Really?

So...this morning was the end of my 1st DietBet.  Thoughts?  Loved doing it! I played with one co-worker and three of her friends. It was a lot of fun and the girls were pretty awesome.  If you didn't read my old post about DietBet, it is basically a website where you sign up with a bunch of friends to bet that you can lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks.  We all threw in $25 for this bet.  Needless to say, losing 4% of your weight in 4 weeks is HARD!  I lost and DietBet reminded me of that this morning by sending me an email titled "You Didn't Win."  Thanks DietBet...thanks.

Anyways, the point of this post isn't to say I lost but to to say that I won!  Prior to this challenge I was just coasting along and maintaining my weight.  I wasn't losing anything even though I was working out like crazy. Ding Ding Ding... obviously my eating habits weren't right. I would like to thank DietBet for jump starting my healthy habits again!  I was able to lose about 4lbs in the 4 weeks with most of it being lost the last 2 weeks. I am proud of that and that is why I refuse to be told "I didn't win."  I totally did win!! 4lbs in 4 weeks?? Amazinggg!

I have my 2nd DietBet still going and that ends next week!  I hope to lose 1-2lbs this week! Unfortunately I will probably lose another $20...but that's ok with me!  I will gladly lose $45 to lose 6lbs!

So, in short....shove it DietBet! But...you totally redeemed yourself by sending me another email with this quote.  Therefore I still love you. xoxo

We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.
