pizza) than I did for an ENTIRE 2 weeks of sensible, low-sugar, low-calorie eating. but, I must admit. NO coconut cream pie. But, I did choose the ice cream that wasn't my FAVORITE, so that slowed my consumption down at least to half.

hahaha. yes, I know. I DID expect my finance, who has been gone for quite a long time, to be back in the country by September when I joined this Diet bet. that's really what I was counting on. ;) alas, he was (and still is) delayed, and my stress extended.

I made great progress early in the week. but then. mid-week hit. my clients almost noticed that I had not been getting any work done. So, I had to chain myself to my desk for the next 3 days in make-up-for-lost-time mode. no progress since then. :(

I love it! but, I'm supposed to be giving up sugar? just kidding. thank you for the encouragement :)

do you think you could bring the spin bike to me? then stand there and MAKE me do it.....for about 6 hours? I think that's what I need.
