I checked, it was September 6 the last time I posted something on here. That was, oh, about 4 months ago. That was probably around the last time I was also really serious about this whole getting healthy thing. I mean I've had spurts off and on since then but nothing to write home about... or shall I say blog about. But the New Year is coming and that means time to take a look at the progress I made this year and figure out how to continue making progress next year.
So first thing I did was check out the obligatory Christmas Eve pictures.
I went back over the last three Christmas Eve pictures and almost couldn't believe the differences. And in all fairness the 2012 picture was not my heaviest. I gained quite a bit of weight the spring after that picture and started this fitness journey in the summer of 2013.
Pictures help me see the progress so much more than anything else. But Christmas pictures are often one of my only consistent resources, as I'd much rather be taking the pictures than be in the pictures. So next let's check the numbers. I only lost about 35 pounds last year (about 65 total). I can definitely do better, but I won't complain. I'm very thankful I didn't gain 35 pounds. If I could lose another 35 this year I'd be ecstatic. (And then another 35 the next and I'd be pretty close to goal, haha)
I'm finishing out 2014 reading the Daniel Plan, working on some 2015 goals and just reflecting on the past year. I will definitely try to update New Years Day what some of those goals are, and just how I think 2014 went overall. I also really hope to get back to posting here more often, at least checking in weekly.
I'd love to hear from you! Let me know if you have any goals for 2015 or if you met your goals for 2014!
