New Years

Okay so we are 20 days in and I haven't blogged once! AH! I have so many ideas that are whirling around in my head. I am excited about today, one it's a snow day, two it's really the start of my New Year. So here is my New Year's Resolution. Make a new goal evey week. This worked so well. I love moneysavingmom.com as she breaks them down to personal, family, financial LOVE IT! I am going to give it a go.
So first things first...
Remember those pounds I lost, well guess what? I found them, poor little pumpkins were so scared they jumped right back on my hips. So goal next week lose 2-3 lbs. I am not to surprised as we went from eating out maybe twice a month to every day for a week. Those little celebration calories add up quick!
Mmmmmm... I wish I was that chic that just didn't eat it, but I'm not. With that being said it could have been worse I did manage a few workouts and I did manage a PR of 4miles at under 32 minutes. I was well rested, it was flat, and I don't think it will happen again for a while. I have lost A LOT of mileage in the last few weeks. The dark has created a problem... I don't like running it. It feels unsafe and it makes me feel vulnerable. I guess it really hit me after the news released what happened to Sharry Arnold. My heart is broken for she and her family. I will be running with mace, as it is prudent. I won't stop running because of  it either. I don't understand that kind of evil, but pray for her family's comfort.

Buy that mace too.
So on a lighter note.

  2. I know, I have to get brave and just get it done. It's a short sacrifice and worth it if I do it safely!! The sun will be back very soon!!!
