This year, I turned 30… something I had been dreading for years. On my 26th birthday, I called my mother crying because I was closer to 30 than I had been yesterday. Yes, I was ridiculous. No, there really was nothing that big about turning 30. And with that, I’ve embraced entering my third decade in this universe. So as I sit and think of New Year’s Resolutions, or more so, my hopes and dreams for 2015, I have decided to use 30 as the theme.
Health/Fitness Goals :
Over all, my dream is to be more fit and healthy, with an eventual marathon under my belts #CauseI’mCrazy – Strike through means completed.
1. Make healthy meals for lunches and breakfast.
Original Goal – Changed due to Pregnancy – Half Marathon – I was signed up for my first Half (13.1 miles) at the end of November, but unfortunately was unable to make it due to a nasty case of Bronchitis. 2015 will be my year!
2. Trip to Boston – I have been avoiding going to see my foot doctor, out of fear of the unknown. My foot feels great, so I haven’t wanted to get x-rays or anything. Time to be an adult.
3. 5k in under 30 mins – For many this is an easy goal, but I’ve been averaging around 37/38 mins. I want to get under that 30 min mark.
4. Complete the PiYo 60 day challenge – I love PiYo and its blend of yoga and pilates. Not only does it make you more flexible (and serene), but also is low impact (compared to running) and makes you stronger.
5. Eat breakfast every morning
6. Run 10 races (I did 5 in 2014)
7. Be active 3 x a week
Original Goal – Changed due to Pregnancy – Run 30 miles a month
8. Drink 8 cups of water each day – I am terrible at this and proper hydration is SO IMPORTANT.
9. Go to the Dentist
10. Pregnancy Weight Gain – 25lbs
Original Goal – Change due to Pregnancy – Lower my body fat percentage to 20%
