Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on October 22, 2014

After the passed few days of busting my behind, diet and daily work out wise, I sadly didn't make my goal for my first diet bet. The bummer part about that is I actually did lose 12lbs which was 4% but due to the the timing of my bet I had already lost 4lbs before my first weigh in. So of course I did, but I didn't, win at the same time, it is hard to not be annoyed by this fact.

Since I didn't succeed I had a pity party(theme of my life). I did limited exercies, mainly strength with tension band stuff, and I didn't eat great. Dinner was pizza with my little big sis. Side note: The most annoying part of getting to eat pizza is knowing I will gain weight while my sis won't. I got to pig out but I couldn't really enjoy it because I was sitting there eating knowing all the work I did was gone in 4 slices of pizza(4 is much less then I use to eat).

So as I lay here sulking thinking about how many steps and how many HIIT sessions I will have to do tomorrow to work off 4 slices of pizza, I signed up for yet another diet bet. I mean why not, right? I want to stop the pity party cycle but in order to do that I have to keep going. I currently seem like a glutton for punishment by doing 3 bets at once(yep shaun t makes 3) and still maintaining 15,000 to 20,000 steps a day but I am determined to change. I am also determined to win a damn bet.

Keeping it moving, like always!

I used to think like that too, that if I eat pizza I'll gain and my friend wouldn't. But what we don't realize is that those people naturally balance themselves and will eat less the rest of the day/week. Even though it's not consciously, it happens and when we take another pizza, another icecream, another chocolate, they don't or do it less. It's all about balance and I'm sure you won't gain because of these pizza slices. Pick yourself up and keep going, you can do it!

You can do this! I didn't introduce myself to you, but we both did the Maria's Fit for Fall dietbet (also my first!) and I read your blog posts pretty frequently and found them inspiring. And now we are also in the Shaun T bet so yay more blogs! Hehe, hang in there!

Start fresh. Pick your self up and hold your head high. We all have a rough patch. It's ok to have bad days, just don't unpack and stay there! Get moving again, make small changes and work your way up!

Have faith! You are still a winner and moving in the right direction. Good luck with the current DietBets (I'm in three as well).

All your progress is NOT ruined by 4 slices of pizza. What you choose to do today, tomorrow, and the day after that determines how it affects your progress. I know it must be disappointing to lose a bet, but you still won in that you lost the weight. Keep going and don't beat yourself up about all the food you ate. If you eat horribly one day, but consistently do well all of the other days, you will be okay and your weight won't show a significant spike. Keep it up and don't get discouraged! You can do this! :)
