[NEW YEAR RESOLUTION ]

 

2016 is here. Already. And we all had, that last December 31st, the crazy idea to take some new resolutions: quit smoking, quit drinking coffee, quit eating cookies or chocolate...But this year, I will not QUIT anything. I will DO MORE: spend more time with my love and kids, smile and laugh more, eat more and RUN more.
 
My first goal this year is a challenge. I have decided to run a half-marathon in April. My first "long-distance" race in life. It is a big deal for me because I HATE running. Don't get me wrong, I am not a beginner. I run 20 miles a week. And every single time I put my running shoes on, it is the same question " Why am I doing it?" I still have not got the answer, but I am sure I will find it someday. Meanwhile, I keep running. It is the best way I've found to start my day.
 
Since I will have to run 13.1miles in 12(ish) weeks, I really need to lose few pounds...8 to be exact, but if I can lose 10 lbs by April 2nd, it would be my 2nd achievement of the year. And I have so many others in mind for 2016 !!
 
So the challenge starts on Monday, I have already figured out my training plan and I have just finished my nutrition plan for the next 4 weeks. Tomorrow will be the cooking day for a perfect meal preps. I am nervous but also so excited to take this challenge: it is not about the money, it is about proving to myself that I can do it!
