I'm a little disappointed to report I did not win the DietBet. Turns out 4% was more than my body was willing to shed for this 4 week period. I lost about 3% overall. Even though I didn't win, I do feel great about the progress I made during the bet. I really stuck with my eating plan and amped up my activity! I don't think I'll do another DietBet just yet, maybe I'll pick one for August.
This coming week will be a challenge for me. I will be in SanAntonio Sunday through Wednesday for a conference. It is kind of my only vacation for summer, so I don't want to make things too tough on myself. At the same time, I don't want to come back having gained 10 lbs! There will be a lot of opportunity to eat and drink more points than usual. I will be doing a lot of walking, but also a lot of sitting. I'd love to maintain my current weight for the next week, but I'd even be ok to just be up a couple of pounds. So, I'm making a plan, in hopes that I will be able to stick with it!
