Dietbet Over

I lost my Dietbet. I only lost 83% of my goal. But this isn’t really a negative thing. I didn’t get nearly as much walking done as I intended. I could have won if I had. So let’s recap. I spent a month not getting enough exercise, and stuffing myself with meals that looked like this,

Bacon, eggs, and whole milk along with chips, candy, and syrupy waffles, and lost nine pounds. I think I made my point.

Here’s my entire diet plan for life:

  • drink no calories except milk
  • eat no fructose or alcohol
  • get the heart pumping at least once per day

That’s it. I’m healthy. I’m happy. I’m still a little overweight, but that matches my current lifestyle. My work is sedentary. As I find more active ways to play, that will change accordingly. But as long as I’m healthy, I’m not terribly concerned about the weight I’m left with.
