Back to Reality

I just got back to KC from Puerto Rico. I already miss the weather! 

But returning to the cold weather wasn't the only shock to my system. The truth is, I wasn't as comfortable in my skin as I would have liked to be down there. I've been lax, and I've allowed stress to get the best of me. But it's a new year and I'm determined to take back control. 
I'm not really a fan of New Years resolutions. Unfortunately it seems they aren't something a lot of people stick with. So I haven't set resolutions. Instead, I have goals for 2016. 

My main goal: Take better care of myself.  This means physically, but also mentally. It means I can, and should, be a little selfish. I do need that time at the gym. I do need to make sure my needs are also met. (I do need to recognize what my needs are). 

It's really a pretty broad goal. I also really intend to blog more. To document my journey back to fitness, to have an outlet for getting things off my chest. Start experimenting with healthy recipes, putting together new workouts. Really doing the one thing I know I enjoy. 

Here's hoping at the end of 2016, I feel like a different and better person than I did at the end of 2015!
