  • Hi Everyone! Here’s my end-of-the-game pep talk😊

    I hope all of you had some success! That could be making your goal weight (woo hoo!), making a non-scale goal, or just getting back on the horse after falling off and dragging along for a while.

    If you made your goal this month, Hooray! If not, find some success you can feel good about and get back to being a healthier you :-)

    Personally, I did pretty well this month, but I think I need to up my exercise. That'll probably be a goal for next month.

  • I will try and win this dietbet. Can a person loose 10 lbs in a few hours ---------- I can vouch that they can. I think I like challenging myself like this.........I think I literally like loosing hardly any weight til the end and whamo! I should go to bed though - but I won't go to bed til like 2-3 a.m. and sweat like I am rocky balboa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I relate to rocky balboa more then Jesus Christ - I accept Jesus as my lord and savior -------- but Rocky Balboa and me TWINS) KNOCKED DOWN A BILLION TIMES BUT I JUST KEEP GETTING UP!

  • I love Indian food. Was craving Samosas and my favorite Indian store had them on sale. These are baked and not fried. So yummy.

  • This morning stepping on the scale I was at 229 lbs, so 7.8 lbs away from dietbet winning weight I'm loosing this dietbet. But I ate 6 apples yesterday 2 for breakfast, 2 for lunch, 2 for dinner and also light meals with them. Had tons of feeling in my feet............didn't experience some "crazed binge eating moment" (that can happen to us diabetics) though I was pretty hungry by the end of the day. My latest painting........................
    small wins are wins though and I am 100% I can fit into size 30 guess jeans now and that is a win (size 33 guess jeans are baggy all over on me even my waste) I'm just a hulk mega buff diabetic....................................it is what it is...................

(continued from my post below)
This happens when your body doesn't use insulin (a hormone made by the pancreas that helps glucose get into your cells for energy.) properly, and is called insulin resistance. If you have diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough—or any—insulin, or doesn’t use insulin correctly. Glucose then stays in your blood and can't reach your cells for energy.
Type 2 diabetes develops most often in middle-aged and older adults but is increasing in young people. Treatment includes healthy eating and exercise, and sometimes medication to help you meet your target blood glucose levels.

Last week was taking care of my sick daughter. Sinus and ear infections. Glad she's better and back to school tomorrow.
I was focused on reaching my daily step goal and a mile every day.
Felt good to do some meal prepping before the full week ahead.
Keep it moving everyone.....

Not doing awesome this DietBet, but I've just printed out a Habit Chart I can color each day, so maybe that will help my focus this last week!

Artchick

SB, sounds good! If you feel like posting your chart, I’d like to see it - I’ve never done one :-)

  • Per doctor’s orders, my daughter mixes fiber supplements into this high protein chocolate drink.
    She calls it a poothie. :-) :-)

    (She’s also working on losing weight.)

How is everyone doing?!!
I’m nearly on track so far at 23% to my goal. Plan today is to fill my water bottles this morning. Prep some chicken and veggies, and do a workout! For a treat I’ll make a protein powder chocolate mug (if I need.)

I'm at about 40%... but that's the water weight.... the next 60% is going to be the real challenge!

Patti

Sounds great

I'm back in another one of ArtChick's group! I'm coming from another DietBet where there was hardly ANY posts... that doesn't work for me, as much as I think I can do this on my own. I need to be part of an active community- and I know I can find that here! Looking forward to the DietBet!
