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 this week end been a little wacky. I didn't eat anything I planned to eat. I didn't over eat and I think I made good choices all week. I only exercised once this week which I'm not entirely happy with, but I'm ok with that too. Back at it tomorrow (Saturday). So anyway. I know I haven't had the big 3-4 weight loss I had been having so I jumped on the scale. I'm down a pound( to 333) . Its nice because I haven't gained, but I would like to be firmly in the 320s by the end of the month. I have managed to stick to my lent goals with the exception of the 2 beef meals I've had. I will admit Applebees has been calling and it was rough avoiding the scallops with bacon but I'm ok. Funny who I can ignore the Ben and Jerry's and not the scallops. I wonder if it will get easier. Happy that I am not forming any new attachments with food. I do have a craving for hooter, but I think their salads (if you can call it that, more like salad dressi...

One of my new year's resolutions was to post more in my blogs, particularly my intuitive eater blog. So I bought a scale yesterday because I couldn't find one that was easily accesible when I wanted to know my weight. It is a Tanita Scale . It is the best scale I've ever used. easy, no wacky changing depending on when you get on and off and the alignment of the moon and stars. So in 3 months I've only lost 2 lbs. I really am not as upset as I probably would have been because I lost it eating supposedly bad foods and not being miserable. I bought the scale to keep me a little more focused and honest.

I decided to create this blog to keep track of my eating and kinda watch my progress since I think this time is a little different. Normally when Get back on the wagon I am extreme (less than 25 carbs a day) excercise 7 days a week, weights...You get the idea, but this time I said fuck it and would do it the way I felt I could do it. I would try and eat like I had some sense, excercise 3-4 days a week. I am on 3fatchicks.com and had previously been on a 21 day challenge that I could never seem to get past day 5. So I joined a thread for a 7 day challenge, but instead of consecutive days it was just pick how many days out of 7 you can do something and do it. So I did the excercise 3 days a week and I did it...LOL. The next week I added one serving of vegetables or fruit a day. During my second 7 day challenge I discovered a thread called intuitive eater. The basic premise is eat when your hungry and eat till your satisfied. You can have whatever you want, but don't eat based...
