Well's Weighs In

So I didn't get a chance to tell about something else I'm doing to hold myself accountable. I have joined with a team of girls at work to enter a contest in our area called Well's Weighs In. Its a fun contest, developed on the Biggest Loser concept. You get into teams of 4, women or men and are weighed once a month. It is over a 3 month time span.

Thursday was the first weigh-in. I knew how much I weighed, but still was nervous about anyone else seeing what I weighed. I had to go in while I was on my lunch, which was difficult, because I still had to eat lunch and I only get 30 minutes. If you ask anyone that really knows me you know that it takes me 30 minutes to eat lunch not to mention doing something else in that time too. So I rushed to the back of the store (we were getting lunch that day) and guess what no food. They started whipping some up and I ate as fast as I could. I don't think I remember what it even really tasted like except the pancakes were really good. I then ran out to my Jeep and had to scrape the windows do to a layer of snow and ice and then high tale it to the weigh-in.

Once at the place it was fairly simple and straight forward. Sign your life away, get all the paperwork, take off you coat and shoes and hop on the scale. Of course I get the scale with the cutest guy working there. Of course he has to see that I'm a cow. Oh well what the heck, I figure he's been doing this all day, because I have been talking to other people that were also getting weighed and they were talking about him. My weight shouldn't surprise him all that bad. I was right, he didn't even bat an eye. I raced back to my shoes and coat and threw those on (this is meant pretty literally since I think I almost hit someone with my coat), almost ran back to my car, jumped in and took off. I have to admit it took me longer than 30 minutes (not surprising if you know me), but I really tried. I did I promise.

So my hope with joining this program? My hope is that I am no longer just accountable to myself, but to other people as well. I work with these people almost everyday, so we can talk about how we are doing. Hopefully we can push each other to attain our goals and support each other when needed. This is another avenue to help all of us improve our health and feel a little better about ourselves. My hope is that we prevail with our goals to ourselves and each other, even if we don't win anything.

Well I think I had better go. I'll tell you about my first official P90X workout tomorrow.
