Welcome to 2014- no where but healthier from here

What a year 2013 was! I ran my second marathon, ran the biggest 10k in the country, have the worlds greatest supporters and found that I enjoy getting muddy in mud races. Well, one might ask what's in store in 2014?? Im not completely sure but here is what I know:

This is how far I've come! 

But more work is needed and I was not good over the holidays- so I know this- moving on and making better choices! 

 

*Continue operation kill my muffin top!! I have gained a few pounds- ok 6 maybe 7 depending on the day. No biggie most would say but I have not lost over 100 for nothing and I refuse to undo years of hard work! I just got a fitbit and am pretty excited to use it and to finish this crazy ride with getting to 135!!! 

*im going to run a marathon on my birthday!! Not only is it on my birthday but in my favorite city in the world!! ST. Louis!! ' Woohoo! I and her ironman husband convinced my friend Beth that a marathon was a good idea! Lol she may hate me by the end of this ;-) 

*Continue to work my butt off at the gym giving everything I do my all!! I want to become stronger and leaner this year! 

*Make sure I make time for me in the midst of my busy life

*Make time for my friends!! Old and New!! Remember it's not all about running and racing- enjoy each other outside of these things! 

*Try a dinner club- see if I can force my friends to commit to one night a month 

So here it is!!! The muffin top- this photo is of me about 5lbs lighter than I am now but this what has got to go! I know and understand that I have 100lbs of skin but I can and will tighten and firm this sucker more than ever before this year!! No girl wants that hanging over every pair of pants!!! So there it is 2014- my inner demon the reveal of the muffin top!!! It will get small! It has shrunk! It was one called the monster but is not a little monster but needs to be an itty bitty monster!!! So all my friends if it's bad for me and I'm about to eat it- knock it out of my hands!!!
