The start of a new month always seems to bring along fresh beginnings. One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2015 is to set monthly goals to keep me on track toward my long term goals, which is essentially to lose all the “injury weight” I gained for plantar fasciitis and piriformis syndrome.

For March 2015, my goals for this month are:

1. Continue to lift 3x/week. This month I’ll focus on incorporating yoga and foam rolling in my warm-ups and cool downs. Recovery is just as important as the workouts.
2. Focus on the 10 Habits of Precision Nutrition this month. In February, I focused on counting macros, and quite frankly, I don’t think it’s my style. I think I prefer a more holistic way of eating.
3. Try a new recipe once a week, and post about it here and on my food blog.

I plan on checking in at least once a week to report and evaluate my short term goals to see if they match up with my monthly and quarterly goals.

Reflections of Gratitude

I’m grateful for finally feeling like I’ve found a rhythm and am actually moving toward my long term goals rather than away from them. I’m actually looking forward to continuing training through the spring and summer, adding in tri training once the weather gets nicer. I’m signed up for a tri in August and will probably sign up for another one in September. I’ll plan to keep the distances short this year to support my weight loss goals. It was really the long distances they wrecked my body in the first place.
