  • Whew! I think I’m toward the end of my diet bet journey. This bet was harder than others because I’m at my goal weight and focusing more on non scale victories now. I was excited to run a 10K during this bet and enjoy the healthier life! Congrats everyone! Thanks for the motivation and accountability!!

Congratulations, that is very significant! All the best as you continue to your amazing path of health and cheers to nonscale victories always!

You could try a maintainer! And use the winnings from this game to pay for the membership required.
I might take a break from DB too until my LO is weaned... I'm close enough to my pre-preg weight that my body has really been fighting to keep the last couple #s while nursing :sweat_smile:

Done!!! Strength training 3 days, yoga 1 day, ran 1 day. Wish the scale would keep moving - it's been stuck for over a week :weary: but I'm tracking my intake and doing everything right, so just have to be patient and trust the process :heart:

This one is so hard!! I was literally eating carrots at 11 o'clock last night to make sure I hit the goals :joy:
Hardest one for me tho is the 30min exercise. I got up to run yesterday morning, but just as I was about to head out the baby woke up... and at that point it's game over! Feed the baby, make breakfast, clean the kitchen... I spent all morning in my running clothes and never made it out the door until after lunch -- to take my daughter to her ortho appt and run some errands :see_no_evil: :joy: The struggle is real.

Jenn and Kandice

Anna, I get it. You sound like one tough lady!

  • The 3rd challenge is the Nutrition Challenge!

    Here is the challenge if you choose to accept:

    *Eat 5 servings a day from the fruit/vegetable group, 5 days this week.

    It can be all vegetables or any combo of both. What is a serving? For the purpose of our challenge we will use the American Heart Association definition: Vegetables: 1 cup of raw leafy vegetables (about the size of a small fist), 1/2 cup of other vegetables or 1/2 cup of vegetable juice. Fruits: 1 medium fruit (the size of a baseball); 1/2 cup chopped, cooked or canned fruit; or 1/2 cup juice.

    One suggestion, but not part of the challenge: Please post at least one picture of a healthy meal you eat this week. It provides great ideas for everyone in our game! And remember to make healthy food choices in other food groups but we are not measuring those for this challenge.

    **At the end of the week I will ask you to comment under a post I will have pinned at the top of the game page. You will need to click on (comment) below that post and report in there. You will have until Saturday 10:00 PM Pacific Time to report in. I will then put all the players who completed this weeks challenge into our drawing for a $30 Amazon gift card or PayPal cash!

  • 30 min run today on my tread+ for a 5k trainer program. Did a 30 min walk/run yesterday. Trying to get my speed up. Have a 10K run planned this weekend at the “we run this beach” in Gulf shores, and 5k in Birmingham at the end of March.
