Diet Bet and being completely honest!

Recently at spin class I was introduced to another woman who frequents the gyms and she mentioned joining a diet bet game that had a $50 buy in. I told her I was interested in diet bet but not a $50 buy in to let me know if she was going to to start her own game with a lower buy in. Within the week we friended each other on facebook and she started a diet bet game! Official weigh ins started Friday the 5th and the game started the 7th. If you aren’t familiar with how diet bet works you can read all about it here. Basically you pay the fee to join, the computer takes care of everything, two days before the game starts you are prompted to send in your pics. You are required to send in two pictures, a full body pic (dressed of course) on your scale and a pic of the read out (preferably digital). 

I have been completely avoiding bringing up what I weigh and staying away from weekly weigh in posts because, well I am embarrassed of how far I left myself go. But today I will be completely honest and keep myself accountable! 

                   Yes my bathroom is that tiny, my son stood in my shower and took my pic for me!

                                                                               215.6

sigh. I recall being 191.6 on my daughter’s bday August 20th.  Well no where to go but down from here right? I am officially on week 3 of my couch to 10k program and have started honestly counting my calories on mfp again! And a huge pat of my back I resisted the food spread at my orientation for bfast yesterday, lunch yesterday, cookies in the afternoon, and bfast today! I packed my own lunch and two snacks and water and that is what I had! It was super super hard to resist the cheese! Hubby is researching paleo recipes so we may switch back here soon! 

                    Anyone done a diet bet game? Eating paleo, have an amazing recipe to share? 

Hump day!

So excited that the week is halfway over! It also marks 4 days in a row I have worked out! Heck ya! Maybe my gym rat self is coming back! I mean it does help one of few ladies I have met here is going to be 37 weeks pregnant with twins tomorrow and hits the gym 6-7 days a week. MOTIVATION for my none pregnant self!

I finished W1D2 of C210K today! It is the 60 sec run alternated with 90 sec walking, there are 8 rounds of that with a 5 min warm up & cool down. On round 4 I decided to start at my normal 5.5 and every 10 secs up it .1 mph, it made the minute go by faster, I might do that again Friday when I run day 3.  We did Body Revolution(BR) work out, I made the assigned bfast it was amazing. It was eggs, spinach, red onion, and salmon so good! Then I met my friend who introduced me to another gym rat and we did spin. Between the 3 workouts I burned 1250 calories today! Speaking of calories here is what our side dish looked like from BR kickstart plan!

I don’t know if I mentioned before but Todd announced he is going to run a marathon! Did I mention he is crazy and twice in the past month he has started a run and ran his own half marathon? Without water or any fuel, drives me crazy when he does that. But today he only ran 4 miles and he saw a “friend”...

Yes he saw this! An alligator!!! Because we live in this now!

Pepper, I don’t think we are in San Diego anymore! Just a small amount of culture shock for our California family here in Georgia. So far we are still loving it, but have not had to deal with the gnats or humidity yet. Also I am worried will an alligator eat my little Pepper dog (our weiner dog)?
