Dang, first time I've had internet in 9 days. I live on an island and our underwater fiber-optic cable was severed by a cruise ship (allegedly), leaving our entire town without cell service or internet! (Currently paying by the minute for some satellite connection in a cafe like it's 1999) in short, I missed the weigh-in and I'm bummed, but at least I'm not disqualified for the remainder of the contest! On the bright side, I've been reading nonstop.

I'm probably not going to make my target this month and I'm completely fine with that! Here's why:
- I got to have an amazing night out with some friends and celebrate my anniversary this week.
- I'm still making progress towards the end goal
- I've lost over 45lbs in the last 9 months and I'm not going to let one or two months of "not enough" progress stop me from being proud of myself!!

- I hope you are all doing well in the last week of this month. Remember to keep going! If the scale doesn't budge, measure yourself! You will be amazed!

- Yay! First cardio after COVID. Did 2/3 of normal and went slower. But I feel pretty good and it felt great to sweat again from effort.

- My progress in the last 2 months.
Only 5 pounds to go and I'll be under my lowest weight that I achieved after weightloss 10 years ago.
This time it feels different. I don't want to go back anymore. 💪

- This round is the first time since I started DietBed in mid-March that I didn't win a round or game. From weighing in at the start while on a cleanse, to a Fourth of July party where I overindulged, to my 50th Birthday where I overindulged more, and starting at the gym (which slows the scale because weight training builds muscle), this month was a challenge. I still won another bet and round 4 of another transformer, but I'm going to have to work extra hard to get to the round 3 goal. I probably won't catch up to where I need to be until round 4, but I'm still making progress and seeing changes in my body. Yesterday, I bought jeans that are 2 sizes smaller than I used to wear, so I'm excited about that! Friday, my daughter graduated with her MBA, and today is her party, so I have a plan for staying healthy!
Drink your water!!!

Well I made my goal. I’m pretty sure I had COVID the last 10 days. It helped with the appetite but my workouts vanished. I’m about 80% better so looking forward to a round 3 with some workouts again.

- I just came back from 10 days in Italy. It was 95+ degrees, so it was very hot.
I tried to monitor my calorie-intake and had a good and healthy breakfast every day. But we've been eating pizza (almost) every day and ice cream... definitely more carbs than usual. I didn't walk much, but was in the sea for about an hour each day.
So today was my first weigh-in... and I dropped 2 pounds. 😲 So happy! 😁
- Wanted to share some progress photos - hopefully they inspire you to keep going! The photo on the left is from when I started my first diet bet in 2022. The photo on the right is after round 1 of this game. This is my 4th diet bet and hopefully my last! 50 lbs down and about 10-15 to go. Almost at my goal weight :)

- Sweaty pic for the day. I’m glad to be back on a health journey. I’m looking forward to my December pic.
