All Bets are On!

Last night me and my friend decided to make a bet. Our bet is for $100 on who will reach their goal weight by April 3, 2010. Her goal is to lose 20lbs by then but I am being a little bit more ambitious and want to lose 26lbs (going by the 2lb/week plan for 13 weeks) and be as close as I can be to my pre-college weight. If we both don't make the bet we're going to donate the money to charity and if we both get it then we'll plan a mini-fun weekend or a lavish dinner to celebrate our accomplishment. Having that much money on the line really motivates me and now I am so less prone to cheat. Everytime I want to cheat a little bit, I hold back and think about my goal and the prize at hand.

Again, being social and dieting is such a fail! I was pretty good today for breakfast I had a bowl of oatmeal and for lunch I had a salad. It was my usual balsamic vinegar salad and for some reason it kept me full for most of the day. I guess my appetite is decreasing slowly and I dont even realize it. Usually, I get hungry like a 3 to 4 hours later but today I didnt hungry until I was at dinner with my friends.

For dinner, I met up with one of my really good friends from college which I only see on rare occasions because she's in law school. We decided to go to an Italian place called Vapiannos. First of all Italian food has like no options for carb-less food because it was all pasta, pizza, or sandwiches. I really did not want another salad because I already had that for lunch. I decided out of the three the least carbs would be in the panini. So I got the panini with a Tomato soup on the side. Let me tell you that this meal was my big cheat for the day and was so not worth it. I would not recommend anyone to go here because the food quite frankly wasnt that good and not worth the price. I would rather have gotten a panini at Panera Bread. Atleast at dinner today, I didnt drink so that saved some carbs for the day.

Recap: Panini Bread was the only carb of the day! Whooo!
