Training for my first/only marathon after a setback last year (bursitis). And because my awesome husband is too good of a cook! (I've gained 20+lbs in a year and a half)

  • Day 5 of 30 of running at least a mile every day in September.
    I also had to run at 10:30 last night because we drove home from the in-laws'.
    Feeling changes in my body even if the scale isn't showing it yet.

Some mornings (like today) I expect the scale to show a lower number, but sadly it doesn’t 😥. I keep reminding myself that it is trending downwards overall, and that’s all that matters. Stay strong everyone 👍

Mine didn't either, but we were at the in-laws' yesterday and I tried to be good and failed. New day

Finished day 3, at least a mile every day in September. Had to do early morning because we're driving to the in-laws right after work tonight.

10 years ago, when I was in much better shape, I ran a mile or more every day in September, so I'm aiming for that again starting tomorrow.

  • Training for a 5k at the end of September.
    Last night while my husband took our toddler on errands, I hit the treadmill for some intervals to work my way back to steady state running.
    My treat for treadmill running (because I can't maintain a pace to save my life) is to pick a show that I can only watch while working out.
    Currently watching Grantchester.

OMG~ you go girl :hearts:. Love the idea of treating yourself to a show while doing this. That would be the extra incentive that would motivate me. Thanks for this reminder

What if I lose the 4% early? Do I drop out or submit a new weight?

You want to make sure to do your weigh in at the end of this Kickstarter at the listed timeframe. Even if you lose more than 4%. That's the way to win this DietBet.

As the others have said, you are able to lose more than 4% of your initial weight. However, you can’t lose 12% or more or you will be disqualified.

Ugh, I was so ready and motivated and now I have to resubmit my weight via video. I wonder if it's because I gained too much weight since my weigh out last Monday to today (thank you to weight gain due to bloat/starting my cycle)
I'm probably going to weigh even more at end of day today.

Stephanie W.

Let’s look at it as a positive. I weigh the least in the morning before eating drinking. You needing to do a weigh in tonight puts your starting weight likely higher, so you’ll have a 4% based on that likely higher starting point. Win/win

If they don't disqualify me gaining 7lbs in a week! :scream:

Literally .1 off. Gah!!! 😫 of course my scale also doesn’t measure in .1 it only does evens. So .2 off. But still, so close.

  • Good morning and happy Friday!

    Today’s a busy one here so I had to plan the day before I even got out of bed. Did I get enough sleep last night, no. Am I going to try and do better tonight? Yes.

    While many of us don’t prioritize sleep, it is needed for our bodies to work properly. Everyone is different so you can figure out what amount works best for you.

    This weekend, try to get enough sleep at least one night. You can do it!

Torch, I feel that in my soul! When my kiddo were little, my partner and I swapped out weekend days so we each got one day of sleep. But it was ROUGH!

And Mark, I feel that! We had family dinner Friday night and had pizza. I love it but it’s so full of sodium. Even with drinking all the water yesterday, I’m still not back to my pre pizza weight. :weary:

mark a.

Pizza is a tough one for me, and most people. I'm sure you had fun, that's good! A couple days, you'll be all good.
