    Okay, I started 2014 off great with my health and fitness... and then with a shoulder injury, and then another, my ability (and also my desire) to do anything even a little resembling exercise fell by the wayside. I've gained a solid 5 pounds, and I just feel flabby and yuck.

    On top of that, our diet has gotten lazy... I started this new career, and was busy busy busy all the time. I didn't make time for meal planning or advanced prep. And I started falling back on the easy, but not-so-good-for-you foods. Not good for any of us! Now I see my daughter craving junk food and sweets... I'm doing no one any favors by not making a change!

    I know it's cliché, but this is my resolution for the year... healthy eating, healthy living, healthy habits. Anyone else??

    I am going to definitely focus on eating healthy again. We totally fell off the wagon when the school year started because we were constantly on the go running to sports practices and games every night. Now that my boys are done with sports until spring I need to get back to cooking at home again. I'm usually a very healthy cook when i have time to cook at home, so we'll see. I have a foot surgery in Feb. so that'll slow me down on exercise for about 6 weeks, but I've been doing pretty good with that for the last year or so. One thing at a time... :)

    starting over again, but I swear this is THE time. I have seen my grandmother's health failing so fast and so many of her issues are hereditary. I HAVE to get healthy for myself AND my family. I have been using My Fitness Pal since "re-starting" and I love it.

    me too. injuries derailed me at the end of summer and I think I've put on 10 lbs just since September. :( not sure the injuries are healed, so I'll be carefully heading into exercising. my first day planned is on my birthday. that's my present to myself. and the healthy eating is a given. I usually do, just have to stop the bad-snacking!

    Ugh....me. I have worked hard over the last few years to be healthy, I eat fairly clean, go to weight class and zumba and b/c of my sucky thyroid disease I still ended up gaining 20 lbs this year. I am going to tweak my diet in January, fit in another exercise class or two every week and hopefully that will get me back on track.

    2014 was half-half: I did better on my exercise (yay!) but terrible on things like getting enough sleep (I currently resemble a racoon going on vacation - dark circles around my eyes with big bags), drinking enough water, etc.

    So, this year..trying to log my exercise and food (trying gluten-free and non-processed for this month). As for sleep...ummm..maybe that will be next month's goal. ;)
