Well it took me a year to get here (actually, it's been almost 4 years since this journey began!), and I haven't been the best about updating weekly, but I've done my best to stay on track. I think I'm still going to blog about fitness in the new year, but maybe with a little bit of a looser structure. I'd still like to keep track of my weight, as I'm still a few pounds off from my goal. I think overall, this year was a success. From January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, I've gone from 217.4 to 193 pounds, almost a 25 pound loss for the year! If I can lose even half that in 2013, I'll be happy.
This year, I'm looking to increase my running speed and my overall muscle tone through targeted workouts. And I'm looking to get better at yoga. My personal training sessions expire January 31, so I'm looking to fulfill all of my credits before then and build up a great repertoire of workouts. And then, I might put some of that extra money into yoga classes for the new year! Anything to stay active and sharp.
And for food, I'm looking to continue my trend of cooking healthy lunches ahead of time, and focusing mainly on produce and lean protein. For the first couple weeks of January, I'm going to try to go light on the refined sugar, since I think that's what helped me put on a few pounds during the holidays, but like always, I'm not going to be too strict.
Here's to a happy and healthy 2013 for everyone, no matter what your goals!!
