pressing the restart button...-32.8

First off, how cool is this??

Yeah, that's right. A white belt beat two blue belts! Here's a picture showing how our belt ranking goes.

I have to admit...after my competition, I took it easy during the week. I only got to my gym on Wednesday and Saturday, and took a step aerobics-type class on Thursday morning at another gym.

Guys, I think I found something to give me a little push! It's a website called Diet Bet. I came across this in an e-mail from Hungry Girl (she's great! Daily e-mails to help your weight loss with recipes, tips, etc.) and I'm kind of obsessed.

How it works:
1. You find or create a game
2. There's an ante that each person puts up, starting at $10 (I just saw one where everyone is putting up $300...no, thank you!)
3. Those who lost 4% in 4 weeks split the pot

4% is totally doable and an incentive of winning money never hurts! Obviously the more people you have, the more successful it is. Right now I've been watching a game with a week left. They have 193 people and $9650 in the pot, with a $50 ante. So far 29 people have lost their 4%, which means if it stays like this, they each get $332. Sweet!

I've got my eye on this game, which starts the day after Christmas: http://www.dietbet.com/games/4660

I've been recruiting people, but let me know if you're interested!

Back on the grind this week.
