First Post: I'm doing an Obstacle Course Race!

Whatever brings you here -- whether you're looking for training tips, healthy weight loss ideas, an accountability tool, or you're just plain curious -- welcome to my blog! My very fun, first post will be an introduction to this site, although really it's an introduction to me. =P

Why the name spartantarte? I'm training for a Spartan Race! So after I finish it I will be a Spartan! And tarte because.. I'm sassy.. and it's one of my favorite makeup brands... sure. The name is what it is.



Wow look at how scary their logo looks. Why did I sign up for this?

Now. What in my right mind would inspire me to do a Spartan Race? Plenty of things: 
-My sister said asked me to join her team. If it weren't for her, trust, I would never have signed up, or started this blog, for that matter.
-It sounds fun. Crazy, but fun
-My brother is also doing it! Fam time!
-I'm reaching my late twenties, and I don't want to turn into an obese couch potato
-Pushing myself to do the impossible will be really good for me
-It gives me a goal to accomplish, and it's one I actually want to see through
-I can get my fit (dancer) body back, evidence below
-Or an even better body =D
-To enjoy a healthy lifestyle
-To be able to do fun, sports-y things with my friends without embarrassing myself
-For my future husband to be able to enjoy a healthy and fit workout buddy
-This list is not exhaustive.

What will you find here? Some things to keep myself accountable, things I'm learning along the way, and some things I'm doing right or wrong.

Also, as you're reading this and you get inspired to JOIN me in doing the race, click here to register, but get on my team! Email me to get the team name and password.

Now for a sassy picture of my former self circa 2010. It doesn't matter how skinny/fat I think am. What matters is that I have the confidence to pose for a picture in a bra top (that's me in the bra top, next to two other fabulous and fierce dancers J. Hu and C. Ren)

which we pulled together in three rehearsals..

Toodles!
