Last Week's Weight: 224.2
This Week's Weight: 226.9
Weight Gain: 2.7
Total Weight Lost: 83.1
Weight left for DietBet: 2.0
Well, I don't really know what happened. Did I eat a few things that I shouldn't have? Yes, but not ANYWHERE near an amount that would account for this type of gain. So I'm making a couple of assumptions: 1 - that my weigh in last week was inaccurate for some reason, and 2 - I'm retaining water because it's a certain week of the month (sorry, TMI.)
Whatever the reason the fact remains that I have two pounds left to lose before this DietBet ends on Friday and chances are that I am not going to make it. It's disappointing because I really thought I had this in the bag, but I do have to put this in perspective... Did I lose the 9+ pounds that I needed to? No, but I have lost 7.5 pounds (and hopefully will lose a bit more before Friday.) 7.5 pounds in four weeks in nothing to turn your nose up to. I'm not giving up, I'm still doing everything I can, but I'm not going to beat myself up. If I hadn't worked hard and hadn't put in the effort, I would be beating myself up, but I did work hard. I worked REALLY hard and I am going to pat myself on the back for that.
I had debated whether or not I'm going to sign up for another DietBet and I've decided that I'm not going to. I need the mental break. This has completely consumed my life and I don't want to beat myself up if I decide to eat a cookie. A cookie will not defeat me!!
But if anyone is interested in joining a DietBet I know of one that will be starting soon. This one is a $35 bet. You can join it here: http://www.dietbet.com/games/18023 It will be hard work but it will be worth it if you put in the time and energy and focus that it deserves. I strongly recommend doing at least one if you are in the process of losing weight. It really helped me with my focus for the summer.
My Birthday was a nice, low-key affair this year. My Mom bought me a peach pie (I only had one slice of it) and we went and saw a couple of movies. Amazingly enough, I didn't get the yearly depression that I tend to get on my Birthday. I think I have finally reached that point where I just don't care about birthdays that much anymore... Maybe, I don't know. Either way I'm glad that the yearly doom and gloom stayed away.
Well, until next week when I officially update you on my win (or most likely loss) of the DietBet.
Have a good week!
