Here we go, 2015. It's a new year and we're cleaning up. It's been almost a year and not much progress since I last blogged. Still at about 170 and ready to kick off the new year right with some simple focused goals.
To start with I have this goal sheet from my gym of reaching 5 pull-ups in a row by the end of 2015. A few years ago, I was able to do my first unassisted pull-up and got up to 2 in a row. Now, at 15 pounds heavier than that time, I can't even do one. Besides some exercises that build up to pull-ups (vertical rows, horizontal rows, etc.), I was advised that weight is a factor as well, so a supplemental goal is getting rid of excess weight. So starting off by not eating after 9pm and increasing cardio with its own goal of doing a 5K under 40 minutes. I've signed up for a 5K trail run on February 14--fingers crossed!
Additionally, it's time for other parts of my life to get lean, so decluttering is in order. And I want to focus on creating and producing, instead of consuming (in my case, hopping around craft blogs, saying how much "I should make that!" and then on to another craft blog). So less internet, more making stuff. The exception is reading. I feel like reading a book is working out my brain, unlike say, surfing the internet. So here are the rest of the resolutions for 2015:
- Reading 12 books
- Getting rid of 12 boxes of stuff
- Make 12 things
Originally these were all going to be once a month goals, but I didn't want to restrict myself if I'm on a roll (especially the decluttering). Deep breath. Okay here we go!
