SEPTEMBER 16, 2013~ Day 1 of the 28 day challenge

So here is what we're doing.  Since we can't seemed to find anything to get us motivated, I had to go searching.  And I think I found just what we needed to get us moving!  I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but I found out through another blog about a website called www.dietbetter.com, but the part we like it the diet bet.  You bet anywhere from $10 to $500 that in 28 days you can lose 4% of your body weight.  If you do, you split the pot between everyone else who also loses their 4%.  For me, that is about 8 lbs.  For Curt its about 13 lbs.  So we found one that suits us and bet $30 each.  Right now, there is $19,000+ in the pot so this could be fun. Now that we have money on it, we have to do it, right??  Today is day one.  We could have been doing it already but it was a no kids weekend, so we ate a little bad and drank a little beer and watched a whole lot of football. 

So goals:
STICK TO THE DAMN DIET!
EXERCISE DAILY, time permitting!
NO MORE ALCOHOL


Here's what we ate:
Breakfast:
C: coffee (shame on him....)
J: key lime pie yogurt, til I realized it was not Dukan friendly!

Lunch:
C: cheese, chicken wings, jalapeno sausage
J: buffalo chicken

Dinner:
C and J: meatloaf

Beverages:
C: ?
J: ?

Exercise:
Not gonna happen today.  I'm fighting off a lovely cold, but can't my life in general count as exercise?  I'm wrapping up several huge orders and I think by the time that my day is over, I've have more than 20 packages going out and one of those has 23 things in it!  Not to mention, I'm babysitting 2 toddlers today, I have a juggle around a DirecTV guy in there and somehow get out to Ethan's school and get him picked up at 3:30 and amazingly get him out to a court ordered alcohol class that is ridiculous to begin with... And then back home to eat real quick and get everyone moving on homework and get Berlyn to a school performance at 6:30.  I'm not even putting in here the part where Curt had to take off an hour early so someone can be here with my niece and nephew that I babysit til my brother gets here to pick them up and then kids need to be picked up from volleyball and play practice and get all those package down to the post office.  Sigh....  welcome to my life.
