Physically:
My goal this year was to run a half marathon and reach 1,000 miles.
In 2018 I completed:
6 - 5K road races
1 - 5K trail race
1 - 4 mile race
1 - half marathon
I didn't reach the 1,000 mile goal. I got sciatica bad in the spring and took 2 weeks off of running. I ran out of "gas" in December, very low miles. I was completely drained, and I got sick twice. As I type this, I'm dealing with an injured foot and no voice for 3 days now. I'm still proud to say that I ran 893 miles! This will be my goal again next year!
Even though it is still challenging, I have maintained my weight goal. I still enjoy my sweets, just not as much. I haven't cut anything out of my eating habits completely, which is why WW works for me. (If you ever have any questions about it or interested in WW, let me know.)
Spiritually:
I read 5 books this year. I was hoping to read 5 books from the UMW list, but it didn't happen. I will set this goal again for next year. I also participated in Dressember again this year. It really changes my focus on the end of the year and what is really important.
Mentally and Emotionally:
I completed the grad class that I had in my plans for the year. Emotionally it was a tough year for me. This fall I dealt with some strong anxiety. Due to seeking help from therapy, I was able to get myself back on track with a good mindset. It still is something I deal with, but for now I'm handling it well. I also ended the year doing a 90 day challenge. I wrote down 10 specific things I was grateful for each day in a journal. This really helped me before I went to sleep with positive thoughts. This will be a habit I will continue.
2018 was a roller coaster year, but I wouldn't change it. It has pushed me in many ways and made me a stronger person. Toast to a new year!
I'm ready to take on 2019 with a new word...how about you?
