Not Engaged Yet

12 week bet/challenge

This past Friday, my bf and I went out with our friends to Club Risque (a strip club).  It was myself, my bf, 2 of our mutual girl friends (they're sisters), and their boyfriends.  The one girl just had a baby back in December (just before Christmas) so this was her first night out since having the baby. 

Anyhow, while sitting at the bar talking, a girl came up to us, topless, and we were talking. After she walked away (and taking a dollar from each of us), I mentioned to my boyfriend that I had USED to look like that (toned body, 6 pack abs, flat stomach, toned arms, etc) prior to having my son.  He said that he remembers me that way in HS.  I then said that if I did the kettleworx routine for 12 weeks, I could get back to possibly looking like that. 

He was like, alright.  Here's the challenge - you do your kettleworx thing to get in shape, with in 12 weeks and I'll give you $100.  However, if I can't do it, I pay him $100.  We shook on it. 

Well, I'm purchasing the kettleworx stuff tomorrow night. I am GOING to do this.  Not for the $100 that I'd be getting to get the next kettle bell size up, but for the ability to get back into shape.  I'm not horrible looking, but I have a baby belly pouch that I can't seem to get rid of.  A few of my co-workers have been doing it and they lost a significant amount of weight.  I just can't wait to shock the pants off my boyfriend!!  I know I can do this.

Have any of you ever bet your bf/fi/dh for money? I don't think he'll actually give me the $100, but if he does I really think it's going to go to the size 10lb bell (I'm starting at 5lbs).

    I never bet FI but my family and I did the Biggest Loser a couple years ago. We all put up $100, whoever lost the highest % won the money (2nd place got their money back). My bosses heard about it and each bet me $1000 (they're loaded, clearly). I ended up winning $2700 which I put to good use when we travelled to Berlin & Paris. It was awesome. Is this the Club Risqué in Philly? ETA money is a good motivator. Good luck!

    That sounds like fun.  I don't want to lose weight per say, I just want to tone up. 

    It's the club in Bristol, PA...I believe it's off 413...About a 10 minute drive (or so) from Brian's Harley Davidson on Bus. Rt. 1....

    ETA: I'm posting and running. Didn't get to bed until almost 1am this morning and was up at 5:30...I'm exhausted.

  • rdr: $2700?! I would definitely find the motivation to kick my own ass if that kind of money was on the line! Haha LoveBug: I've never bet BF money, but it sounds like it will help motivate you, so that's great! That's also a great idea to challenge yourself and use the money to buy the next heavier set so you can just keep getting stronger. Good luck!

    Yea, $100 isn't much, but it's something! Plus, I've been wanting to get my lovehandles/baby belly gone....I've had them for almost 11 years and I want them GONE!

    Here's to motivation!
