This morning, I awoke to the email I had been waiting for..the official call to weigh in for the Fitfluential DietBet.
So, despite a sleepless night - I hopped on the scale right away. Might I add how much I hate weighing in with clothes on? I was 3lbs lighter without...
All I had for photographer for the full length shot were 3.5 year olds. I am amazed I wasn't asked to retake it...it took 12 tries between two preschoolers to get one clear one.
so unflattering...but it is what it is. Call it motivation.
But nope - soon my starting weight was verified.
Now, I need to prepare for success. I REFUSE to have the scale say that at the end of this. RE-FUSE!
To win this thing, I need to lose 7.3lbs...
I will be spending the afternoon prepping food - chopping veggies, planning meals...preparing for success. The next 4 weeks will be a test of my willpower in so many ways...but it is high time I get my act together and get back on track.
And to reward myself at the end? I have this thing I really want. A yarn ball winder.
Not a fancy one. Not even that expensive...but I decided that I will not order it unless I win the bet. My winnings will be nicely spent at Knit Picks at the end of all of this.
Wish me luck. I REALLY want to place that order!
