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.
