2013 in Review & 2014 Goals

2013 was a really fabulous year! Some of the highlights include our trip to Mexico and Cuba last spring and lots of fun with family and friends. We also had the pleasure of attending four weddings, the most recent on NYE!

L to R: Stars & Stripes 5K, Temecula 5K & Awesome 80s 5K.

One of my biggest accomplishments of the year was making significant changes to my fitness routine, eating healthier and improving my health overall. I have big plans for continuing the process in 2014, including a bunch of 5Ks, San Francisco Walking Adventure Part 2 (Part 1), sessions with a personal trainer and experimenting with a lot of healthy recipes. Below is my full list of goals...
