Day 62. A quick update on DietBet.
It's getting late and I don't have a lot of time, so it will be a quick post to share that my second DietBet game was finalized today and I won $17.16. My wife and I were at brunch when we found out.
I don't usually take food pictures but she documents everything for posterity on Facebook. This was my reward for winning the second DietBet game so the notification was perfectly timed.
Really I won $7.16. The initial investment was a ten-dollar bet that I got back as part of the prize. That $7.16 profit was a million bucks in my eyes, though. Losing 4% of my body weight in a month isn't an easy task and this success is incredibly valuable.
There were a lot of times during February that I wasn't sure I would make the goal, mainly because of plateaus. The key to getting through was accountability. I want to get into this topic in some depth, so I am going to write longer posts tomorrow and the next day. Until then, I used my winnings to join the newest game hosted by King Fatty Cakes tonight.
The ShameGame community is awesome. Between this and the group of people I met in Lexi's "Fatgirlfedup" games, I feel like I have another layer of support as I complete Mission 44. "Star Lard" will be my fourth game of this year. I won games one and two and game three (another Fatgirlfedup product) is ongoing. As always, I'll keep you posted.
See you tomorrow!
