As we get closer to the end of 2013 I smile and look back on how I did this year. I am 15 or so pounds lighter and completed my first half marathon. I am also starting to look to the new year and the challenges I have already set for myself. I plan to complete my first full marathon in November of 2014 and 2 half marathons in 2014. I have also set forth the challenge to eat better this year reducing the processed foods I take in and just trying to eat cleaner. I am excited for what the changes shall bring and hope that everyone here is excited to what the new year will bring and are proud of their accomplishments of 2013. May we all have a safe and happy new years. What challenges have you set for yourself?

I'm getting married in August so I need to drop to a UK 10/12 to get into my wedding dress.
But will happy to maintain 12/14 after that.
So I need to drop 4 inches off my waist in the next 7 months.
I've bought some heavy-ish dumb bells 15kg x 2 for my 41st birthday so I can really top up my daily efforts.
I'm also hoping to do Focus T25 in March. When I have saved the money.
I've already started 30 day shred.
I'm enjoying having my body back after losing 3stone in 6 months, will be even better with two stone less fat on it, and loads more muscle!0 -
12 pull ups
18% body fat
Run a 10k
Stick to low carb eating for more than 2 meals in a row. :laugh:0 -

Struggling between a 10k and a half marathon...worried about overstretching although I have already done a 10k last year!...Maybe I've just answered my own query!
2014 here I come!0 -
My goals for this year are to:
Finally hit goal of 125.
Be able to do as many push ups as my 9 year old can do, and have some definition in my arms.
Ride my bike every Sunday morning.
Maybe do some kind of fun 5K, like the Color Run? I don't know, I don't run at all, so that will be a stretch. But they look like so much fun.

I'm with you about the water. Really need to increase my fluid intake, but mostly need just plain water. Good luck with it!!:drinker:0

I am fighting with the processed foods as well and it is a tough battle...0 -
Processed Foods...that's a good one! I've done very well with counting calories and portion control. Now I need to focus on eating cleaner.0

I've got two: one is to get to goal weight. Second is to dig my bike out of the back of the garage and start riding again.0

My 2014 goals are to:
-eat fewer sweets
-increase water intake (and less 'adult' drinks)
-keep up with MFP- the food journaling is really helping me see where my calories go.
-compete in 2 sprint Triathalons
-remember I'm in my 40s and so is my metabolism. Long gone are the days where I could eat anything and not gain a pound.
For those of you looking for a great cardio regimen...training for a tri is great! It sounds hard, but doing all 3 sports instead of just running is incredible. I used to be a runner, but have found how much I love to ride and swim.0
