HAPPY NEW YEAR! For having such low expectations, I actually had a ton of fun. I was all ready to just wear whatever I had until I got a text from Meg with her hot little dress. It wouldn’t hurt to just pop into Kate Spade to look for something sparkly, right? Thankfully they were having a huge sale, and I walked out with this little number and then immediately Rent-the-Runway-ed this one for an upcoming cocktail party.
A friend rented out a suite at the New York Athletic Club, and we celebrated the new year far above all of the madness.
I just looked back through my own blog to see if I wrote about goals last year, and I don’t think I did.
Although I generally hate New Year’s Eve BS, I do like the idea of a fresh start for the new year and a reason to set goals. I have a handful of goals for this year, but the overarching theme to all of them is to be more mindful. I got pretty into yoga and meditation a few years ago when I was going through a rough patch, and I want to be more proactively mindful now.
Running/Fitness/Health Goals
I’m really proud that I was able to run two marathons this fall after coming back from an injury…but I am STARVING for a marathon PR. I’ve heard amazing things about Richmond, so I signed up for it the other night! Sub 3:50 or bust, please.
And I am going to do 9+1 again so that I can run my beloved NYC Marathon again next year.
I need to cut back on the wine and takeout and start eating better. Abs are made in the kitchen. Or something.
Personal/Professional Growth Goals
I had a long Serious Talk with one of my friends at work last week about things we want to do for ourselves to help us grow as people and as employees. She’s taking a UX class and considering doing yoga teacher training.
As for me…
I’ve always wanted to take a comedy class. I love making people laugh, but I’m somewhat shy. The idea of taking the class sounds terrifying, but I’m going to make it happen this year so that I am more comfortable speaking on my feet.
And I also want to get my personal trainer cert. Partially so that I’m more informed for what I write on here and at work, but also because I do eventually want to teach. Fitness has given SO much to my life, and I want to share that with everyone. I have the NASM books, I just need to actually study and plan a date for the test.
I want to be more strategic about my career growth and goals. I love my job to death, but I want to start thinking more about what parts of it I really enjoy and want to grow, and what I need to work on.
Oh, and I want to blog more. I enjoy this little space on the Internet that I’ve created.
And I want/need to take a real vacation. A proper really unplugging for a week kind of vacation.
OK, that’s all! What about you?
