So I'm back. Fat again.

The last time I posted was 4 months ago...and things were going well. Then suddenly I went home from work feeling extra tired. I walked up the stairs to change and I was winded. My chest was heavy. I could barely breath. Two days later I was out of commission. I took a week off of work because I was diagnosed with Pneumonia. My lungs were filled with fluids. My doctor said, "if you were old, you'd be dead!"

That was 3 months ago. Since then I've been on 3 different antibiotics and 2 different inhalers. I've gone nights of no sleep. I've had countless Mucinex pills and chugged bottles of both Dayquil and Nyquil. I've had more cough drops than ever before in my life. My doctor said the pneumonia would last a few months. To this day I'm still coughing!

Well with no oxygen in my lungs came no energy. No energy meant no exercise, motivation, and just generally caring for anything. I'm still a vegetarian, but more like a pescatarian now. And that doesn't mean that I've been healthy at all! Cheese pizza, grilled cheese sammiches, ice cream, and creamy pastas. I'm a vegetarian that didn't really eat a lot of vegetables.

So at the end of work's Biggest Loser Challenge, I was 177 lbs. Now I'm freakin 189! I gained 12 lbs in 3 months!!!! UNACCEPTABLE!

So last week Pat sent me an email about dietbet.com. Someone starts a group. You join the group for $35 in this case. The pot is up to $450+. This group lasts about a month. If you lose 4% of your body weight, then you split the pot with others that had lost 4%.

You take pictures of yourself, take pics of your weight scale and submit them to the site. Site admins determine if your weight loss is legit.

Is it easy to cheat? Of course it is! But what's the worse that can happen? I lose weight and get my money back! So not only do I want to lose my 4%...i want to be in first place and lose the most weight out of the 13 people in this group!!!

By the way, I've recently been addicted to Dirty Martinis. I've had one martini every night for the past week. I just found out that it's roughly 320 calories and 10g of fat!!! SNAP!

OK, tired of typing. Off to hit the punching bag!
