Here I sit, in bed, unable to sleep. Christmas is ten days away. I think about how my Christmas wish list has changed so much in the past year. Before, I was asking for movies, video games, household things, etc. This year the top two things on my list are:

1.  Polar heart rate monitor.



2. Yurbuds

I cannot tell you how many pair of earbuds I have gone through this year just at the gym alone. I think its finally time to invest in a good pair, and these have great reviews!
Other things I would like to find under the tree? Running shoes, workout clothes, arm band for my phone. All items to fit into my new active lifestyle and keep me moving forward.

I am excited for 2014. Not that these last few weeks of 2013 will be sedentary, but I have big plans for 2014. I have several goals. I'm proud of my progress in 2013, and I plan to blow it out of the water in 2014.
I will be starting Turbofire on January 13th. (I want to start on  a Monday to easily track my weeks, but the first Monday in January we will be in the hospital with Connor) So, January 13th it is. Turbofire is a 20 week program, so I will be finishing round 1 the week of Memorial day. I figure that will be a great jump on the summer. Depending on where I am at that point- I'm thinking about getting my hands on a copy of P90X. I've done it before, but never finished it out.

Here are some of my goals for 2014:


  • RUN my first 5K 
  • Go completely gluten free
  • Enter ONEderland! (for the first time in 14 years) 
  • Begin training for a half marathon. 
These are just a few goals I have in mind right now. I may add to them as I get started.
