Hovering around 140

I haven't had that many below-140 days, I'm pretty much maintaining at 140-141lb.  Right now, that's understandable, as I haven't been doing as much walking.  I've had to rush home to walk the dogs, or go shopping for college stuff with my elder DD, etc. I'll make a concerted effort to push down after Labor Day, when I can back into a daily routine again. 

Food-wise I haven't been doing my Dukan Diet pure protein days, but have been eating mostly Primal. I haven't had wheat in the last four weeks.  I did indulge in some gluten-free pretzels a few days ago, and that was really just empty calories.  I've also had more fruit than usual, and an alcoholic beverage 4x a week, instead of 2x.

I did successfully complete my first Diet Bet, so I should be getting my money back and then some.  Next week I have to weigh out at the exact same weight, 141.3lb, which minus the phone/camera and the clothes is 140.3lb.  These are the weight targets I have to hit for the six-month Diet Bet (minus phone & clothes)

August 29:        141.8lb (3% loss)
September 29:   137.4lb (6% loss)
October 29:       134.5lb (8% loss)
November 29:   133.0lb (9% loss)
December 29:   131.5lb (10% loss)
January 29:       131.5lb (maintain 10% loss)

So starting Labor Day, no more messing around! This also means I can't screw up during the holidays...

When my financial situation gets better, I may try out Cross Fit.  Of course, doing P90X in my room is free, so maybe I'll start with that later this year, or maybe on January 29th, my weight-out day. 

Back under 140!

A quick update.  I've been back two weeks, and yesterday I was under 140 again, at 139.5lb.  I lost 5lb in the last two weeks, and I haven't been walking like crazy or starving myself.  I've had to walk the dog 3x a day since the kids are still away.  That also means that I've been moving more at home, as I have to do all the chores.  I've also been taking advantage of their absence by cleaning and organizing.  I've been wheat-free, but I did have some ice cream last week on one day. 

I've already reached my DietBet goals, so as long as I don't suddenly pack on some pounds, I'll make back my two 28-day bets.  My 6-month bet doesn't pay out until the end of the bet, which will be in January.  After this, though, I can't start another bet, because I can't guarantee that I'll lose 5-6lb in 4 weeks.
