Well, it’s sort of tradition at this point, so I figured I would make a few 2016 New Year’s Resolutions.<\/p>\n

As with every year, I’m starting with “lose weight.”\u00a0 But more importantly, my goal this year is to stick with the principles I learned during Swim Bike Fuel<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ve managed to kick some bad dietary habits and I’m seeing the changes in my body.\u00a0 I’m starting this year at least ten pounds lighter than I was this time last year, and I need to see that continue.\u00a0 It’s not just about the weight loss – I’m also noticing a difference in how I feel and in my skin.\u00a0 For once in my adult life, I’m not constantly battling acne.\u00a0 (Well, I am right NOW, but I blame Christmas for that.\u00a0 Plus it’s really mild.)<\/p>\n

I also need to stick to my training plan.\u00a0 I did a pretty good job of that last year, but I need to keep that up.\u00a0 I also need to be sure that I’m pushing myself during my workouts. Sometimes, it’s good to have an easy workout, but only when an easy workout is called for.<\/p>\n

My other resolution is to get my house in order.\u00a0 There are so many things that I want to do around the house, but with work and training and travel, it never happens.\u00a0 My goal is to find sometime during the year where I can take a five day weekend and just do stuff around the house.\u00a0 My boss is always supportive of this idea, but it’s still tough to find the time.\u00a0 Plus I tend to be a vacation leave hoarder.\u00a0 My leave carries over (well, up to 240 hours, a number I have never hit), so it’s not like it’s going to hit an expiration date.\u00a0 I just feel like I should save it for a real vacation, not just for a staycation.\u00a0 This year, I’m going to force myself to take one staycation to sleep in and work on my household projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
