FINISHEDDDDDD!!!! I can’t believe it is done. 365 days later, I have worked out and sweated everyday, regardless of what else I was doing in life. Thanks to everyone who has followed me throughout this journey, encouraged me, and sweated with me! In 2013, I completed both my Master of Business Administration and Master of Public Health, I started a fulltime job, I got engaged!!!, I was in a wedding (including a bachelorette party to Miami), I took a couple of family vacations, and a slew of other things. I’ve managed to maintain, build and create new relationships. I’ve had to examine what my priorities are because, yes there are still only 24 hours in a day. It has forced me to be really intentional with my time which is a good thing! Just like working out really hard for 20 minutes is just as beneficial, if not more, as working out moderately for a long time, the same goes for everything else in your life. Just because I spend 3 hours versus 30 minutes on something or someone, doesn’t mean that it is better quality. 2013 has been a year of self examination and dedication and after completing this goal, I really feel like I can do anything! I took each day, one at a time, slowly chipping away at a bigger picture and before I knew it, I had done 1 month 2 months, 6 months, and 12 months! What will I do during my first day of freedom??? I thought about not working out at all. I may, or I may not! But it has really become a part of my life and routine, I almost feel like I HAVE to do something. I have already signed up for a half marathon in February and after I’m done with that, I have 3 months to get into tip-top wedding shape!!! I did not workout yesterday (January 1), but I was back at it today. It has become such a part of my routine, it was weird doing absolutely nothing yesterday. I’m still examining my fitness goals for this year. I figured I would take a few days to just be, and then think of my next goal. Here’s a look at what I did the last few days of 2013.
Thursday: 3 mile run. I ran a few miles after work.
Friday: Crossfit. I met a coworker from lululemon at Crossfit in the evening. I really wasn’t feeling it, thank goodness for accountability!
Saturday: 5 mile run. I ran a drizzly 5 miles before grabbing a hot breakfast!
Sunday: 4 mile run. Before doing a few errands, I ran a few more miles with a friend.
Monday: Bootcamp. The first 20 minutes was pushing a sled up and down the football field. Tough work!
Tuesday: 45 minute walk. I ended the year on a calm note before celebrating the end of the year with a couple of friends.
