Goals...

In the past I've been a very goal oriented person.  But since graduating from college, that has kind of disappeared...  partly because this was not the the future I envisioned for myself (not that it's bad, but living in Salt Lake and my current job was not ever something I pictured) and life just seems to be out of my control.  Since the New Year, I have felt guilty about my lack of direction... and while I can't control some things, I can try to make some changes in my life.  So here are two of my goals for this year.

FIRST - to be more physically active.  The rest of me works better when I am active.  So my friend Rena and I meet three days a week before work and go running.  We're kind of stuck at 2 miles, but we'll get over it.  My goal within a goal is to run (from start to finish - I know I can finish a race, but I want to RUN a whole race) first a 5 K and before the end of the year, a 10 K.  If I can get that far, I would like to try a half marathon...  no desire to do a full marathon though (unlike my friends Missy and Cherie - you go girls!!)

SECOND - to eat better.  Life has been so crazy the last year and especially the last 6 months or so that I rarely eat dinner - no time to grocery shop, no time to plan menus and no time to cook, and a girl can only eat so many bowls of cereal or bagels...  And with no dinner leftovers, that means nothing for lunch.  I'm still working on finding a good solution for all of this...  I have become a customer of Dream Dinners (like My Girlfriend's Kitchen or Supper Solutions), and that's helping, but I still have a long ways to go.  Any suggestions or favorite easy recipes would be greatly appreciated!!

I will try to keep my blog updated with my progress and other goals...
