Well I won $250 in the bet! It is finally over! I’m excited but also a little disappointed. My relatives were SUPPOSED to weigh in on Tuesday but only 2/5 of them emailed me their weight which sorta makes me don’t think they aren’t going to pay and don’t really care about the bet. My only competition lost 13 lbs which was 9% of her original weight. I lost 36 lbs which was 15% of my starting weight. And even though they haven’t emailed me results yet that pretty much means I’ve won! It’s kind of an anti-climactic winning because most of the people in the bet aren’t even aware of the results yet but that’s okay. I am going to get some money!

I’m feeling pretty good because my goal was to be at 209 by the end of the bet and I was at 203. Now I’m 202 lbs and I’m almost at 199! I’m ahead of my goal! I keep trying to tell myself that I should be proud of my accomplishments. People are noticing that I’ve lost weight and I went from a size 20 to a size 16! And I can tell the 16 is going to be too big soon!

My weight training class is really motivating to me. I haven’t been going to the gym as much as I can so this class at school gives me exercise even when I don’t go to the gym and do cardio. I always hated strength training but it feels good and I feel stronger!

After the bet was over I was going to splurge and get some Chickfila which is one of my favorite restaurants. A sandwich really isn’t that many calories and it is actually pretty healthy but I decided to keep going. I want to be 199 by November 1st! Hehe. I KNOW I can do it!!!!!
