Wow, today is Day 36 and I'm still on board. I'm getting closer and closer to the end of the Diet Bet challenge and I'm getting nervous. For the next few days, I'll be getting on the scale more frequently trying to lose enough weight to participate in the monetary reward. Not sure how much I would get if I'm one of the achievers but I definitely don't want to be one of the losers. Today I had lost another half pound but this means I still need to lose another 2.5lbs. in 7 days. I have to admit that this is going to be tougher than I thought. The other thing that makes me nervous is that I won't be home for dinner in the next few days and eating out doesn't always do me well.
Today was movie day which also means "go out to lunch day". We went to a great restaurant called The Metropolitan American Diner and they had a terrific menu. It was freezing out so I opted for the soup and salad. Creamy Tomato Soup with Cheddar Cheese followed by a Lettuce Wedge with blue cheese, bacon and tomato. The cup of soup was incredible and filling. I ate less than half of the lettuce wedge so I'm hoping I didn't ruin the success I've made so far this week. When I came home, I didn't eat anything because I'm so afraid of not winning this Diet Bet Challenge.
We went to see the movie Ana Karenina which is on my list of the "25 Movies to See Before The Oscars". The movie was absolutely awful. I love Tolstoy's story but I hated the production of this movie. I can't even explain it. It was like it was filmed on a stage as a play with characters freezing at times. It was so bad....I can't believe we stayed for the entire thing. We almost went to see Silver Linings Playbook and now I wish that had been our choice. I was afraid Ana Karenina wouldn't be in the theaters much longer and wanted to be able to check it off my list before it disappeared. I absolutely love Kiera Knightly so this was even more disappointing that it wasn't good.
So tomorrow is Day 37 which means I'll only have 6 more days to achieve the weight loss I need to win the Diet Bet Challenge. I really want this. Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day.
