So, as for my New Year’s resolutions…I haven’t been as on track as I had hoped. It’s been a tough 2012 to start and I have allowed the stress to get to me. No longer allowing myself to make excuses here is where I stand on working toward my goals (not just my New Year’s goals but my 101 list as well):
1. I didn’t eat paleo every meal in January; however, I did better than expected considering my stress level. My CrossFit gym started a nutrition challenge on Jan. 31 and aside from two meals in week 1 I stuck to it!
2. Run 3 times a week…I was doing well at this but then I got sick so I stalled. I signed up for a 5K on April 28 so I need to get back on track if I want to be able to run the entire thing! Run a 5K is also number 3 on my 101 list so I can’t wait to get to be able to check that off as an accomplishment.
3. CrossFit 3 times a week. Ok, 2 out of 4 weeks I did this, again stress and sick (I swear I think the two go hand in hand!) but I can say I went at least once or twice every week since the year began and the week of Jan. 31 I did go 3 times.
4. Every day remind yourself of something you’re grateful for. Some days were better than others. We’re all human, we all forget to remember and we all need to remember
5. I haven’t lost sight of my end goal and every day is a new day…and I just get up, smile (ok maybe not smile, for those of you who know me I’m so NOT a morning person), but I get up, get coffee, and then smile, and face the challenges of that day head on and know that one day I will find myself on the other side of my end goal.
6. On March 6 I will be taking a knife skills class and that is number 40 on my 101 list and I can’t wait to get better with the knives in the kitchen. Mostly so I don’t end up one of these days with my thumb in my meal!
That in a nutshell is where I’m at. I feel like 2012 is going to be a year of amazing things, great changes, and happy times to come as well as I looked forward to accomplishing many, many goals. One goal I want to add for 2012 that isn’t on my 101 list is to do at least ONE pull up by the end of the year without a band. Those things kill me but I won’t let them win! This year is about ME winning!
