I Joined a Track Team!

Posted by Dar | September 26, 2010 .

I joined a track team!!! Can you believe it? I am pretty excited about! Okay…Okay…it is probably not the type of track team you are thinking about. I actually joined a team who has committed to keep track of everything we eat! That's right or I should say WRITE! We are committed to keeping a daily food journal. And guess what? It works!

The first week of our track meet we had lots of trackers who lost, well won, but they lost! They tracked everything and I was amazed at all the losses! Yes you heard me right. At our track meets you actually want to LOSE!!! And Loseapalooza they did! Three pounds, two pounds, one pound, three pounds, two and one half pounds, two pounds, four pounds…it when on and on! My problem is that I didn't join the track team during our first week tryouts! I tried out but didn't make it….You see I tried out in my head! I tried to keep it all in my head, but I would forget about all the stuff I took a bite of or ate and tried to ignore. It just didn't work…so what did I do at my last Weight Watcher meeting? I didn't weigh in of course!

But after everyone's triumphant weight losses, I decided to try out for the track team again! All was well until I got to the first hurdle on day 2, I didn't quite make it over and my journal fell into the dark depths of my briefcase. On day 4 I jumped the next hurdle and decided I was going to get to our track meet on Saturday as loser. So I got my journal back out and wrote everything down I had eaten on day 3 and day 4! Now I was flying over the hurdles! And success it was! I made it to our Saturday morning track meet with a 1.8 pound loss! I thought that was pretty great considering I didn't quite clear a couple of the hurdles!

I challenge all my readers to join the track team now! You WILL come out a loser!

Great idea Dar! I’m going to see if I can’t start my own track team – maybe even organize a couple for a little friendly and supportive head-to-head competition.
