Good afternoon everyone!
Here is my first official Doc’s Log of the new year…I decided to redo it as #1 because it’s a new year, first entry and I was only one log in anyway so why not start anew (hence the Redux)?
Well, the year has gotten off to a pretty good start. On Jan 7th, I started a DietBet. What is a DietBet you ask? I’ll tell you. DietBet is a website where everyone that is part of the game pays a pre determined wager to be part of the bet. In my game, it was $10. The sum total of every wagers makes the pot. You submit your weigh-in beforehand ( verified via picture with a secret word given only to you to verify your identity that you submit to the site but no one in the game sees it). Your goal is to lose 4% of your body weight. The bet lasts 28 days or 4 weeks. At the end of the time, you submit your final weigh-in. All players who have reached their goal of 4% or more weight lost split the pot at the end of the game. I chose to keep the wager small to gauge interest so it was only $10. By start day, we had a group of 21 people for a pot of $210.
I’m proud to say I’ve reached my 4%. The goal for me was 12.8 pounds and I’m officially down 13.2. Unfortunately this is all me playing catch up because I gained 27 pounds since Thanksgiving ballooning from 292-ish up to just under 320 by New Year’s Day. That’s okay though, it’s in the past and I’m working on it as we speak.
My workouts haven’t been consistent but my diet has been pretty on point. I’ve kept 90% of my cheating to #CheatMealFriday so that’s been good. I’ve only averaged about 2 workouts a week unfortunately. Winter definitely places a damper on motivation, I tell you. The reluctance to leave a warm house go out in the cold air is HIGH.
