Yesterday my darling partner Phil and I participated in one of our local radio stations golf tour!! We golfed at a course about an hour's drive away from here and the course was awesome. I love golf, even though most days, it is the most frustrating sport known to mankind I think!! Phil is an awesome golfer and our rule when we put on our shoes and start walking to the course, is simple "Let's have fun and no lessons, unless I ask you for them". And this rule seems to work~~it didn't before but now we are both at ease when swinging the club!!
Whilst walking the course, carrying my bag for 240 mins (man that got me a boatload of AP's ;) ), I started thinking about the comparisons of golf and WW and food tracking!
I have come to the conclusion that the only one you compete against is YOU, YOURSELF, the person that looks back at you from the mirror.
As much as I would love to not count this stroke here, that putt there, that crappy drive on that hole, it is not going to make me improve, now is it? The same goes for tracking food points in WW's. How is my game to get any better, if I don't count all the strokes and how are my pants going to fall off my hips, if I don't count all that put in my yap a day?
So, that is my committment to myself this golf season/WW season...to be honest, faithful, dedicated and compassionate about golf and healthy lifestyles choices (remember I don't like the word DIET!!)
So I ask all of us on here that have started this blogging and WW journey, to do exactly that...be honest about your tracking of food points and activity points and that in turn, will make us all better in every aspect of our lives..relationships, finances, friendships, tracking, blogging et al.
I love the quote I have added at the end of my writing......
Cheers!!
