The Bet

So I was at lunch today...enjoying my salad full of mixed greens, turkey, & LF cheese, when I'm approached with a bet. Now of course I have a hard time passing on a bet I know I can win. It's a weight loss bet with my boss and 2 other women. There have been so many times I've watched my coworkers order fast food for lunch while I'm eating my protein/carb balanced meal. The bet lasts until May 1st, and whoever meets their goal gets a day off. Now there's a prize. ;) The others set their goals for a 14lb weightloss (they have more to lose) and mine is set at 7lbs. Someone made a crack at how easy that will be. OH how I wish. I think most of us know how much easier the weight comes off when you have more to lose, and how damn hard those last 5lbs can be. One of the women is bringing her scale to work on Wednesday so we can all weigh in in front of each other. No cheating! :) So- I have until May 1st to lose 7lbs! Boy do I have some work to do. My diet is reeeeally going to have to be clean, and free days are going to have to tame down considerably.

A bet is one of the greatest motivator to stick to your diet/exercise. And yes, I agree that the last couple of pounds are the hardest to lose! Whoever made that crack is clearly clueless! Go kick some butt!!!

I KNOW you will win!!!! You can do this. A day off for 7 pounds, no prob, girl.

Ok. I know those last 5 pounds or so are the hardest to lose. But, you know what to do to get there, just do it, woman!
