Dear friends,

It has been much, much too long. These past two weeks things have been changing both drastically in my work and in my life. Hence, I haven't been updating and if I am being honest with myself I have been seriously slacking off.

First of all I want to say that I have successfully won Jen's dietbet! Also the Choose to Lose one. It was not easy by any means. I had a little less than 2kg to lose in ten days so I was very strict with my eating and excercised for at least an hour everyday. This was all through the stress I was going through at work. Like I was a weightloss machine. I got out of work, went home, changed, worked out for an hour-hour and a half, ate something light for dinner and went to sleep. Did the same thing for 9 days straight. Of course I lost the weight but it wasn't easy. I am sure if I had stopped to think about it even once I would've made up some excuse to not be as stringent with myself. Of course, it came at a price. Once I was done with my dietbet I saw it as a reason to relax with my food choices. I didn't feel bad about it at all. I knew I was human and I also knew that I had been very strict with myself recently so I could afford to losen up. But I haven't gotten my eating under control since. Needless to say I gained 3kg in 2 weeks. That I am not happy about. I worked too hard to just gain it back so easily. I refuse.

Today I am going to dial back in, re-assess my goals and get my eating under control. I still have 20 kg till my goal weight. It's not impossible but it definitely won't be easy. By Nov. 22, my birthday, I want to be done losing weight and start maintaining it. I know I can do it. The first 20 were easy the next 20 not so much lol.

Another reason why I have been on this awful eating spree is because my wisdom teeth are coming out and I tell myself that I will feel better if I eat sweet things. I feel like the constant pain is depressing me and it is killing all want to work out. I run as a means of working out and everytime I think about running with this pain I get in a bad mood. Today I decided that I was going to start walking today. I need to do something. If I stay at home, eat sweets all day and don't work out only one thing will happen. I will gain weight.

In other news, I have been going hard at this journey for more than 100 days, wow. There have been ups and downs (going through one right now) but I have come out of it a more confident person and that is what I wanted more than weightloss. The confidence that comes with it. With this post I pledge again to give myself another 100 days of eating healthy, excercising and living life to the fullest.

I can do this, I will do this.

So can you. Sending good vibes to everyone. Also if any of you have suggestions with ways to stay active while having a toothache it would be much appreciated!!!

I hear you on the tooth pain and not wanting to work out. Back in June of last year I had horrible tooth pain that took months for the dentist to diagnose and eventually had to get a root canal. Needless to say, I didn't want to do much of anything during that time. Looking back, I realize that exercise probably would have helped, if even just for my mood at least. Good idea to start walking since the idea of running during this sounds painful. You are still doing great! We all have setbacks on our journey, but kudos to you for sticking it out and moving forward!!! Hopefully the tooth pain doesn't get too much worse for you before you can get them removed. Will be checking in with you to make sure you get your workouts in this week! :)

Congrats on winning the bets! 20 lbs (or kilos?) lost - that's amazing! I had a root canal today so I can emphasize... Honestly, during a month of excruciating toothache, I wasn't able to work out at all -- and I gained some weight. The only thing I could really do was some low-intensity workouts, like slow walks. Are you having your wisdom teeth taken out?
