It’s a new year. A new beginning, right? Time for resolutions, right? Wrong. Resolutions are worthless.
Instead of making a resolution that will most likely be broken in two weeks, one should set goals. Measurable goals. Instead of saying “I’m going to eat better” or “I’m going to exercise more”. A SMART goal would be one that can be tracked, like “I’m going to eat 25 grams of fiber every day” or “I’m going to work out 5 days every week”.
I signed up for Run to the Finish’s #BestFoot Challenge.
I love the idea of giving the new year a theme. One word to sum up the whole year.
My word for 2013 is ….. Progress.
I want to see progress in …. my career, my fitness goals, my marriage, my life. I want to look back on 2013 and say ‘that was my year’! The number 13 is not unlucky at all. In fact, I believe ’13 is going to be the best year yet!!
Fitness Goals:
On January 7th, I will start the Best Body Boot Camp, let by Tina Reale. I’ve been following her blog and her Instagram. I admire her a lot (and we have a lot in common)- she’s a wife, a mom, a blogger, and she’s a Certified Personal Trainer. I’m really excited to see what kind of workouts she will create for us.
On April 7th, I will run in my 6th Half Marathon. I’m hoping to set a new PR. I’d love to beat 2:09, but as long as it’s faster than 2:16:01 (last year’s time), I’ll be happy!
Fitness/ Career Goals:
And to let you all in on a little secret …. I am currently studying for the Personal Trainer Certification through ACE Fitness. I would like to take the test sometime in the next 12 weeks, so that I can then study for the Health Coach exam after that. My goal would be to have a Health Coach certification by June 1st.

I have other, smaller goals. But those are the ones I want to be accountable to. I need help achieving them. I need the support of my friends and the blog community to help me reach these goals. I am very excited about what 2013 has in store for me!!
Fitness, Food and Photography 
Those are some great goals!
Great goals and I’m so interested in hearing how you find BBB. Happy New Year!

[…] (I’m loving that new C Spray that came in my Bulu Box). And I just bought that Ginkgo yesterday and plan to start taking it every day. I’m hoping it helps sharpen my brain and my memorizing abilities. (You know, since those babies sucked all my brain cells dry and I’m going to need them for studying)! […]
[…] that means it’s time to get back on the bandwagon. I need to get serious, especially since I have a Half Marathon to run in less than 4 weeks!! And what better way to get motivated than to have money at stake!! So […]
