Bet Number 2: Get to 200 or Under by October 31.
August 1: 218.4, down 2.6 pounds from yesterday.
The original check was shredded and destroyed. I gave that money to Give Directly.
Notice how my weight is higher than 215? Yeah, about that. I gained 6 pounds in 3 days after the end of the bet. I did some celebrating, and didn't watch myself at parties. That's maybe OK, as I've seen upticks like that before. Or, maybe it means the bet isn't forming habits. Either way, having the incentive structure in place works.
I thought about changing the incentive or the goal to something besides weight. Ultimately, this is really easy to measure and tied to a lot of my health concerns. It makes me both exercise more and eat less, in particular less shit.
