I've fallen off the wagon. It's gone on so far down the road, I can't even see it's dust trail anymore.
I had been going strong in my Dietbet game. I did a transformer (and many kickstarters in that time) from January 1 to June 1. And it was wonderful!!!! I lost about 40 pounds. Was so much happier and healthier. I loved who I was becoming. But it wasn't maintainable for the lifestyle that I was about to have.
I started this particular journey while on maternity leave. I was about 8 months in (so had 4 months left). I would come up to the gym (where I work) all the time. I loved it. I pushed myself hard and was getting amazing results. But then I had to return to work. And while I love being here and I love working out, I love seeing my husband more. We work opposite schedules. So while I'm at work, he's at home, and vice versa. On my days off, I like to spend time with him or get some house stuff done. I find small parts of time to get up to the gym.
(An important thing to know about me -- if I'm not working out, I'm not eating right. Most people say you need to get your eating in order first... nahhh not me. I work out and feeling amazing and then want to eat amazingly.)
All of this will change again in a few weeks. My work schedule will better suit my going to the gym at night time (plus finally hired a high school student to babysit). I hopefully won't be as stressed (more work = more money. More money = less stress).
I really just hope this is just a phase and I will get back to it soon. I miss Dietbet. I haven't done it in almost a month, as I wanted some time away. But it wasn't helpful for me. I love Stepbet, but also took a break from that after doing it for almost 4 months straight. But my breaks are done. I'm going to join a transformer that starts the week my work schedule changes and hopeful I can step back up to the challenge!
