I just got back to the gym. I really didn’t have a fantastic day at all even though I found this new whole foods like market that was fantastic. The gym actually had NO AIR CONDITIONING! And the water where I fill up my water bottle was hot. I thought I was going to faint. I actually had to stop after only 30 minutes because I really couldn’t handle it. I’m sweating buckets. And there were SO many people there not even minding the heat. Well at least I did 500 calories on the elliptical. That’s something right. Tomorrow I will go for a super long time.
So I mentioned in a previous post that I am involved in a $250 bet with 5 of my relatives. We started at the end of August and it ends on October 21st. I’ve lost 20 pounds since starting the bet and I realize to win I will probably have to lose another 10 pounds before it’s over. And I’m a very competitive person. My cousin has lost a lot of weight and she has less to lose than me because we are doing it by percentage.
Hopefully I can make it that far by the 21st. I have a little over a month left.
In response to a couple comments - I have a hard time with the scale because I’m so obsessive. I shouldn’t weigh myself everyday because my weight fluctuates as much as 3 pounds a day. I kinda focus on all the little gains instead of the losses. So weighing myself everyday isn’t good.

Have a good night everyone! I am going to eat some of the sweetest tastiest honeydew ever. It is my favorite melon definitely.

Oh, wow! No A/C must have been a shocker! Hope you win.
You are doing so great. Glad you are doing percentages, though - more fair. My weight fluctuates that way, too. I try to remember not to take it seriously whether up or down when I way not on *weigh in* day. Delita
