Made it by 0.1 of a pound! Such a relief - this one was tough going and if I hadn't been doing the bet I would have already slipped massively. Great incentive to keep going now!

Was on track last week to make the goal for this challenge and then Hurricane Milton came through. It looks like we are without power until Tuesday. I'm still on track with calories, but between having no air con, losing sleep, and eating convenient salty food I've puffed up like a balloon. Hoping that drinking lots of water and getting some more sleep over the next few days will help. (I know it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things compared to what a lot of people are dealing with with but I've nowhere else to vent about it!)

I was getting so frustrated - I worked really hard all week, upped my exercise and was really careful of what I ate, and the scale hardly budged...until this morning when I was down 4 pounds. Bodies are weird!
I definitely wouldn't have kept pushing through over the weekend if I didn't have the diet bet deadline, and now I'm so glad I kept going.

It's been a while since I did a diet bet and I've been struggling to motivate myself after gaining/losing the same 15 pounds for the last couple of years. Hoping this will get me going again!
