Embarking on a New Year

I’m not a fan of the expression “New Year, New You.” Just because the year has changed, doesn’t mean you aren’t still you.  It doesn’t mean you woke up in a different house, or with a different life. What today is, just like yesterday is a chance to make healthy decisions, be kind to people and be a positive influence in others’ lives. I’m not one to typically make New Year’s resolutions either, but I’ve set a lot of goals for myself for 2017. What can I say, I got caught up in the fireworks and confetti J

I’m holding myself accountable and putting my goals out there for the world to see. I’m humbling myself and asking for your support and any guidance you’re willing to give. Breathe in, breathe out. Here they are in no particular order:

• _-             Start a blog J
• _-             Run a half marathon
• _-             Run a full marathon
• _-             Become a Beachbody Live instructor/Group exercise instructor
• _-             Run a race with my husband and kiddos
• _-             Read every night to my kids
• _-             Go on a date night at least once a month with my husband
• _-             Participate in more church activities
• _-             Continue to help people on their fitness journey as a health and wellness coach
• _-             And more to come, I’m sure!

When my two boys were still young enough to go out for runs/walks in the double jogging stroller with me (sigh, they are now too big L), they were always great cheerleaders…, “You can do it, momma!” they’d encourage me. So, as I set out to tackle this list, I’m focusing on their positive energy and inviting you to come along on my journey as I train for my races and attempt to cross off the items on this list – the good, the bad and the ugly! Happy New Year! Alicia
