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.

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...

Darn you to Heck Indian Food.

So yesterday I had lunch with my best friend.  She's smaller than me, but still heavy.  We went out to an Indian Buffet and I should have just ordered something from the menu, but I didn't want to spend to much since we were splitting the bill and had the buffet BAD MOVE.  It was all creamy sauce stuff which really begs to be poured over rice.  I was trying to pour it over the cauliflower dish, but that had potatoes in it.  I ended up just saying eff it and eating the cauliflower with a little potatoe.  Then my flawles logic *heavy sarcasm* said well if I'mma cheat go ahead and have the rice too.  I then had like 4 glasses of water.  I don't feel like I ate alot, the problem is I ate because of self peer pressure. I think of course wanted to punish myself and was going to make myself to a really hard workout today, but thought.  Ok I don't really want to do it...and I don't want to NOT workout because I don't want to do the work out.  ...
