Happy Holidays! If you celebrate Christmas, I hope it was wonderful for you! I had a great time with my family. This was probably one of the biggest Christmases we’ve ever had, so I just feel extremely blessed!
An obscene amount of presents!

It’s almost over. 2013! Since there are just a few short days left in the year, I figured I should finally give a recap of all of my health and fitness experiences from 2013.

Hey there and Happy Friday! I am finally on VACATION and I couldn’t be happier! I was able to finish up a majority of my Christmas shopping today, and hope that everyone loves what Santa Janelle got them this year!
On Wednesday I had my last nutrition counseling session of the year. You can read about visit 1, visit 2, visit 3, visit 4, and visit 5 by checking out the links.
The good news is that my weight remains to be stable. I am still hovering around my goal of 130 pounds and that makes me VERY happy. Prior to seeing the dietitian, I was creeping up towards 140. So I would definitely say that changing my nutrition made a huge difference!
The food logging is always a struggle, but overall Danielle thinks I’m doing a pretty good job. I am keeping aware of the food groups I consume through the day and definitely getting plenty of protein sources, so I’m happy. I had one luncheon and 2 retirement parties to attend this week, so I knew there would be carbs galore! But I mostly behaved myself…except for those two slices of cake, oops!

Happy Monday everyone! My weekend was so relaxing, and it was much needed after a VERY stressful week. On Friday I went to 2 holiday parties and ate, drank and socialized to my heart’s content. But on Saturday and Sunday, I vegged all day…I watched Chiefs Football and Nebraska Volleyball, the first season of Homeland (what an amazing show!), and had the less pleasant activity of taking down my Senegalese twists, detangling, and washing my hair. My shoulders are still aching from my hours of hard work!

Monday 12/9: 2.41 mile run on the treadmill, then hip strengthening exercises
Tuesday 12/10: Boot Camp Class, much more cardio intense, struggled through (too many burpees!)
Wednesday 12/11: Core and More Class
Thursday 12/12: Boot Camp Class, more focus on weights. Upgraded myself to 8 pounds…tough!
I intended to run on Saturday morning with my running buddies, but we’ve had such COLD weather lately, and I had too much fun on Friday to get up before 8 am!
Additionally, over the weekend I spent a lot of time reading various articles about how to make Run With No Regrets a better place! As a new blogger (I just passed my 5 month blogiversary), there’s so much more I want to do…
I hope these changes make RWNR a better place to be! I appreciate everyone who has dropped by and shared their experiences…keep coming back! I’m looking forward to increasing my engagement with you and getting to know other running bloggers out there!
How was your weekend? Can you believe it’s almost Christmas? Have you finished shopping yet (I haven’t!)? If you blog, what resources have been helpful for you?
