2014 in review

Another year has come and gone.  It seems to me that the older I get the faster time goes.  I don't know where it goes but before we know it the year is gone.  

A year ago I sat down and set some goals for the year.  I planned to run 400k and one half marathon.  I met both of those goals.  I then amended my 400k goal to 600 or 700k.  I think I hit 600k but cannot be sure.  I stopped tracking distance a couple of months ago in an effort to find the love of running again.  It worked and I am ready to start tracking again.

I planned to take my lunch to work more and that seemed to sort of happen.  I think I took it more and when I did buy it I often made much healthier choices.  

I wanted to go away for my 10th anniversary.  That didn't happen.  There were a few reasons for that.  We didn't really have anyone who was able to watch the girls for the whole weekend and we were saving for a trip to Florida.  In a week we will leave for Florida so that worked out.  We did get several camping trips in this summer just not anything alone.  I'm okay with that.

I have decided that 2015 is my year.  I love my family but I don't always love myself. It's time to love me again.  They will adjust and we will all be happier.  I am reluctant to set any specific goals because the ones floating in my head might be a bit lofty.  So for now I am going to set monthly mini goals.  For January it is going to be a move everyday challenge.  I'm going take advantage of the beautiful weather in Florida and run everyday while there.  I'm going to run 3.7 miles on my birthday.  For the rest of the the movement can be fun or hard but it has to be movement.  We bought a dancing game for Christina and she loves it so on the days I can't get to the gym we can bust that out.  As long as I move I've met the goal.

I'm probably the healthiest I have ever been and am going to make 2015 my healthiest year ever.

December is here!!

I can't believe it is the last month of the year!  This year has gone by way too fast.  November was a good month all around. I was able to get to the gym a lot.  I started to go to a new class which is so fun.  It's called Group Power and it is a full body strength training class.  It's tough and feels awesome at the end.  I'm back to going to Gravity and CycleFit too.  Running was good in November.  I did mostly treadmill runs and didn't track my mileage.  I would estimate that I ran 10 times for about 50k total.  Not bad when you add it to the other classes.  

Eating wasn't spectacular.  I do really well lol day the in the evenings things get a little out of hand.  

My goal for this month is to keep things going as is and to keep my whits about me when it comes to all the holiday eating.
