Dietbet

I signed up for a Dietbet online yesterday morning.  It is a website in which you put $25.00 into a growing pot until the day the bet starts.  From that day on for 4 weeks you work out and eat as well as you can to try and lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks.  Everyone who accomplishes this at the end of the 4 weeks gets to share in the pots winnings.  The Dietbet I signed up for has over 700 players and the pot is sitting at $20,000 I believe at this moment.


What do I decide to do yesterday after joining, publically displaying my weight and how I look in spandex all over this site to the people who have joined?  Hit up Dairy Queen and got a large cookie dough Blizzard.  Not only that I just came home from work and got McDonalds breakfast.  I see I'm taking this bet seriously.
I need to step it up!  Watch what I eat and get to doing exercise daily!!!  I know I can do this!  I have been quite successful before.  I make my vow right here and now to behave and be diligent in my journey to a better me!

Beginnings.....

It had to start somewhere and this is where it will begin.

For a long while I have wanted to do better things for myself. I've wanted to get healthier and look better. I've wanted to get more organized in my home so that cleaning it doesn't feel like the chore that it is. I want to control our spending so we may have a nice savings for things we would like; and more than that ...deserve.



It took me forever to do something with this blog. I started it 4 years ago. This is my first post.

It took me forever to pick a template. I wanted something new, fresh, exciting. Something to keep me motivated. I think this will work.


I will start with myself.  I am making August a new birth month for me to be able to celebrate my accomplishments.  This is the beginning of my journey, of being re-born.
