So Far, So Good

I am on Day 4 of the Virgin Diet. I am doing good. The only slip ups I have had are the two Diet Cokes I had this week. I only had one when I went out to eat. I am actually surprised that I am not hungry at all following this diet. I really think processed foods are my downfall. I can't just eat a handful of crackers, I want to eat the whole box. Seriously, the whole freakin box.

I also finally made a green iced tea that I like. I seep three tea bags and use one packet of Stevia. I then put a slice of lemon and it is really good. I am drinking a ton of water because of it.

I have worked out everyday but Wednesday (I worked that night). Looking back, I could have worked out in the morning. Today I went back to the YMCA. I begged Todd to go back to a family membership months ago and I never went. I don't know why I do these things. It was nice. I dropped the two little ones off at the child watch and I read on my Kindle while I biked. I really want to try a spin class but I am afraid. Very afraid. Just riding the stationary made me realize how out of shape I am. It is shameful. Oh well, at least I am doing something about it now. Next Friday, I am going to take a spin class with a friend so I can't back out of it.

Earlier in the month I joined some online friends in a Diet Bet. You pay an amount, mine was $25 and you have four weeks to lose 4% of your body weight. I have to weigh in tomorrow and I still have 1.3 pounds to lose. I can win up to $350 depending on if others did not lose their 4%. Looking at the standings, it seems like I can win a lot. I hope that I can just lose this small amount. I have drastically cut out carbs for the last two days and I have been drinking a ton of water. Hopefully it is enough to make the difference.
