Ode to Sporty Spice

This post isn't really about my secret affinity for the Spice Girls. Even though I admit to watching Spice World more than once. DON'T JUDGE ME!

Well, I've been tracking my food for a week now. I think I've done pretty well with those goals and was even able to salvage yesterday's goal after an Einstein's soup and bagel run. I'm a sucker for some broccoli cheese soup and an asiago bagel.

Now I've come to the part where I need to get back on the exercise bandwagon. Athletic definitely is not a word I would use to describe myself, but I have aspirations. Last fall Gomefry and I ran a 5k with my coworkers and friends. My goal was to run the majority of the time. We trained, or I should say, I trained and Gomefry ran at my slowpoke pace. Jah-Jah teased me mercilessly about the fact that I had to train to run 3 miles and he can wake up one morning and decide to do a 10k. My ego is going to attribute his accomplishment to being fifteen.

After the 5k I stopped running and, consequently, losing weight. Now I'm starting from scratch again and kicking myself for not sticking with the program. I have dreams of being a triathlete, or just one of those sporty women who look cute at the gym. Both sound fantastic. So now I'm going to start my whole running (jog/walk) regime and maybe work towards a 10k or a triathlon in the spring. Maybe when I'm the big 4-0 I'll be in shape enough to do the eco-challenge.
