Ding Dong Dietbet is Dead

Thoughts on Dietbet


Ok it isn't dead, but my bet is over. I made my goal and I can finally relax and stop weighing myself like a heroin addict looking for my next hit...Blah.

I was 361.8 this morning.  with clothes it was 362.6, .1 over my goal weight.  BOOOO clothes, then I realized you don't have to weigh in with clothes, just take the picture so you're not flashing people. Off went everything and I was back to 361.86.  It was verified in 10 min and I didn't have to workout or kill myself to try and lose a half a pound or whatever.

I'm down 15.8 lbs since Dec 30 and my habits are way better than a month ago.  I don't think I would have been as focused without dietbet.

Towards the end, once I hit my goal.  I hated the obsession with getting on the scale.  Even if I ate well I wanted to make sure I was under goal and didn't have any issues.

So for right now. I'm going to just go it alone and if I fall off the wagon I'll do another dietbet.

Stalled Weight Loss 


So I've been 361.8 for a few days.  I think there are a few issues.  I 'm on antibiotics for my strep.  I just finished the last pill this morning.  Wednesday I had a my mini cheat (fruit juice and stuff) and yesterday I had an apple (to help with constipation, blah).  I haven't gained,  but I can tell from my ankles I'm retaining water.  I also haven't been drinking my apple cider vinegar since I'm on the antibiotics.  I'm ok with it since I know I've been doing the right thing. I'm giving myself till Feb 8th to relax a little, force myself to not get on the scale and just kind of enjoy life.  My major banned foods are in place, but I am going out alot next week and for at least one of those outing I want to drink and maybe have pizza.

Feb 8th I am back on the wagon and  focus until March 8th.

Working Out/ Fitness Glo.

I did another workout last night.  I hated it.  ugh. It felt like when I would do group fitness in the gym and just felt like it was totally beyond me and I just didn't like the exercies.  I finished it, but there was alot of walking and jogging in place of whatever stuff the instructor was doing.   What got me through it, It's only 30 min.  I think I checked the time twice, I rarely do that which says how much I didn't like it.  Even with all of that I am still happy with fitness glow.  There are enough options that I don't feel like I have to do that particular workout again.

I did a 10 min stretch after which I loved.

oh and NSV.  I can sit cross legged.  I know its weird, but I can't remember the last time I was able to do it.

Well I got back on track with the walking. 7 miles in 2 days is alot compared to where i started from and would be nice to knock out 10 miles by sunday (the end of my work out week). Well on 3fc I have noticed how bad High Frucose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is. So I had some lamb to cook and wanted some flavor. So instead of the marinade (which has HFCS) I bought I put some olive oil, rosemary and thyme in a pan and heated that then added the lamb. A little salt and pepper on both sides. It was probably the best lamb I have ever cooked. I think I am going to give the un-used stuff to my family and finish up the rest. Or we'll see. Something else that happened yesterday. I take the bus from NY to NJ to go home and there is a long escalator to get to the bus top. Easily 20-30 feet.....and the escalator wasn't working. I walked up without stoping. I didn't feel like I was going to die and at the top I didn't stop I kept moving to get to where I had to go. So I realized...

Up 3 lbs.

Well I just couldn't what to weigh myself and I am up 3 lbs. Normally I would be devastated, but Everything 3fc has taught says 1. I should probably weight myself in the morning. 2. It is not the end of the world. I also have to admit i overate yesterday, and I had a big meal Saturday . So the plans is to stick to what I am supposed to do and weigh again Saturday morning. The guy I am seeing will be up Saturday morning, and it is Super bowl weekend, so eating is not going to be the greatest this weekend. Everything else is ok. Added Later I just realized I got cocky. I assumed since I had had all this great weight loss I could eat whatever. I have not been eating intuitively. So I am glad I did the weighin and will try and do better.
