Entered DietBet for first time ever today so this will be a learning experience for sure. As soon as I hit 'next' after entering this bet a clock starts ticking down. I only had 30 min. to submit weigh-in pics! Then starts the mad dash! I quickly went from drinking coffee in my pajamas with my feet propped up to finding something to wear considered to be airport security-like attire (whatever that means), making sure my scale was working, finding an index card to write my weigh-in word on, trying to decently pull my hair up (omg this is going on line!), and dragging my son away from his overnight company to take a head-to-toe picture of his awesome mom weighing in (since we don't have a full-length mirror that would have afforded me the chance for a full-body selfie)!
After the excitement ended, I did JM's Buns & Thighs workout. Man, even level 1 kicks my tail! Every time! I really need to do it more often. I guess I have too many of her other videos to choose from.
Okay, so...I'm supposed to lose at least 4% of my body weight in order to be amongst the wieners, oh, I mean winners. Hmmmm, some quick math tells me that's just over 5 pounds...in a month...sounds doable. HOWEVER, the poundage is harder to lose these days as I'm down to the last 10-12ish pounds. It seems to fluctuate weekly. Heck, a couple pounds have even jumped back on...ha, ha! I quickly got rid of them because we all know two pounds turn to five and five turn to ten. Enough said about that. I will say, though, that since April 2014 I've lost a total of 25 pounds. Yay me!
So in closing for today...I'm in this to meet my fitness/health/weight loss goals. I may laugh and cut up but know that I AM serious about it. I mean c'mon! I joined a DietBet for goodness sake! Who would have thought? At the same time, though, gonna try not to take myself TOO seriously. I am very busy during the week but will try to post daily for self-motivation, accountability, and encouragement. I don't have an exercise buddy or someone following me slapping bad food choices out of my hands or mouth. In other words, it's kinda been a lonely journey so far. And what ever will I do once I get there?
Bye for now.
