Are you ready for 2015?
/
Can you believe it's 2015 already?! I cannot! I remember when I thought 25 was old and that by 30 I'd be married, have kids, own a house, etc. Ummmm....yeah....so I'm 33 and none of those things are true. I have a great relationship and while I wish I had kids and a house, I have a ton of fun in my life outside of school and work, have had a great career, am making a shift to a new career field, and have finished half of my classes for a doctorate (dissertation not included). I refuse to focus on the negative and instead on the positive.
Here's some things I did accomplish in 2014:
- Started a doctorate
- Moved on from an unhealthy relationship
- Found my partner in life who is dearly loved by me, my family, and friends
- Ran 4 5K Races while constantly improving my time
- Started eating Paleo (and began this blog)
- Began a part-time job as a writer for a creative outlet
- Found a new job in a software company in Corporate America (a goal of mine)
It's the new year and I'm starting a new job on January 12th which will allow me greater flexibility in actually cooking and working out. Wow...I cannot wait! I've also spent the last month not eating well, not working out, being stressed out, and completely exhausted. Let's just say I'm not feeling so great after the past month and while I dread going back to strict eating, my body is screaming at me in multiple ways to do it.
I don't believe in new year's resolutions. The choice to be healthy is an ongoing process and can start at any time of the year. What is your choice going to be and why are you starting it? For me, I'm going to try out Crossfit. Honestly, I'm scared. It looks so tough and I'm pretty out of shape right now. But I have friends who love it and swear by it. And you know what? I want to see physical results. I've got my sous chef and accountability buddy in Michelle and I need to combine exercise with eating. It's a partnership that I want to commit to. I encourage you to ask me in 3 months how I'm doing!
So what's your choice? What do you commit to doing for the next 3 months? This is my challenge to you. Be you! Do you! Love you! Be the best version of you for yourself and no one else!
