Happy New Year! Hope everyone had holidays that were more laughter than tears, more fun than chaos and more relaxing then stressful! We have three kids and made a whirlwind trip from Greensboro to Richmond to Northern Virginia and back in the span of 4 days, so we had a little of all of those things. Overall, it was nice but exhausting!
Now that we're home and recovered from the holiday madness, I'm back! I'm not usually one to make resolutions, but Abby had learned about them this year and was asking so we all made them this year. (Well, sort of.) Austin said he would try to be a better listener. Abby said she wanted to eat healthier. Dan said he made them, but I never heard what they were. As for me, here you go:
1) Start the year off with another round of the 21 day fix.
I'd done a round with quite a bit of success this past summer, and actually enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it's pretty difficult to maintain as a vegetarian that doesn't really cook, so I fell off. I put back on a few of the pounds I've lost and need to lose them again. Today is day 2, and so far, so good!
2) Get myself and Abby ready for our race in February.
Abby and I have done 4 5k races together. In February, we will attempt our first 10k together (it will be my third, but one I was pregnant for and just ended up walking the whole thing) in Disney World. Abby is in pretty decent shape, but not nearly enough to get through a 10k. She had a big growth spurt this summer and hasn't really gotten her fitness level back yet. She's done soccer, running club, basketball and swimming but she still needs to train to get safety get through this one. Not to mention, I have not run much at all recently and getting myself through this race should be interesting! 6 weeks to go...I'll keep you posted!
3) Write every day.
I won't be here every day, but I would like to write something every day. I started this blog back up because I enjoy writing and to keep a record of our life with little ones. I can't even count the number of times I've started a blog post in my head and then never actually written anything because life got in the way or it seemed like too much trouble to pull out the macbook instead of being on my phone. Hopefully, if I get in the habit of doing it every day, I'll just end up blogging more too. Not to mention, I have three little kids and my brain is fried. Maybe using it for more than nursery rhymes and refereeing fights will help me feel a bit more together? We're on day 3 of the new year and this is the first time I've actually pulled out the computer, so we shall see how this one turns out.
That's all I could come up with that I could realistically keep up with. I could pull out some pie in the sky goals, but I know I won't likely accomplish them so I'm not going to waste my time!
Be back soon! (Hopefully?)
