I won my first round of my DietBet!  Yahoo me!  Now on to Round II.  Technically I have already hit my Round II weight goal...and I am afraid that is starting to make me get a little cocky.  For some reason today, I have been ravenous.  Everyone who ordered Girls Scout cookies had them delivered today and I want to eat them all, even though I despise Girl Scout Cookies (yes I am odd, I know).  I can't figure out why all of a sudden I am on this food fantasy binge...I have not caved to it, but this has been a really hard day.  I am trying to chug water and just tough it out.  The good news is the whole Round I, I never felt hungry or deprived, I just made better choices and exercised.  I also did not drink any alcohol, which I am doing partly because I am training for a rowing race, but also because I know I can stay on track more.  My race is this weekend (Lord help me) and after that I still plan to keep my alcohol comsumption to almost nil.  I am not going to say I will never drink again, but I wont do anymore than two drinks a week at most.  Until I get to my goal weight, that is what I need to do---it is just my personal choice.  If I stay on pace, I will weigh less than my husband at end of Round II.  That has not been the case since 2005.  That is my personal goal right now---to get to weigh less than him.  Short attainable goals...that is what I have to keep making.  And now, I feel better and my ravenous state has passed.  At least until the next batch of cookies shows up....
