I won my first Diet Bet!

So, its official...I WON MY FIRST DIET BET!

I am still waiting to find out how much money I get (probably $10 max). It was awesome, and I probably made it because I haven’t been able to ate like normal due to being in the hospital 4 times in 5 days after a severe allergic reaction to what we think is tree nuts and then having an adverse reaction to the steroid they put me on. I also relaxed and tried a sauna for the first time <3

In total, I lost 6.8 lbs in 4 weeks :) I will be signing up for my next Diet Bet once I get my money/points back!

Update on Workouts

So yesterday marks the 5th day that I have used the weight machines at the gym and I am so addicted, I can barely wait for my rest days to go by!

I found out last week that I am severely allergic to what we think is tree nuts (my throat closed and I couldn’t breathe...), but I have still kept up with my workouts.

I also have gotten over my fear of working out with other people in the gym, which is nice. Not to mention, I finally convinced myself to use the Smith machine for squats <3

Today is a rest day, but I have intramural volleyball and tomorrow I am back to the gym!

Keep it up rebels!

My first Sauna Experience!

So I finally decided to try the sauna in my school for the first time! Why I haven’t done this before, is beyond me. I LOVE heat, it’s so relaxing. Not to mention the smell of the wood.

First of all make sure you find out if the sauna is a wet or dry sauna. If it is a dry sauna DO NOT pour water on anything. It does not need it, hence why it is called a DRY sauna.

The sauna at my school is a wet sauna.

Because no one had used it, I turned it on for 40 minutes and let it warm up. At the 30 minute mark, I reset the time to 20 minutes and went in wearing just a pair of shorts and sports bra. Remember to bring your towel to lay or sit on.

Once inside, if it is a WET sauna, use the ladle to pour one scoop of water on the stones. Be careful! There will be very hot steam that comes off the stones, so keep your pouring hand as high up as possible when you do it!

Sit back an enjoy and don’t forget to keep a water bottle with you to keep hydrated :)

I couldn’t wait to hit the gym tonight. 10pm is my favorite workout time :) Had a guy show up during my last 10 minutes and hooked his music up to the gum stereo. Normally this is fine but he was blaring it so loud I could feel the base…. I hate causing conflict so I finished the last of my routine and left.

On the bright side I got new gloves ♡♥ Also my shirt = awesome!

Machine Preacher Curls

-8 reps, 3 sets, 30 lbs

Dietbet and Weight Loss Update!

As of this morning I weighed 163.8 lbs! Down again! :D

For my Dietbet I have lost 3.4 lbs out of 6.7 that I need to lose, so I am over half way  and have 2 weeks left (half the time left).

I am still going for daily walks and doing archery!

Off to a good start!
