Oh Flow, I am not happy to see you!

According to my WomanLog app, I wasn't scheduled to start my period till Thursday, but I guess she was so happy to come see me, she arrived EARLY! Boo to her! I can always tell when I am about to start my period because I want to eat everything in sight. So, now that I have started, I can start my focus on this week and my food. This week I am going to completely eliminate ALL processed foods and start working my way back to real foods. I haven't ventured too far from real, but I have had several "cheat" days with the holidays and other events. Balls to the wall.

I spent the day at my parents house. It was such a beautiful day outside, but my mother's food has "southern" all over it. She cooked spaghetti because that's my son's favorite food, but she also made a caramel pie. Really? Who does that? My Mom, that's who. Like always, I ate way too much and felt like crap. As I was sitting on their porch, I cleared out my head and started to think about what I wanted and how I was going to get to the point where I need to be.

This was the perfect location to think about what I plan on achieving in 2014. So many goal, only 365 days to make it all happen. I feel fairly certain I will reach ALL of my goals next year.

End In Sight...

As 2013 comes to a close, I have so many things to be thankful for, but so many things I need to work on in 2014. I have made so many positive changes and I have come a long way, but many miles left to go. I was trying to think about want I want to work on in 2014 and I wanted to keep my goals realistic and something I can easily obtain. With that being said, here is what I plan to work on in the new year.

1. Lose more than 50lbs. (I wanted to put 100lbs., but that might be a stretch).
2. Complete a 5k
3. Walk/Run 50 miles a month
4. Complete C25k (I am currently on week 5)
5. Start a savings account. 

I think these things are a great start to getting myself exactly to where I want to be. I have been very fortunate to not be ill, but I want to fully take control of my health. I remembered earlier that today was a milestone for me, I haven't had a coke/diet coke in 5 month. Yippee!!!!!!! I made a commitment back in July that I was going to say goodbye once and for all to those drinks in the can and I HAVE!!!! Feels awesome to know that I have traded something so bad for something so awesome like yerba matte. 

Since I pooped out on boot camp and C25k this morning, I am heading out this afternoon. Until next time...
