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 -
Congrats on the up coming wedding Guinivere!! I struggle with the low carb for more than 2 meals...Love my breads and pasta...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 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 goals:
Lose 10% by July 4th (or I will lose $$$ in my DietBet competition)
Finish the Couch to 5K training plan.
Participate in my 1st 5K by July and a 10k by October
Ride my horse in 4 25-50 mile endurance ride (depending on his fitness)

Oh...and every day...
Log
Be active doing something for minimum of 30 minutes
Eat within calorie range0 -
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 -
Hi everybody,
My MFP-related resolutions/goals are:
1)Run the Gasparilla 15K
2)Do my first triathlon sprint
3)Get to my weightloss goal (14 pounds to go) and then reassess.
4)Lose another 3 inches from my waist.
I should probably try to cut back on candy or something, but it's just not going to happen!0 -
Hi everyone my goals for 2014
1) lose 70lbs
2) walk 100km per month - despite all the snow :sad:
3) no pop!!!
4) do a 15K hike in Jasper (Canadian Rockies) in the summer0 -
Hi Everyone!
My 2014 goals:
1. I did the first one already, which was to sit down and actually write out my goals and be very specific!
2. TRACK! TRACK! TRACK! (I've been very bad at this in the past!)
3. Drink at least 48 oz of water daily. I know the magic number is 64oz, but I am not a water drinker so I'm starting smaller.
4. Lose 50 lbs, which equals about a pound a week starting this week.
5. Get to know more people on mfp. I tend to be one of those "hover" people who join groups but don't join in the group, so I'm changing that this year. (hence the post) 0 -
Allot of amazing goals on here for this year, but no doubt we can reach them and beyond. 2014 is going to be an amazing year!!!0

I rarely make goals but I'm going to this year!
1. Take off the weight and KEEP IT OFF!
2. Learn how to eat at maintenance (see #1)
3. Run my first Epic Relay Race (a totaly of 16-ish miles)
4. Run my first 15K in the Shamrock Run
5. Drink in moderation--I don't have an alcohol problem, but I just cannot drink as often as I have been, even with exercise. No more booze gut!
6. I think that is enough for now!0 -
Hi I'm back after an absence
My goals are to run 10km in under 1 hour. I made my last years goal of 5km in under 30 mins,
Find time to run more for pleasure.
Need to commit to running the Mothers Day Classic this year and also do a military style cross country course, like the tough mudder
Get my head back in the game and start tracking again.
I also want to add more strength training to my exercise, actually add more exercise would be good. I want to walk more, add Pilates or Yoga for stretching and flexibility. Add finish setting up our home gym
I currently do body step 1x a week, body pump 2x week and i try to run a couple times a week anywhere from 5km to around 10km depending, as well as using my Fitbit to get to my 10,000 steps per day.0
