Anything You Can Do...

There's nothing like a little friendly competition to propel me towards my goals!

I went away for a few days last week and came back to discover that another one of my very good friends has started a blog as well. Love that this trend is catching on, and love, love that it might translate to a little more motivation ;)

So back to my friend's blog: http://couchto25k.blogspot.com/. She's been at it for less than a week and she's already doing better than I have in over two months! Not to be outdone, this only means it's time to step up my game! In order to do that I should probably start by cleansing my body of all that I gorged on while on my little mini-break. If there was a competition on how much bread and cheese one could consume in 2 days, I'd be in the running! And that's not all, I actually got to the point where the thought of another french fry made me want to dry heave. How many french fries do you have to eat to get to that point? Answer: A LOT!

Yesterday I made a big bowl of Quinoa salad to pack for lunch this week. I figure I can get at least three servings out of one batch, which saves me the trouble of deciding what to bring for lunch for a few days. Quinoa is low in calories and very good for you. Hooray! Competition's on!

To be honest, there's really no competition at all. My wee friend has been little in both height and weight since I've known her. She might have gone from a size 2 to a 4 (unlikely) since she got married, but she'll be back on track in no time and, of course, I'll be behind her all the way (both in a supportive way and likely physically lagging waaay behind).
