Diet Bet, Sweatin For Summer

As people may have noticed I have some baby weight left to lose.  I have been consistent with my exercise and what I eat(I struggle more here). I have been both patient and frustrated. It has been over 8 months and I have some weight/fitness goals I want to reach. 

First goal: I have never nursed a baby this long, I am excited that I have accomplished that. I basically gave up with my first two and am happy with myself for pushing though the toughness. Honestly, it hasn't been an easy road...but I feel so attached and bonded to Lex!

Some women say the weight falls off when they nurse, this is where my frustration comes in. My body doesn't seem to want to let go of my extra fat when I nurse.......but like I said above I am BLESSED that I get to nurse Lex. My goal is 12+ months. If we still are enjoying it I will go longer then 12 months *grin*. And for those who say when you nurse too long the baby pulls your shirt down in public, my reply is Lex already does that so.......

I have been in challenge groups, and they are great and mine tend to lose momentum after a week or two. It is hard to stay motivated if I'm being honest. 

I saw a girl I follow on IG doing a diet bet, I have heard of them but I was nervous to sign up because you have to lose 4% of your weight in 4 weeks. That doesn't seem like a lot but it is about 7 pounds for me, the most I have lost since Lex was born is 3 pounds in a month. But nothing motivates me like money I suppose, so that brings me to my

Second goal: Sometimes we need to do something that scares us. I signed up and am excited to push myself even more than normal. That means starting next week I have a goal of crushing 7 pounds in 4 weeks .  That is more than double the rate I'm use to...but I'm only out 30$ if I lose and I get it back plus more if I win. The more participants the bigger the pot if you at interested go here .

And I know weight isn't the most important thing, but it helps with my other goals because I have noticed the less I weigh the faster I become. 

Third and fourth goal: Run or participate in a 5k and a 10k this year. 

I did have a case of runners knee so the 3rd and 4th goal may not happen as fast as I would like but even if I walk them I will complete them this year. 

Do you have any goals this summer?

Have you ever participated in a diet bet, what was your experience ?
