Happy New Year everyone! I hope that you all had an excellent New Years and Christmas. I took several days off work and spent them at home with my family. It was relaxing and great. I slept in every day, ran or worked out in the afternoons (or not at all), went shopping, went to dinner and movies, cleaned out old junk I haven't touched in ages, and just relaxed and hung out! It was wonderful, and was a great way to end 2009 and bring in 2010.
After so many days of relaxation and rest I felt ready to take on 2010 with new energy and motivation!! So, instead of making Resolultions, I began an actual plan. I figured that since actions speak louder than words I would actually start something new instead of just talking about what new things I wanted to start.
The first part was to cut out sugary and diet sodas, and I began this right after Christmas. I've done this several times before, but had always caved in after about 5-10 days. The next step, after New Years, was to start on a healthier eating plan - healthy, natural foods with as limited processed foods as possible.
I've already got a pretty good handle on my exercising, so the only thing I need to do there is set some goals to give me some things to work towards. My first two fitness goals are the ING Georgia Half Marathon in March, and the Warrior Dash in May. I know that I need some additional goals, so am still on the lookout for things that are new and challenging - like the Warrior Dash.
This year I don't want to just test my physical limits, I want to grow emotionally as well. The Warrior Dash is part of that because it has obstacles that scare me - like repelling, swimming under logs, and jumping across floating platforms. It will force me to face my fears of hieghts and water, yet it will incllude aspects I love like running and competing wtih friends.
I want 2010 to be a year of expansion and growth. I want to push beyond my comfort zone, try new things, do what makes me uncomfortable, and succeed in ways I never thought possible! This way I can expect 2010 to be one of my best years yet!
What do your plans for 2010 look like? Will you stay comfortable, or will you reach for new heights? Will you just "make" Resolutions, or will you actually implement and begin a new plan? What kind of year will 2010 be for you?
