So my wife needed some motivation in losing weight. She's not a fatty person, though some of you know I call my wife fat all the time (look at the bday cake I bought her for proof).
My wife is having trouble sticking to the diet that once worked last year. As most of you know, we got married again in August. She was on a strict diet and exercising 4-5 nights out of the week; running on the treadmill. It worked and lost the weight she wanted.
This time around, she's not concentrating enough or just doesn't have the passion for it.
So she proposed something to me.. A bet!
I'm not sure if some of you know but I'm 5'7" and tipped over 200lbs. Personally, I didn't care I was on the hefty side. I started caring once I hit 200lbs though. Anywho..
My wife proposed a bet and if we meet the goals within 2 months, we'd get something we want.
Her goal: lose 20 lbs.
My goal: lose 10 lbs.
The bet started last week.
She's been in the treadmill 3 or 4 times already and has already lost 2 lbs.
I have done nothing but cutback on everything greasy, and axed all the sodas and sugary drinks. No exercising. I've lost 2 lbs. I'm at 200 lbs even as of last night.
I'll try to post how much we've both lost from time to time.
With a new added job, it may slow me down a bit because I wanted to start jumping on the treadmill as well to sew how much faster I'd lose the weight.
Anyway, here is what we get if we meet the goals.
For her: A Coach bag and wallet (around $300)
For me: New wheels for my Gti. No tires.
She said once I lose 20 lbs. I can buy the wheels and tires. No biggie though. I'm confident I can lose that in 2-3 months.
Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it!
