This challenge is really important to me. Exercise is super easy to me- I run about 60 Kilometers a week, do yoga, walk a lot, and do some weight lifting and martial arts. I love exercising- it gives me energy and makes me feel alive! But it also gives me an excuse to overeat and winds up making it harder for me to lose weight!
All in all- today I didn't do as well today as I had hoped.
The good- I was better with my diet than I normally am- usually it is easy to make excuses to pick at my kids food, or have dessert that I don't need, large portions or extra bread (I ran this morning!). Today, I couldn't make those excuses because I had the dietbet! That was awesome- I wanted a reason to not be able to make excuses!
At the same time, I still didn't do as well as I want to. The reason was mainly because today I wound up being a lot more on the go than I had planned- I ate more carbs than I intended to...I wound up unexpectedly eating out for lunch, and wasn't able to not eat the large roll that my salad came with (even though I asked the waitress for no bread). I also think the salad wasn't as low calorie as I had hoped.
Breakfast also was a sandwich instead of a yogurt and fruit that I would have had if I wasn't on the go.
I did wind up eating a bunch of my kid's crackers on the way home from school when I was exhausted and really hungry.
I am scared that I won't win the bet and I wil let myself down. Losing this bet would be really hard for me, because winning it is about proving to myself that I can make a change. I am scared what will happen if I can't make a change.
Hoping tomorrow will be a huge leap forward and very successful! I really want to win this bet- to meet this challenge, and improve my life.
