I see Dad and Kay got a good start to the year with 30 minutes exercise, each!! Way to celebrate the new year!!
I have my first 90 minute Big Spin class tonight. We will be doing a bike/run brick. The class is the first of an 11 session series designed specifically for off-season triathlon training. Each class will either be a bike/swim brick or a bike/run brick with the last class being a swim/bike/run brick. Fun, fun, fun, don't you think? I have also started working with a triathlon coach. We just started on Monday and he got me in the pool. That is the first time I have been in the pool for about a month. It's funny how things are easier when you have a plan. Tomorrow will be another pool session, Friday's workout is on the treadmill, and Saturday's workout is scheduled for the bike.
Jack and I spent yesterday morning doing what I like to do on the 1st of each year, which is spend a little time reflecting on the previous year and make some plans for the year to come. This time, when thinking about 2014, we (I guess that really means, "I") decided we would approach the discussion using Stan's (my old shrink's) 9 box approach to a balanced life. So we picked 9 important elements to our lives and we decided how we would work on or improve each of them in 2014. I think they nine boxes were: Our relationship as a couple, our relationships with our siblings & parents, our relationships with our children and grandchildren, our health, events/activities (this include sporting events), our social life, our spiritual life, friendships, and our financial goals. It was a great way to start the year with a well-rounded discussion about what is important to us and the direction we want to head in as a couple. I am truly grateful that Jack is part of my life and is as enthusiastic about continually improving on what we have as I am. It may have taken me a while and I had a few false starts along the way, but it sure is nice to know that I am finally with the right life partner!!
I'd love hear how everyone else welcomed in the New Year!!!
Love to all of my family!!!!
A blog where we can discuss our goals regarding health, fitness, food and general wellness. This should be a fun space where we congratulate each other for a job well done, plan fitness activities to do together, and ask for extra support when we need it. Advice is good - but only when asked for! Feel free to post as much or as little as you like according to your own goals.
