2014: It's A Wrap!

Penny at 7 months!

It's been pretty quiet on the blog throughout 2014. Part of this was due to my tendinitis (not a lot of races to write about when you are injured!) and part was just a focus on other things in my life, I squeaked in a few posts here and there, but I have a definite goal of tracking more on the blog in 2015. When I was first thinking about my year, I felt like it was uneventful and one that I'd like to just move on from. However, in reviewing the things that happened in 2014 (courtesy of a great chart in my Move Nourish Believe journal), it turned out to be a great year!

What Did I Make Happen in 2014?

  • New job with flexible remote working schedule
  • Dedicated time and effort to PT to achieve 90% recovery from patellar tendinitis
  • Successfully trained (a work in progress) a Goldendoodle puppy
  • Completed 150 Perfect Bricks 
  • Purchased a car for the first time since 2003
  • Cooked many healthy and delicious paleo and Whole 30 recipes
  • Participated in my first Crossfit Games (local level)
  • Joined the Hopkinton Rotary
  • Visited family in Tennessee and Minnesota
  • New blog logo (AE Designs)


What Didn't Work in 2014?

  • Food choice consistency
  • Not enough time dedicated to fasted morning cardio
  • Gym schedule consistency
  • Too little time spent with friends and loved ones
  • Did not complete any races
How Will I Change Things in 2015?

  • Blogging/Journaling
  • Focus early on choices: Whole 30 in January
  • Commit to 6-7 mornings of fasted cardio
  • Outreach friends and family--make plans!
  • Register for at least one 5K and sprint triathlon

There were several other useful charts in the MNB journal, so I highly encourage you to check it out on the Lorna Jane website. While I was not as active on the blog this year, I maintained an active social media presence through Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. I will continue to utilize those mediums as they are quick and effective.
