2014

January 2014! Can you believe it? 2013 was a pretty lovely year. I am excited and ready for 2014 to begin. As is the usual, everyone in blogland is listing their goals for 2014...so you can probably tell what's coming.

1. Health -- diet & exercise. Meaning, fix my diet and continue exercising. I had a checkup today and it didn't go so well. Did you know I have gained TEN pounds since this time last year? That is totally insane. I have been exercising more than I have in the past, but have still put on the weight. I have gotten stronger and more flexible (thanks, yoga!) but it's time to lose a little of this desk-job-weight. That being said, I have given up gluten TOTALLY for the month of January. This is more in an effort to get rid of my daily stomach aches (no, really) -- I'm over it, so let's see if this works? I also have to eat fewer desserts, sigh (1. they have all the gluten, but 2. 10 pounds!!!! ugh!) I am going to continue running, yoga, and lifting weights. READY.
2. Continue saving money! We are almost halfway through our save money scheme and are feeling great! My bank account is looking pretty good with my house saving money, so that's a positive, too. Looking at you, 2016 to hopefully being prepared for house-buying (eee!) so hopefully we'll figure out where we want to live :)
3. The never-ending goal: being more patient, kind, and thoughtful to those I love and those I don't know. Always working on this one.

Happy 2014!
