I'm a 27 year old female so of course I have tried every form of dieting I could think of in the past. I would do well for awhile, then backslide and be back to eat an ungodly amount of poutine while watching TV every night. Sorry, my Canadian-ness is showing - that is fries, cheese, and gravy for you American folks. While I would never be classified as "overweight" in terms of BMI, my terrible habits were putting me on the fast track to sweatpants as an everyday necessity. This summer, with the help of a friend, I started to utilize my apartment building's gym. Over the course of 5 months I dropped 15lbs. Not a lot, but I am now a size 2 for the first time in my life. Awesome, right! So why an I just introducing myself to you now? Well, I kind of made a mistake and I need your encouragement to fix it. This past weekend I went to a fancy, formal function on behalf of my work. There was free flowing alcohol, food and new people to mingle with. I got a little tipsy and pulled my coworker around to meet some of the brand managers. One product was offering to cover the fees for anyone that entered a race they were sponsoring. I had run a Mud Runner event last year and thought it would be fun to challenge myself. My time on the first 5k was awful and I was in much better shape today so why not? So after goading her with a few choice names, we signed up. It was then we were approached by a gentleman that said he was happy a women had finally signed up. I was a little surprised and asked him about the race. Turns out this isn't a fun jaunty 5k - it was almost 20k of military grade torture! So, there you have it. I have 281 days to do this. Wish me luck
