2014 wasn’t my favorite year. It went by too fast. I didn’t cook enough, work out enough, get together with friends enough, enjoy my family enough, write enough, and drank too much. I’m a very goal oriented person, with written lists and I didn’t hold myself accountable in many areas.
It will be improved upon this year. I think I want to start running again. I think getting the heart pounding and sweating is imperative for mental and physical well being, and I have a tough time getting to my Crossfit gym when I travel 3-5 days a week. A quick run can be done anywhere.
Oh, right, food blog. Here are some of my favorite bites from 2014. Hoping for more in 2015. Happy New Year.
