So it is the first week of the Spring Break Shape Up Dietbet. That means it’s weigh in time!
So this weigh in is actually from Monday, the official start of the dietbet. Let’s just say coming into this weigh in I was NOT looking forward to it at all. Last week was just crazy stressful and I didn’t do any meal planning or grocery shopping really. We ended up eating out way more than I’d like to admit, and eating stuff I wouldn’t exactly endorse for a healthy lifestyle. The truth is sometimes that happens. I’m not always perfect. It isn’t always green juice and grilled chicken. On top of that I spent this weekend traveling 6 hours to TN and 6 hours home. While I was there for my CrossFit Level 1 and we did work out a bit, the eating was still way off base. I wasn’t hydrated. I weighed in on Monday night after spending most of the day in the car and eating on the go. So I knew it wasn’t going to be pretty. I’m not making excuses, I’m just telling you that the way you eat will absolutely reflect on the scale. and dang, did it ever.
ugh. seriously, i was borderline depressed. it was just the motivation I needed to kick it into high gear. I’ve been on track eating clean, drinking water, and saying no to extra treats. I’m also trying to get back on track with my CrossFit Endurance Half Marathon Training plan since I got off track last week with all the travel. The extra running really does help with my weight loss. Also, keeping up with my juicing makes a huge difference as well.
So this week, I’m working on getting rid of that bloat and back down to my “normal” morning weight of 192ish and then going from there to get down to my next big goal: 175.
How was your weigh in? What are your goals this week?

Girl if you pound that water you’ll be rid of the bloat and back down to your normal morning weigh-in in no time. It’s so frustrating, I know, I’m frustrated too… we just gotta keep going and the scale will catch up eventually!

My weigh in was about what I expected (terrible!) but I honestly didn’t expect to be SO FREAKING MOTIVATED! I have worked out at least for a little bit each day and have been doing well with calories and saying no to treats… Loving this Dietbet so far!

I swear I hate the scale!!! i had to go back to weighing myself no more than every two weeks because it would make me frustrated if i was bloated or anything. Get hydrated and brush it off. YOU LOOK PHENOMENAL!!!!

YOU CAN DO IT!! My goal this week is to drink more water!! I’ve been really bad about drinking water throughout the day – I’m good in the morning and then I only drink when I eat.

Sounds like you and I had a similar issue. My weight was way up from my “normal”. I’d love to see 175 by the end of our diet bet!!!!
