YAY! The diet bet officially started today. I need to keep this in the back of my mind when I thing I just have to have that extra candy bar or scoop of ice cream.  The pot I think is up to $880 WOW! I didn't think it would get that much.  I have been doing good on my goals....sort of.  I have been drinking more water and I haven't had chocolate in a few days.  On the other hand I haven't strength trained yet or logged a single mile.  I will either get on the treadmill later tonight or do a P90X workout.  If my back allows.  I have been having lots of trouble with my back hurting, so bad sometimes I can hardly walk or change positions so an exercise DVD has been out of the question lately.  I have been going to the chiropractor for a couple of months now.  I also increased the firmness on my sleep number bed which has surprisingly helped.  It still hurts sometimes, it's just not as intense.  My church is having their first 5K coming up in November and I think it's only 10 bucks. I plan on signing up for that and maybe that will give me enough time to train to run a 5K again.  Work was super crazy as usual today.  I am beginning to think it will never ever slow down.  I am so mentally drained by the time I come home that I have just physically tired.  Sometimes I think less pay and less stress would be worth it.  I didn't have much for breakfast...just some coffee.  For lunch I had a veggie sushi roll with brown rice, an orange for snack and a lettuce and guacamole salad with a side of pico de gallo l and some chips...but I didn't over indulge, so a huge accomplishment for me.
