Biking with the Bluths...and a DietBet Update

Happy Monday to you all!

As I have been passing the time anxiously awaiting everyone's race recaps from BMO Vancouver yesterday (HINT!), I decided I might as well go burn some calories in the gym and hopped onto a bike with my new favourite biking companions, the Bluth family.

It was kind of a false start at first, though - I got all set up down there and then realized I had forgotten my headphones.  Reminder to self - bring extra headphones to keep in work gym bag... But I made a quick trip to my desk and then I was set. Two episodes later, I was good and sweaty and ready to get on with my day. I also feel like I pedaled off some of the stiffness from Saturday's race and BIG PR!.

My legs were moving so fast - they are just a blur!

8.5 miles in 40 mins.   But, more importantly - MORE ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT! LOL

and I tried a new position for my fitbit on the bike today...

It was a bit better...but still only registered 2500 steps.  Methinks that's about all there is.  Oh and apparently I am so winter-pale that it looks like I am wearing grey tights.  Gross.

and, now for a DietBet update.

For most of this month, my weight has not budged.  Then, after I figured out the whole "I'm anemic" thing last week, I started supplementing my iron and suddenly dropped 3 lbs like that *snaps fingers*

So with only 3.5 lbs left to go to win this DietBet, I figure that is totally doable in a week.  But my body is a mess.  So, I picked this up and started it yesterday...time to purify.

I liked this kit because it seemed the least invasive...it allows me to eat real meals and had good reviews.  I may post a full review next week once it's over.  I'm on day two and feeling a bit lighter already, though the scale says otherwise.  I may end up shooting myself in the foot on the diet bet...but ultimately I am just trying to reset my body a bit so it can start to heal itself....and if I lose $25 (the bet entry fee) in the process then so be it...
