Hi everyone! Between Halloween and the upcoming holidays and everything in between, life has been pretty hectic since my last entry so I do apologize for my absence. Right now, with Thanksgiving behind us and the upcoming holidays and new year, we are technically about right smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. This time of year is when I usually take a few weeks to reflect back on my weight loss efforts and take note of things such as what I found helpful in my regimen and what were the more challenging obstacles that I encountered. Before the end of the current year, I also formulate what I want my weight goals to be in the upcoming new year and my plans to achieve them. For example, one goal that I would like to achieve in 2015 would be to do at least one 5K (or perhaps even an 8K) since I found that I enjoyed participating in my first 5K this year. A second goal I have for this upcoming year is to try to write more consistently for this blog since I found that with a wedding, new home, and life in general, it was easy to get distracted and it was definitely a difficult challenge to add entries here as often as I would have liked. Anyways, even though it may sound cliche (and even though I despise getting older), I have to admit that I get a little excited when a new year is upon us because it gives me a sense of being able to start another 365 days with a fresh, clean, blank slate. So before the end of this year, don't forget to take the time to think about what goals and plans you looking forward to the most after this holiday season is over and we enter 2015. Good luck and Happy (slightly early) Holidays!
