Let The Game Begin
I told E that I am going to give up drinking soda for the week. He seems to think I can't do it. I asked him if he wanted to bet. At first he didn't, but I convinced him. I find challenges more fun if there is something up for grabs.
If I don't survive the week without soda, I have to make him a Lemon Meringue Pie. If I win, he'll treat me to a dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. Bring it on baby!
You're probably saying to yourself "aren't you trying to lose weight? you can't eat at The Cheesecake Factory and expect to lose weight?" One night won't kill me though. The Biggest Loser contest at the gym is for 8 weeks. I'm going to allow myself to splurge here and there. If I don't, I'll snap at some point. Plus, I can have a sensible dinner there and split a piece of cheesecake with E (or simply not eat the whole piece).
Even if I win, I might still make him a pie. I know he's going along with the bet more to motivate me then anything else. Most people don't picture me as a competitive person, but that spirit is within me. I can be a fierce competitor when I want to be. *flexes wannabe muscles* Grrr! Hear me Roar! :)
