FitforCompetition

So, I've toyed with the idea of doing a fitness competition. I am not sure I would EVER do one, but I would LOVE to be in competition shape. That's why, when I saw that my girl, Amber, from Mother Pumper, put together a fitness competition prep program, I was EXCITED to check it out!!!! Here is the link: http://motherpumper.com/fitforcompetition/, check it out & if you want to sign up, PLEASE remember to put down that Becki Allen sent you!! The price tag is a little overwhelming, but there are two payment plans you can choose from, you can sign up for a monthly payment or you can pay every other month. The price is SUPER fair when you consider you would be able to work one on one with THREE trainers!!! AMAZING!!! Seriously, this program ROCKS!!!

Good-bye, so long 2013

How in the world is 2013 coming to a close?!?! WHERE did the year go?!?!? Well, it's the last day of 2013, so I wanted to take some time to reflect on the year. These were the goals I set for myself this year:

1. Run my first full marathon (probably in the fall)
2. Continue workout group at church
3. Continue running outside with running group
4. Take a yoga class
5. Make more of our dinners/eat healthier
6. Make a recipe off of Pinterest at least once a week.
7. My DREAM, which who knows if it will happen....to go on a yoga retreat

It looks like I really only accomplished 3 of those goals & the last one is debatable :/ I will say that I am OK with that though :) I feel SO proud of myself when I look back at the year.

• I ran my longest races this year, I did not accomplish a full marathon, but I ran two 25Ks, which is 15 miles. I am happy with that!! 
• I ran my first half marathon out of state. I will NEVER forget the Kentcuky Derby Half Marathon LOL I have wonderful memories of spending time with my BIL & taking the wrong turn & ending up on the FULL marathon course. 
• I started lifting, which has become my PASSION & LOVE!!
• I am a Train Dirty Fitness Ambassador AND certified to teach a TDF bootcamp. I NEVER would have dreamed that up for myself, so I feel incredibly blessed to have done those things :)
• I am working on getting certified to be a personal trainer & hopefully will accomplish that goal in 2014. 
• I attended the Inspiration & Perspiration conference in November & I met some AMAZING ladies and will probably never be the same b/c of them :)
• I have done a lot of things I NEVER thought I would do & have done things that I was scared of. I have a newfound confidence in myself and the things I can do. I am ready to conquer more fears in 2014!!!
• I had my first modelling job in 2013, and am now all over the website LOL
• I started the year off doing the Whole30 & since then ate clean MAYBE about 60% of the year. Another thing I didn't think I could do & yet accomplished in 2013!! :)

As you can tell, I am EXCITED about 2014!!! I feel like there will be a lot of new opportunities for me in the new year :) I am meeting with a guy from my gym on Friday who is opening up his own gym in Feb to see if there is something for me there. I am a little nervous, I don't want to work a whole lot more than I am now, I really want to be there for my kids. So that is something to take into account. Anyways, onto my list!!

My goals for 2014:

• get my Personal Trainer certification
• Lift heavy ALL year!!
• Eat clean 70/80% of the year & get my kids to each more vegetables & hopefully not cry when they see something green on their plates! HAHA
• Run a race or two
• Work in the fitness industry
• Go to the Train Dirty Fitness get together in the fall
• Use my TDF bootcamp certification, hold classes

That's about it!! I can't wait to look back in a year's time to see where life has taken me :)
