Mic check one two what is this?

Abandoning my blog...Thats so 2013.....

Here we are. A fresh start, 2014 - I'm ringing in the new year with a real bastard of a cold and a blizzard.  My plans of biking on New Years Day and getting my running SH together are mere puffs of smoke in my nyquil/dayqil basted brain.   

But there is hope. 

And a new plan.

And a desire to feel healthy like I once did.

And to fit into my killer wardrobe like I once did.

Truth - I gained 30 pounds in 2013.  Yes. I. Did.

How? Basically two things happened.

1.  I drank too much

2.  I chose to ignore the warning signs and thought I was above the law.

2a.  Meaning, I stopped following the rules and spent way too much time partying.

3.  I regret nothing.....well maybe the excessive amount of french fries I ate

3a.  Seriously, I don't regret a good time

4.   Moving forward, I chose health over drinking and eating stupid shit.

These are the things I propose to do about it.

Love my friends and know that I don't have to drop everything to hang out all the time and even though they like to drink - I have to put my health first and that means riding my bike and taking care of me first and meeting up for party time second - I will not schedule my workouts around party time.  Its got to be the other way around.

Have a workout plan each week and stick to it 90% of the time - I am training for a half marathon.

The Band - it might be time to take some fluid out of the oh so tight band.  I have learned how to eat around it and have not been eating healthy

Food - cut out sugary foods and focus on whole foods.  

Here's to a new year! Fresh Start!
